there's a ton of research when it comes to what works best with regards to aerobic vs. anaerobic PWO meals. It basically comes down 2 critical meals for each.
Anaerobic: Immediately consume glutamine and arginine and nitric oxide synthetases, a quick absorbing protein and moderate carbs. 2nd meal about 1 hr later that is higher in carbs and as much protein and creatine you can take.
Aerobic: Similar to the weight training pwo meal, but the ratio is different. So for cardiovascular & aerobic workouts try to take in a meal with a four-to-one carbohydrate-to-protein ratio. Should have no less than 80 carbohydrate grams and 20 grams of protein. It needs to be taken within 30 minutes after exercise for best results.
There's a great book that focuses on this very question. It goes in depth on how to boost Insulin and HGH and IGF-1 (muscle rebuilding and repairing) with regards to specific meal timings along with diet/supplements and sleep.
