So I finished weightlifting over an hour ago and I didn’t get a chance to have protein.

I read online that we are to have protein 30-60 minutes after weightlifting.

What should I do now?

    Have the protein if you want it. All that's necessary is that you're getting enough protein overall.

    I'd eat/drink the protein and move along with your day.

    It’s not that critical. Have some protein and keep on keeping on.

    You could drink BCAA’s while working out then you don’t have to worry about the protein afterwards.

    BCAAs are worthless and will do nothing for muscle protein synthesis without the other essential amino acids found in whole proteins.
