whats the best time to drink whey protein or other supplements relative to working out. I was thinking it would be a good idea to drink it an hour before so it has time to dissolve in the system. any suggestions?

Take it within 30 minutes of your workout for maximum benefit. Remember that whey protein is fast dissolving and quickly digested by the system, so its main use is for post-workout intake. Usually casein works much better for a pre-bed time shake or whatever.

Anyways, the amount of scoops depend on how much weight you want to gain. I'm currently taking about 50 grams of protein immediately after my workout. I'm nights im not drinking/partying (i'm at college) I usually try to drink a naked juice protein zone which has about 30 grams of whey protein. Even though its not casein, its still helps stave of the catabolic state that happens during your sleep. However, I've seen benefits using 30 grams post work out too. That being said, the benefits are far more when you take more, up to a certain point.

whey does take a little while to digest so if you take it too soon before you workout you might feel a bit sick, you really should be having protein with every meal so if you find you're not getting enough protein throughout the day thats where whey is good. also you should check out a post workout shake like cytofuse or surge.

Was going to ask the same thing. I love my damned fiber.

I take 20g 3 times a day. One blended with blueberries ater a workout. That one I consider the most important and never miss it. I can feel my stomach taking the fucking protein and distributing it, I fucking swear.

Why the shit does it matter? Not in a single article I've read has mentioned it being crucial to avoid fiber with whey protein.

Directly after a workout. A liquid protein supplement should take no more than 15 minutes to metabolize.

fiber slows down absorption which defeats the purpose of taking whey as opposed to casein or soy
