Protein Shake after workout or before?

[mayoclever]

This might be a dumb question...

I started taking protein shake.. My doubt here is before workout or after workout?

Does it really matters?

Thanks in Advance..

After.

Post workout is when your muscles need the added protein to begin the healing process.

and don't forget carbs. carbs are more important post workout than protein. for every gram of protein you eat, also eat 2 grams of carbs post workout.
