When is the best time to take protein?

[brahh67]

I wanted to know when the body is most craving protein to absorb. What would be the best time of the day and how soon after a workout should I be taking some?

this myth that you absorb protein has been blown way out of proportion because of insulin use.

if you are not using insulin protein timing isn't that important as people think

3am. Naked. In the street.

Post workout your body can and will absorb more protein then any other time of the day since it has depleted amino acid levels from the workout you just performed

I mean in terms of replenishing the body within 2 hours of your workout you can have your whole food source of protein.

The best time to take it is on a day that you are not able to get enough protein in through real food.
