Hi everyone :)

I'm trying to get in shape and tone up and generally get fit and want to include protein into my diet mainly for either pre or post workout but have no idea what i'm doing!

I thought about protein bars but don't know if these have loads of calories or at least more than a shake?

What kind of protein do I need and when is best to have it? I would rather have something post workout so how long do i wait after my workout to have it?

Any help is very very very much appreciated and thanks in advance! :)

    I get an average of 80 grams a day, I should be getting more according to what most say...a gram per pound. I get most of mine from boiled eggs in the morning and on salads. Peanut butter on celery, hummus, chicken. Sometimes I will have half a protein shake after my morning workout.
