If you really want to consume the shake have it with in 45 minutes after your weight training . Follow the instructions for mixing on the label. You would want to purchase whey isolate for the quality. -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press.

The best time for protein is immediately or within and hour or so after hard physical training, so the muscles that you stressed can get the 're-building material' they need. Most supplements advise four to fives times a day to take it. I do a double dose after workouts, and then spread the other 3 out evenly during the day. Before bed with milk is a perfect time also. Obviously liquid will absorb faster, so if you have whey powder, mix it with some water, juice, or milk. If you don't mind the taste (I don't cause I really only worry about results) use about 3/4 of a gatorade right after a good hard cardio session.

Take your whey with water or juice not milk. You dont need four servings per day thats just a waist of cash. Get a good diet, at 15 your hormones and a good routine will do the rest.
