IMO, I would only take it once a day, maybe twice at the most. You should really be trying to get the bulk of your protein intake from whole foods. Take the whey as a PWO shake with some simple sugars. Drink 1/2, then sip the other 1/2 over about 30 minutes. Other than that, maybe have it as part of meal, something like the whey mixed with some oats and a little tap water. The oats will help slow its digestion. It's most usefull PWO, when you need protein immediately.

If just once, take it PWO as noted above.
