The Truth on When to Take Protein

I hope by now, everyone is well aware of the importance of protein in your daily diet. If not you either live under a shell in the bottom of the ocean or you're just some kind of video junkie who never watches tv or reads magazines. Proteins are the building blocks of the body and allow us to do all the things needed in our day to day tasks. The following explains the ideal times to have protein aside from regular meals.

1. In the morning. Make yourself some kind of shake using New Whey NutrItion's Multi Pro Whey Isolate blend; protein that the body can digest rather quickly and effectively upon rising. Add in some kind of carbohydrate source such as a green apple or strawberries. This will give you a blend of protein/carbs to start the day off right.

2. Post workout. I train around 5am for about 1 hour and then come home slap together a protein shake which consists once again of an isolate/whey mixture (Multi Pro) and slam this down within the most critical time of post workout (1hr after you train). The body is then exhausted and worn down; needing to be refueled with protein and carbs to immediately feed the muscles and your brain. After drinking this shake I then cook up my eggs and oatmeal to finish off this breakfast meal.

3. Mid day snack. This is to curb the urge to eat carbs or sugar. This shake would be a New Whey 42 gram Liquid Protein or another powdered shake in a cup. This meal should also allow you to make it to your dinner time without filling yourself up on this shake or tube. I would say kind of like a life line before dinner so you don't go looking for an unhealthy snack to eat and ruin all your hard work and training in the gym that day.

4. Before bed. The last time of the day to use the protein powders or liquid protein would be right before bed. This is a very critical time since you will be sleeping for sometime and the body will be basically in stall mode until you awake. You can slam down on of those variety of flavors of  New Whey 42 gram which has a nice blend of proteins in it and its easy on the body to digest while sleeping or once again mix yourself a Casein Protein shake. The reason you want Casein is because is slowly releases over about 5 hours, giving you everything you need while you sleep.


If you want to get results out of your training and hard work then you follow this protocol for success. Don't neglect this crucial time of the day to get your protein in.  The biggest problem I hear with the average person in the gym or who knows me is they think that once they have a shake, that's all they need for the day on the protein side. One serving of either source but that's enough for them. Try it for a month and you will see the benefit of doing so I PROMISE. Until next time TO GET RESPECT YOU NEED TO EARN IT!! You people know who you are.
