At what times do you drink your protein shake?

[Friend]

Which times do you suggest a breh drinks protein shake for maximum growth?; morning, lunch, pre work out, post work out or before bed?

It doesn't matter.

It is needed to keep your protein intake if you don't get enough protein from regular food. It doesn't give you some magic gains.

The only thing I make sure is to drink 30 grams of this shyt right before going to bed.

Spread this shyt throughout a day.

Right after work out you have an hour Window and before bed. You can also do meal replacements as well.

There is no such thing as one hour window for protein after work out. It's a marketing.

This window is for carbohydrates.

Hopefully your talking casein and not whey.

Tell me more.

Simplest answer possible, casein breaks down slower, which is better when your taking it before bed since your going 8 hours without food.

All you need is to make sure you get the amount of grams a day = to how much you weigh in pounds.

So I'm 180 pounds so I should intake 180 grams of protein. That is, if you want gains.

I usually have a shake when I wake up, defiantly one after working out, and sometimes one more in the evening between meals

Casein is cool for bed but whey is way better for after workouts.


I won't buy anymore after this batch I'm sticking straight to whey.

I'm not disputing that. I just said casein is a better protein to take before a fasting period. I take whey in the am, and pre/post workout.

I've got a big bag of protein shake that's been sitting in storage. I went through the first bag without any real results. EAS chocolate that I bought from BJ's Wholesale. (I hate that their name is BJ's).Tastes good.
I bought egg-based protein shake mix from GNC. That tasted awful. They gave me a refund for returning it though.

What if you're not consistently working out?
