[:Bobby:]

Depends on what else you eat. Definitely after the work-out. Depending on your training experience, diet and weight, maybe prior to it as well.

[henrythegreat]

take it before you train and in between meals is what im told

[Renegade]

After training, you've gotta re-build the muscle fibers, that's what protein does. Carbs are for "energy to burn", do some before training with a little stimulant. I like a drink called Cytomax before sparring and then a bottle of ABB's Blue Thunder after cause it has both protein and stimulants to keep me from wanting to go take a nap. LOL!!

I usually have a light dinner about 2 hours before training -- 500 calories or so, usually a Lean Cuisine, a glass of nonfat milk, and a slice of multi-grain toast. I eat a banana or a couple of pears in the car on the way to the gym, and slam about 50 oz. of whey protein as soon as I get home. Your mileage may vary.

The rule of thumb is Energy before, Protien after workouts. By energy I am talking complex carb. NO BS energy drinks I like freidycats aproach for me it's 3 apples 2 bananas 2cups milk blended about 45min - 1hr before workout
whey + fruit w/milk after.

About 1 hr before training a eat lighty, mostly brazil nuts, almonds, walnuts with a bananna or apple. I have a creatine drink just after this meal and take lipoic acid and l carnitne. On the way to the gym il drink some wheat grass juice.

Straight after training I drink whey protein mixed with water (mixing with milk slows the release of protein, makes the whey act like casein protein) I also add creatine,glutamin,chromium,taurine and linn, pumkin,sunflower and sesame seeds blended. Then I get home and eat about half an hour later.

Just thought this might help some1 and give them a few ideas.

Do some research before you say ****** **** like that, it'll save a lot of embarrasment!

Whey is from MILK, and therefore is animal protein. There's NOTHING that makes whey inferior to other proteins.
