Protein

[cabom]

How many of you guys have the protein shakes before, after workout and just during the day? Does it make that much difference? I hate the taste off all the protein shakes.

Nutritional timing is now all the rage. I usually take a whey protein after workout with my dextrose and creatin. At night, before bed, I drink a cassein protein which is long acting. You need protein as you sleep as this is when muscles are rebuilt.

We "on" I take protein post workout...I workout in the am...So I make a protein smoothie with strawberries and cranberry juice and Designer Whey Protein..additionally I eat at least 2 bars of low carb protein bars I like the EAS Advantage bars or CarbSolutions.
Maximus makes a great point on taking protein before bed IMO I would do it at least 2 hours before sleep though.
Oh yea...makes a huge difference IMO.

Hope this helps.

God Bless.

If you hate the taste of shakes, find a new kind bro.

Check out the protein timing thread on the training board.

I take Meal Replacement Proteins during the day between meals. I eat Whey before and after workout, then another slow digesting protein before bedtime. I workout in the evenings so I keep a steady intake of protein throughout the day at work.

If you don't like the taste of your protein, then try another one. It might take awhile to find one you like with all the proteins out there. Myself, I stop tasting the shakes long ago. I could probably down raw eggs and tuna juice and it wouldn't bother me anymore.
