Hi I am new to forums, and I always wonder if I should take my protein shake before my workout or after. I have researched a lot and see the answers others have given this question to people who have asked this already. Im a freshman in college so i work my weight lifting and comsumption of protein shake around schedule. This is what I do. I would appreicate anyones opinion.
Mondays and Wednesday I have a night class(it was the only one open for the class I had to take lol) and I commute. So usually my schedule on those days are
7:00-Wake Up
7:30-Breakfast(eggs, a bananna, and two toast at the most)-So the eggs are a good source of protein, so i have a supplement in the morning.
About 10:00-I just take a protein shake.
12-1- in that general time I have lunch. Usually chicken breast, with some carbs at the side, and salad or anything with vegetables. So I get protein, carbs, and other supplements, because I know protein isnt all that matters.
Then about 3:15-I take my last protein shake for the day.
3:45-4:00- I head to the gym/and do cardio for 10 minutes
When I come home about 5:30-5:45(depending on traffic or sidestop if i got to pick up something lol). I have dinner, which comprises of everything, meat(chicken breast usually or even turkey, vegetables(probably a salad) or any good supplement of carbs). So I dont really take a protein shake after my workout as the dinner refuels, and gives me everything, because I know protein shake is a food supplement, so I take it twice a day, but i take my last one before i workout, so when after, I eat dinner, and I am good for the day. Opinions?
