does eating protein after weight lifting workouts help your muscles recover faster?

i work out really hard, and whenever im done with my workouts i become really tired for the rest of the day, and my muscles look puny because theyve been broken down, would eating a few houndered calories more help me recover faster either? ive been working out for 11 weeks now

1. Let's get a few things straight:

1. Eating a few hundred calories of complex carbohydrates and protein after your workout will give your muscles the building blocks they need to repair more quickly and effectively.

2. Your muscles do not look any different after your workout; your perception is distorted. Eating after your workout will not change how your muscles look on that day.
