Whey protein would be best as a post workout drink only.

I agree with rpacheco... Protein is best to take after your workout. Take it within like 1/2 of your workout.

I never have anything while at the gym except for lots of water to keep myself hydrated. Make sure not to eat anything too sugary before your workout. It'll just make you feel weak.
