Protein after workouts

I've heard that protein really helps your muscles after a workout for a very important reason!
"You're doing this because resistance exercise breaks down muscle. This requires a fresh infusion of amino acids to repair and build it. "If you're lifting weights and you don't consume protein, it's almost counterproductive," says Volek. Protein also helps build enzymes that allow your body to adapt to endurance sports like running and biking."

I realize it's more centered for men, but it's still important for women too!
