    It is not required...

    But if you workout (and I mean lift heavy) this is the optimal time to put protein and other fuel to use for building and recovery, perhaps starting within 30 minutes after the workout..

    Not so important for cardio workouts..

    Bro-science. There is no scientific evidence supporting timing of meals.

    On the other hand as a scientist there is considerable lacking of what science can answer. Personally I just feel better drinking a protein shake after a good workout. Wouldn't call it necessary, but don't think its harmful.

    Honestly broscience is nothing more than adhering to a routine. Doesn't really matter what the routine is as long as people stick to it.
