You answered your own question - eat your protein with carbs after a workout.

You want to get in protein as quickly as possible following a grueling weight session. A "liquid" meal is best here for quicker absorbtion, protein and a simple type carb. About a half hour to 45 min. following that, have your well balanced whole food meal.
