Post workout

I used to down a whey shake about 30 minutes after I lift my last weight (right when I got home from the gym) and then ate dinner about 1 hour later because the shake kinda made me not want to eat. Now I come home, shower and put on proactive, then heat up dinner which is a baked potato, 1 tbsp of natural peanut butter, and an 8oz piece of chicken. So I don't eat until about 1 hour after I lift my last weight.

Am I hurting my progress by not having a whey shake before the shower? Should I add some kind of carb before/with the shake?

Right now I get about 300g protein a day and only 50g of that is from shakes (one in the morning with my oatmeal and a cassien shake at night before bed).

Well based on what Tatyana told me here: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/8024074-post21.html

I'm going to add in a whey/skim milk shake before my shower. But any other advice you guys have is still welcome.

The PB will slow down the absorption of nutrients. After lifting you want a fast acting protein - whey.

Thanks I didn't know that about the peanut butter. Looks like I will be adding the whey shake for sure.

You might want to mix the protein powder with water. Milk will also slow down absorption. It does taste better with milk however.

From what Tatyana was saying it would be better to use with milk because it will stimulate GH and insulin release..... plus i hate how it tastes with water lol.
