Well, I've never really done the pwo shake thing (a few times I've had some whey in water, but I don't think it's a pronounced enough difference that one can do it and be like "Yeahhhhh, feelin' more pumped!"), so I'm not the best source for that. I'd just google stuff like "post-workout nutrition" etc to see what pops up from reliable sources like dragondoor or bodybuilding.com etc.
The main reason I asked the other stuff is that the idea of post-workout nutrition contradicts pre-bedtime nutrition. When you eat after a workout you want thinks that absorb quickly and go straight to the muscles, helping them repair immediately etc. When you eat before bed you want stuff that'll stay in your tummy and take a long time to digest, trying to minimize the effects of catabolism (your body eating itself, more or less) overnight.
I'll def check those sites out.
As for nutrition, let me get this straight, I don't want to mix things up.
After a workout, I should get some meat like a chicken breast. Would burgers be ok?
Pre-bedtime, it's ideal to eat carbs just as long as it's a couple ways away from bedtime.

Eating shortly after lifting is usually highly encouraged.
