Oh - keep in mind I am cutting.
1800 cals per day max
about 200-250 g protein per day

just for reference

I would add a carb source to the post-workout meal. Since your cutting, maybe split up the honey and bananna between pre-workout and post-workout.

I prefer something like this though...

Pre:
-5 oz. chicken breast
-1 cup brown rice

Post:
-45g whey
-20g dextrose
-1/3 cup oatmeal

this is what i do

PRE ( 1 hour before ) = 1/2 cup of oatmeal, 45grams of whey protein
( half hour before ) = 40-50 grams of pure dextrose

POST = 40-50 grams of pure dextrose, 45grams of whey protein

No carbs before a workout man insulin will halt your growth hormone secretion that you need during a workout and cortisol will become dominant very quickly

I would take the milk out of your pre and post workout shake. It will slow absorption of nutrients and likely give you an upset stomach. I think a simple carb source with some whey protein beforehand would be fine.
