Hey I have a question, is it better to eat a protein bar before working out or after?

I ask this because I eat it before, because I learned that when your body is burning calories, protein turns into muscle easier or some shit like that. But then I see that brady quinn commercial where he says he isn't done until he has his protein shake, after he works out.

I AM CONFUSED

after you work out is when your muscles need to rebuild and grow using the protein - during the workout you're just damaging them so this can happen.

yes, but don't expect it to provide ideal results. Protein bar is a solid and protein takes a while to digest. Meanwhile, your muscles will get their energy back from glycogen stores.

A liquid protein shake is the best thing to eat immediately after strength training.

If you eat a protein bar before working out, some blood will be diverted to your stomach and away from your muscles, which need every last drop.
