Protien/Carbs after working out....

If so, what would the ratio be (PROTEIN TO CARBS)? I weigh 200lbs and my I lift and cardio on alternate days. I want to retain my muscle mass. Also, do I do cardio BEFORE or AFTER weights?

So, for me, building muscle was paramount. But, if your body fat percentage is realtively high then you might want to readjust those goals until you get it lower, but totally up to you!

I am trying to build lean muscle as I burn the fat - if that is possible? How about the other question about having CARBS after training? any ideas?
