There is a lot of research out there about how you need to refuel within 45 minutes of a workout, with a 4-1 ratio. That helps your muscles recover faster when they need stuff the most. Eating later doesn't have the same direct benefits. Also, even when doing cardio you need to refuel the muscles you used, not just with lifting.
Protein and complex carbs are keys to all this recovery - ESPECIALLY if you work out for two hours!!
