great question
And yes while eating right after is a good, I hear you about how dirty locker rooms etc.. can be.
Here is my suggestion and similar to what I do-
I take a shaker cup and put in some glutamine and protein (soy or whey) I also put some ground oats and a little honey. So after I workout simply add cold water shake it up and drink it.
This will give you the needed recovery but also buy you about 1-2 hours before you get a proper meal.
what kind of cardio ?
I was just recently told to start up some interval cardio, and to make sure I have had a good meal or two in me if I can. If I was to do the cardio first thing in the morning, I was told to make sure I atleast had taken some form of protein and BCAA's.
However, if I was to do cardio at a lower intensity (fat burning) level, just make sure that I get my meal in right afterwards.
... i ususally do have to
... i ususally do have to eat as soon i i cardio on an empty stomach or else i get the shakes really bad from low blood sugar ... i do take l-glutamine each day to help with that but still a 45 minute workout on the stread mill or elipticle will delpete my reserves ... i'm just wondering what to do with myself during the hour i have to wait to lift weights .., or should i just not cardio on days to lift ... i feel like i'm wasting a trip to the gym if i dot do cardio ... i feel uncomfortable in a gym any way ... i usually work out at home but with any change you want to make , you have to get out of comfort zones sometimes to achieve goals ....

after weights...
I always do cardio after getting done with lifting. When I do legs, I give them a rest from the cardio. I would probably hurt myself if I tried. They feel like rubber when I am done. The days off of lifting is when I do intervals, otherwise it is low intensity cardio.
