After last set I drink PWO shake which is:
2 scoops whey, 1 scoop gatorade for 46pro 36carb 2 fat.
About an hour after shake I usually have 2 cans of tuna, and a head of rommaine lettuce. Im just maintaining right now though, not trying to gain.

Right after my workout, 2 scoops ON 100% (44g P) and 8 tsp (40g) dextrose.
An hour later, 1/4 cup brown rice, a chicken breast, and any veggie I wanna put in.

IMHO, the window of opportunity is not as short as we usually think
Most of the studies have been done with people who didn't eat any carbs for a while
I guess we have a few hours to eat our post WO proteins
As far as carbs, I am still wondering if high GI carbs (dextrose, maltodextrins) are the way to go .....

There's always gonna be studies that conflict about this and that, and everything in bodybuilding, but I think that most current evidence points to the "Post workout anabolic window" being no longer than 45-90 minutes.
As for post workout carbs, you should definantly go with a moderate to high GI carb. Your muscles need to restore their glycogen stores ASAP. High GI carbs are a good way to do this. As long as you aren't taking in too many calories, you don't have to worry about getting fat from it.
