I am going to start doing Jillian Michaels 30 days shread in the morning when I first wake up. I have whey protein powder with 25g of protein and 8g of carbs. Should I drink a shake before or after the workout to burn the most fat?

Do what ever works for you.0

It doesn't matter. The protein shake doesn't help you burn fat, your caloric deficit does. The protein shake helps to make sure you meet your protein macro for muscle health.0

I personally can't work out if I've just eaten, even if it is just a shake or smoothie.
I get up and work out first thing and then have my protein smoothie about an hour later.
So, I would say whatever works for you, but it you drink it before you work out give yourself some time to digest and your stomach to settle so you don't get sick.0 -

I drink mine after. There is a lot of Jumping jacks, butt kicks, and up and downs... I try not to eat an hour before the video haha Like swimming can give you a cramp0

I'm starting the 30day shred today also!!.. i take my protein shakes after my workout.. you'll be too full if you drink it before.. in my opinion.. goodluck!0

I would personally suggest drinking the shake post workout as your muscles will require the protein for repair and growth. Also working out early in the morning is a known method for increasing the bodies fat burning mechanism. You could fire it up more by having a black coffee or green tea pre workout. Also try to drink the protein shake within 15mins of your workout ending as this is when the body is geared to use your calories for replenish glycogen stores so your recovery time will be quicker0

It's not going to make a lick of difference in fat burning when you have the protein, have it whenever it makes you feel the best. Personally I would choose after, because I get nauseated be-bopping around with protein in my belly.0

I always have a fruit before I work out , like a bananna for energy, and after a protein shake to build and repair muscle tissue0

It will make a difference to recovery though
Glycogen recompensation will still occur even if the post workout shake is skipped, as long as the user eats a reasonable amount of carbohydrate before the next training bout. For most people, training once per day with some food between training bouts is sufficient.
Trainees who both:
A) deplete glycogen
And
perform multiple glycogen depleting events in succession
need precisely timed nutrients for glycogen recompensation.0 -
After. There is a lot of bouncing.0

Will it? Really? For 30DS?0 -
You are correct glycogen stores will still be restored if you skip the shake and eat later but this is much less efficient and will take longer. I'm sure most people who workout consume food within minutes of finishing their routine so they can be in the best condition possible for their next bout of exercise!0

My point is that by the time the next training bout occurs, glycogen status will be sufficient whether a post workout shake is consumed or not, provided the trainee is eating food between training bouts. Almost everyone does this.
There is no urgency to replete glycogen unless you immediately need it to train again the same day.0 -

This.
And do you even need a protein shake...can you not meet your protein with food?0
