There is emerging research that pre workout protein may indeed be more anabolic than the post workout meal. I like to play it safe, and do both. Makes perfect sense to me.
If interested in reducing cortisol levels during your workout.....
From Lyle....Probably the best way to control cortisol during a workout is to sip a diluted carb drink. By maintaining blood glucose and insulin at a higher level, cortisol levels shouldn't increase as much. The gut can only handle between 30-60 grams of carbohydrate per hour and that should be mixed in about 32 oz of fluid to get the optimal concentrations.
