After you've worked out you need to replace the energy used up. Carbohydrates are best for glycogen replacement. And you'll need some protein for muscle growth and repair.
The best time to eat is after your workout. Too much before a workout doesn't get used as fuel in the workout, might leave you feeling full and lethargic, and you'll probably end up not even doing it. Or you'll put in a half-hearted effort.
And if you're one of those who work out during your lunch break, you'd be wise to work out first and eat afterwards.
