If you plan to workout after dinner, give yourself 60 minutes if possible, 30 at least, so some of the Carbs and whatnot, have a chance to start converting to Glucose energy, and start working for you.

As for shakes, most have about 25-30 grams per scoop, so just have a couple of scoops after a workout, or if you don't want to spend money too often on powders, you could keep the use of Protein powder down, have one scoop not two, so it takes longer to use it up.

if activity is high than you'll need at least 6 meals day which will keep your energy levels up throughout the day
