I did my worktout this morning... following it, I had my shake... I was also starving... so, shortly after the shake I had lunch... carbs and protein.... a pasta sorta thing...
What I would like to know, is this a good idea...? Should I have waited longer after I finished the shake to eat the meal?
Thanks,
t

I'd be curious to know the quantity sizes / calorie counts / your goals to give you some good advice here.
Basically, if you got enough on the shake, then you should wait about 1.5 hours to eat the meal. But if you didn't, call it a Brunch and relax

After you have your PWO shake(sipping for 45min.-1 hr.), an ideal time to have your next meal is within 30-45 min. Gastric emptying occurs fairly rapidly with the amount of water consumed also in your shake. Gastric emptying is the evacuation of food from the stomach into the duodenum. In the duodenum, the last stages of digestion occur and the earliest stages of absorption and assimilation of nutrients begins.
The emptying rate of the contents of the stomach is determined by the substance, volume, osmolality, and structure of the ingested meal. Liquids empty much more quickly than solids.
Your PWO meal after your shake should be ideally a meal consisting of high protein, fiber, and fats. The pace of gastric emptying is related to the square root of the volume, so that a constant proportion of the gastric contents empty per unit of time.
Moreover, stimulation of duodenal osmoreceptors with triglycerides, fatty acids or hydrochloric acid slows gastric emptying.
Insulin sensitivity will be very low at this time, and another reason for the protein/fiber/fat meal. Give your pancreas a rest at this time.

Here's what FT set up for me:
Protein - 195 g
Carbohydrates - 488 g
Fats - 37 g
Total Calories - 3030
Ideally, I would like to lose fat, increase the muscle and perhaps maintain my weight, which is about 185 to 190.. I'm about 6'...
For breakfast I had two pieces of whole wheat toast with about two tablespoons of homemade peanut butter (probably blew the fat count with that)... and two servings of oatmeal.... waited about an hour, then worked out... that lasted about an hour and a half... shake, then lunch shortly after...
I haven't been horribly religious about writing down what I've been eating... just very aware of it as I eat and throughout the day...
