    best time to take protein powder?

    I've heard that it may be better to take your 'post-workout' shake 'pre-workout' instead. Any comments?

    You should be getting protein throughout the day, but some whey pre/during and or post workout could provide possible extra benefit. You dont need alot, this is what some use amino tabs for.

    I have heard that recently also...I think the theory is that if you take your whey before training by the time you are finished your workout the amino acids from the whey become available for immediate absorption.

    IMO...be safe...take your whey before AND after training...better safe than sorry...right?

    yeah, but why would you want your stomach digesting food during your work-out?
