When Do You Guys Drink Your Protein?

[homicidalmo0se]

Right now I'm drinking my Muscle Milk after my workouts and before I go to bed. My brother told me that's what he does and that I should do the same.

On days that I don't work out, I drink one shake around 4pm and that's it. Only one on non-workout days.

What about you guys? When's the best time to drink 'em?

I know the sticky says before your workout and after your workout, but I just want to know how many people do that.

After my workout and any other time during the day i get the urge or dont have time for a meal.

Usually every morning and after a workout... I use to take it before bed, but got the horrible protein farts in the middle of the night... yuck!

[homicidalmo0se]

Lol. Is that the only reason you stopped taking them before bed? I've yet to get protein farts in the middle of the night.

7 AM
6 PM (post workout)
11PM

Also throw in one around 2:30 PM sometimes

[zrod]

I take it before and after my workouts.

Muscle Milk isn't really the proper protein to take after you workout. If you could get some whey protein that would be ideal.

I take protein currently once a day n thats PWO.

I take mine when I first wake up around 5:30 or 6, then after my workout around 5:30 or 6, and sometimes one before bed. On non-workout days, I take it in the morning at the same time and usually one before bed as well.

BUMP on that

I have a shake PWO and before bed

[homicidalmo0se]

Yeah I'm gonna get some whey to drink after my workouts when I get the money. Is it still okay to drink Muscle Milk and whey in tandem? They wouldn't interfere with each other, would they?

P.S. What does PWO mean? Post-workout? Pre-workout?

PWO is Post Workout...Taking the muscle milk before bed is fine...i used to do that just got expensive after while

[homicidalmo0se]

Is this a good whey shake?

same here. i do take one before bed, for a total of three shakes aday. i had to switch from egg whites to milk because of the f@rts were making my eyes water.

ON whey is good(opinion) thats what i use. I use 2scoops, then add 12-15g bcaa and 5-7dextrose and drink my shake during work out

[joemomma]

I'm also using the ON Whey. I hear good things about the chocolate mint as well, I'm currently using the vanilla ice cream and it's down right tasty with milk, not so tasty with water.

Workout days:
1st thing waking up
After workout
Before bed with milk (unless I workout late that day and eat my post workout meal close to bed time, then I forgo my bed time shake)

Off days:
Morning after BCAAs and Creatine
before bed with milk

PWO and whenever i dont have time between classes to sit down and eat a meal
