I would say have some complex carbs when you wake up to fuel your body from not having any food for 6-10hrs, however protein is important to have in your body when you are heading to the gym. This will stop your body from breaking down and using muscle to fuel itself, instead it will use what is in your belly. Then having another protein shake after your workout will help your body find protein to help it repair itself when you are done.
I personally use creatine mixed with my pre-workout shake to help my muscles stay hydrated and then glutamine afterwards to help the recovery process. I also have a protein/glutaimne shake before bed as this is the time your body will be doing most of its repairing. I also take 6g of L-arginine (I know it helps for sex too) before bed as it will help increase your HGH levels.
I have found since I have been getting ~10g of glutamine everyday my soreness and fatigue is gone after a day vs. a few days.
It depends alot on goals, extra money you have available and of course time restraints. For myself if I aint working I am at the gym or golf course....oh and on CP, of course!
