The process that was recommended to me, and that I currently use, is a quick system burst of whey protein, Lucine and glutamine. The shake I take also has an amino acceleration system which is basically comprised of enzymes designed to allow your body to take the amino acids from your stomach to your muscles in as little time as possible.
The only probably with something like a meal after a workout is it takes longer then ideal to digest it and get that protein into your system. An egg for example, takes 45mins to be digested. You body goes catabolic during a workout, and to minimize those effects it's ideal to get nutrients to the muscles asap.
I take creatine pre-workout and during the workout, followed by a protein shake post-workout. The eggs are my 4th/5th meal of the day (I work out at 10PM after work).
I use "ON Gold Standard" whey protein. I have tried about a dozen brands and it's by far the best tasting/working.
