what do you ladies take post-workout

[emmab]

I have read most of the posts on post-workout meals, but I am wondering what the females among us take...what sort of ratio of protein and carbs is good for a female ie someone not wanting to take in a million calories after a workout, and wanting to lose body fat???

Gotta have carbs AND protein post workout, whether you want to lose BF or not... W/o either you're wasting your time working out.

After a workout I can go as high as 38g. carbs and 50g. protein. Granted I probably dont absorb that much protein but when I'm taking in 251g. of protein per day, I need to get it somehow...

I tend to have a MRP shake or a balance bar...and, it's best to have it right after your workout...

I usually do a protein shake made with two scoops powder, whole banana, orange juice and ice to thicken it right up...
