Protein shake question!!!

hotpinkro

Should I be drinking a protein shake on the two days that I only do cardio?

Is there a reason you can’t get enough protein from regular food?

hotpinkro

I eat enough protein through out the day but it was suggested to me that I should drink a protein shake 30 minutes after my workout but two of my work out days are just cardio not weights. So I wasn't sure if a protein shake is necessary after every workout!

AllanMisner

The short answer is no, not if you’re getting enough protein during the day. But you should look at your recovery and performance and tweak your macros and meal timing as you go.

It's not.

Not necessary if you're meeting your allotment with food.
