Hello,

I have tasted this protein whey lately at a friend's house and realllly enjoyed the taste! Finally found a protein powder I actually enjoy!

By looking at what it has to offer (I really don't know much about powder...I just drink it and that's all!) can you let me know if it's a good pre/post workout product since I want to do things right once and for all!

Thanks in advance!

    Feed my muscles?

    I'm quite new to all this, trying to read as much as I can...
    I read that protein is needed to feed my muscles and burn my fat...

    So...feed my muscles and burn the fat?


    Oh boy, I have so much to learn still... :/

    OK, lets start with the basics then...

    Nutrient timing is fairly insignificant in the bigger picture. Do you have a good handle on your calorie intake? Appropriate macros? Exercise? Rest/sleep? If not, focus on those first as they will be responsible for the vast majority of your success or failure.

    Protein supplements can go a long way with helping you hit your protein goals, but ideally you'll want to get as much of your protein from real food as possible (not from supplements). If you struggle to hit your protein goal, then a supplement is perfectly reasonable. If you don't, then it's unnecessary.

    All this nonsense about feeding your muscles and getting protein within an hour of your workout is about 5% truth and 95% marketing hype.

    As far as burning fat goes, a protein supplement won't help with that. Exercise can, but it's mostly about diet and patience.
