I was wondering do I have to have a whey protein shake after doing cardio at the gym ?

    you certainly don't have to. if I go particularly hard at the gym, though, I do tend to get super hungry after. so it would certainly help fill that hole in the stomach.

    its actually not a waste of money...say you get a 4lb tub for $50, thats got over 100 servings, at $.50 for 30gm of protien, thats not a bad deal...90/10 beef has 7g an ounce, so at $4/lb that's a little over $1 for the same 30g of protien, double the cost...

    however you really only need it if you do weights or very hard/legnthy cardio

    Do you"have to?" Of course not...why would that be? Can you? Sure, if you feel some protein would be a good thing right then, and its something that you enjoy. You don't "have to" eat anything . You should eat healthy things, most of the time.. but nothing is compulsory.
