I recently read an article on Discovery Fit & Health about what to eat
before and after a workout. It was extremely informative. Everyone always
thinks that exercising is what counts when, in reality, what you eat is just as
important. Making sure your body has plenty of energy to burn while working out
is so essential. It's essential that your body has fuel to burn or else you
will feel hungry during your workout, as well as "weak and
unmotivated." In general, your post workout meal should include something
with moderate protein, high carbs, and low-fat. Also, be sure to drink lots of
fluids. 
In regards to your post workout meal, carbohydrates are futile. Eating carbs an hour or two after a workout helps to enhance your energy for the next day. Protein is significant as well; it helps to rebuild any tissues that may have been damaged. Additionally, staying hydrated is always necessary.
