If you want to gain start lifting and take protein 30 min within ur workout. You'll definitely see results.0

Does it particularly matter when you take protein? I've started take my powder in the morning with my breakfast and in the evening in skimmed milk primarily to make me feel fuller for longer.0 -
If you're lifting your body needs it within 30 minutes of your workout. It's also good to take at night before sleeping. Your muscles repair while you sleep and use up your protein during that time so your body because protein deficient over night, so then likewise when you wakeup you'll be deficient of protein then too. So those are the times I take protein powder and I've discussed this w people at my gym that do actual body building competitions and that are insane shape and they do this as well.0

the type of protein powder isn't going to make you fat. I use a 100% WPI and WPC, unflavoured, unsweetened - personally, I don't like the artificial taste of the others, and my body doesn't agree with aritificial sweeteners.0 -

I think I've lifted, and competed in bodybuilding. maybe I was just dreaming....that doesn't explain the trophies though...0 -
It'd really depends on the type of protein and when you take it. Protein that breaks down slowly is good for overnight, where like whey protein is best for after a workout bc it absorbs quicker.0

Not in the least. Meal timing is broscience.0 -
Not 100% sure but I believe Garden of Life Protein is vegan. I use their Raw Meal Replacement formula. The meal replacement is higher in calories, but they also have a protein product that is not a meal replacement. I use the cocoa product and get it on Amazon.
Optimum Nutrition also has a "natural" product. But ON's natural reference may be that there are no artificial sweeteners in the product.0 -

Protein timing doesn't matter.
At all.0 -

Are you referring to the anabolic window...because that's pretty much bs.

This may help re protein:

If you bulk, you will gain some fat - keep your surplus to a moderate level and you will minimize it. If you are looking to maintain LBM and lose fat - eat to a reasonable caloric deficit, get enough protein (1g per lb of LBM as a minimum) and do a progressive loading strength training routine.0 -

Garden of Life RAW Protein is pretty good. Also I know people that like Vega Sport and Peaceful Planet Rice Protein a lot.0

Re protein powders - I like Optimum Nutrition 100% whey and Trutein (which is a blend).0

You have to lift to gain the knowledge. The education will come from the moving of weights. Go straight to the gym and be enlightened.0
