Before or after you workout? I am doing elliptical and a moderate amount of circuit training. Any suggestions?

Timing is irrelevant, eat when you're hungry.0

Eat when you're hungry, but a protein shake is optimal within half an hour after a workout.0

"Well, one of the times that your body is in need of it the most is immediately following a workout since your body starts to heal the muscle right after a workout, taking protein at that time will give the body the fuel it needs to heal and grow."
