when to drink a protein shake...

vivavegas02 Posts: 96 Joined: 2004/03/18	2004/04/16, 12:05 PM I have been having protein shakes for lunch/snack... But I read on here that someone said they drink their shake after a workout. I have whey protein, HDT Pro Blend 55. Which is best?

The main idea is to promote anabolic growth of the muscle and not catabolic breakdown of the muscle, your body can convert muscle to energy easier than it can fat. bb1fit might be able to enlighten you better on this subject.

I would also recommend using an MRV for snack, they will give you more nutrients that you need. Good Luck! -------------- There is no substitute for hard work

Now I shall end my rant, lol and hope once again that I've helped atleast a little. -------------- A determined mind is the best weapon in any situation, a strong body is the road to victory. G.R.C.
