Some builder eats before workout and then they take some time to eat after workout however it is necessary to eat after workout within one hour window so that they can get full benefits of their workout.
The science behind this theory is very simple and it's a fact that builder needs to eat within one hour window. When we do workout our insulin level gets increased and that helps in muscle building so when we eat within two hours after the workout our body start synthesizing protein faster.
Some Studies also goes against the theory which however do not reject the benefits of post workout meal but they shows that post workout meal can be consumed after some more time than one hour.
