The most important time to use whey is 30 minutes after a work-out, whey is a high bv protein that absorbs quickly. This time after a work-out is referred to the "anabolic window" and anyone that trains should take advantage of it.

I recommend at least the amount of protein that you normally consume in one meal. So, if you're eating 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight currently (recommended amount) spread out over 6 meals, if you're 200lbs that is around 34 grams per meal. So, your whey protein post work-out should be around 34-40 grams.

I do, I mix whey, creatine and glutamine 2-3 times per day.

about 30grams whey, 5 grams glutamine and 4 grams creatine.
