Except for the time after work-out,which is the best time for protein drinking

stwlwl · 09-25-2007, 05:23 AM

Hi,guys.
Thank you for your reply in advance.

I usually drink whey two times per day.One is before breakfast,the other is after my workout in the afternoon.

But still someone tell me that it's not efficient to drink before breakfast.It said that I'd better drink it with breakfast or just after breakfast.

I'm sure that the one in the afternoon is no problem.

So who could give me a certain word and prove it.

Please consider I'm not in a diat and want to gain more weight.

bout 30 mins before your workout is a good time to take it.

You also may want to consieder taking a slow-digesting casein protein shake before bed. Whey would be best at other times of the day.

If you have whey before workout like gym_addict said have a think abotu what you mix it with.. i know that with me, if i mix it with milk like i usually do then i start to feel rather sick mid workout, but if i mix it with water, it doesnt taste as good, but goes down a lot smoother for the workout.

yeh definately with water as its absorbed alot quicker. Throw in some mono aswell bout 3-5grams then the same straight after your workout

You should also take it, anytime when you can't get any other source of protein or don't have time to make up a meal Don't forget Aminos too

30 mins Pre & immediate PostWO is fine...

Id say before bed is a must as well.....this way you'll avoid any catabolism while you sleep,

Depend what type of training because you wouldnt obviously take protein on board 30 minutes before a run but if weights I agree and straight after I think is appropriate as you have ripped your muscle fibres to encourange them to grow and protein is what heals your muscles. Can even have one of a night so your muscles can repair throughout the night as thats when you recover most.

You guys are so warm.
Two things need to clarify.
I just take one type whey:ON's golden whey.
So I think it would be a waste to take it before sleep.Usually I take the other resources:rice ,eggs.sort of.

Second,I want to know, should I take one before breakfast or after breakfast.I'm always confused about it.Need your comment on it.

Thank you ,Skeptic.I would rather not take it before work-out,cauz I have the same problem.

Your muscles need nutrients during the workout, so taking it pre wo, and immediatly post wo works great. Mix with water, never mix with milk pre wo. Milk sits in your stomach and therefore makes you lag and feel sick because its sitting thick. Not to mention if you throw up at the gym its going to smell terrible. Take whey during the day, and take CASEIN at night, casein is a slow release protein that works great because your muscles are getting nutrients to strike growth all throughout the hours you are sleeping. Remember these are supplements, not meals...so eat your egg whites, rice, chicken etc...and ADD extra protein into your diet throughout the day. Meals work great getting all nutrients however to give you that little extra, thats where your shakes come in.
