I know its healthy to have some protein after workouts, but with my work schedule I dont usually get to workout until 11-11:30 at night, and I know its better to not eat after 9pm. So my question is should I still eat something with protein in it, even if its that late or should I skip it? Also, if anyone has any suggestions as to what I should be eating for protein that late that would be awesome!!

Thanks!! :)

    There is nothing wrong with eating after 9pm or anytime for that matter. So if you want to get some protein in after your workout it's fine. Anything from a protein shake, to chicken to cottage cheese would be a decent source of protein
