On my lifting days, I usually eat a little in the morning just to rev my metabolism, go work out (45min cardio, only steady state on the lifting days), have a bit of protein powder, lift, then PWO. Do those shakes seem correct? Thanks again for all of the help. Also, for squats (I think this one got overlooked)- is it ok for the heels to leave the ground, or should I just stop squatting when I can't go any farther w/o raising them?

sorry man, that post kind of confused me let me see if I got this right
Non lifting days (cardio I assume) pre shake is 20-30g protein, then post is the same with some fats.
If this is so, I would drop the fats, but you have the right Idea.
On lifting days, Pre shake is nothing, and Post is 50g Protien 25-30g Carbs.
here I would add a pre workout shake of 20g Protein, 15g carbs. This will help you move wieghts in the gym, and keep you from going catabolic while lifting.
As for the squats I'm not sure what you mean. I've never had my heals come off the ground before, so I'm not sure what thats a sign of. I wouldnt just stop squatting, I would back the wieght down till you can do them with good form, then work your way up.
