I feel nauseous/stomach pain

This again may be due to poor meal timing or because of the foods you eat. Protein, fat, and fiber are slower to digest and may be the culprit of your stomach issues. So try to avoid things like nuts and seeds, whole grains, legumes, eggs, and other high-protein, high-fat and high-fiber foods within 2 hours of your workout.

I am starving right after my workout and eat too later

This is because the last meal or snack was too long before your workout or too little in calories. If you don’t eat enough before, you will end up starving right after. When we are starving, we tend to either overeat or make poor food choices, both of which will counteract your efforts!
