hey bb1fit i have a question regarding the AST VP2 whey protein I take two scoops immediately after working out. If i eat after i take my protein shake will that slow down the absorbtion of the whey protein or is that only when you take the shake after you eat? Thanks again for all your good advice

You want to take your post workout shake with some simple sugars. Eat about a 1/2 hour after you finish your shake, a good balanced meal. You do not want to slow digestion post workout, and simple sugars(dextrose and maltodextrin) will push absorbtion directly into muscle cells with the insulin release.
