When to have protein shake?

shivles

The tub says to Have one in the morning and one at night but it would say that

So do I just need one after I do a weights session or after a run too? I work out 6 days a week, alternating weight lifting and running, looking to build up some muscle.

have it whenever, it won't make any difference if you have it before or after your workout for example.

As long as you hit it within 24 hours of workout.

Do I need it on days when I run too or just days when I lift?

Whenever you for some reason can not get all of your daily protein from real food. That is the only time you "need" one. Srs bizness. Some of the links here may explain to a degree. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/686963-large-collection-of-info-for-beginners

^^^ what he said.

Have a daily protein goal, if you get that all from food...no shakes needed.
