Hello and welcome friend!

Well are you using a post-workout meal or shake? If not, then I would at least move this meal to after the workout, yes. Even better would be to leave this meal alone, and then have a shake after you lift weights. Try to use water, protein powder, and a carb source. I like dextrose and maltodexrin, some like fruits and some even oatmeal; I think my selection is best. :)

Also, don't have this post-workout shake after doing cardio, just weights.

How "pre-workout" are we talking?

It would be fine, however I'd prefer having the whey powder POST workout with simple carbs and having a normal, real food protein source (i.e. egg whites) with your pre workout meal.
