    Prime time to use it is after a workout, preferably within 45 mins of finishing your workout, whether cardio or weights. It's there to repair the muscle damage and help aid weightloss and lean muscle mass

    I drink a bit 30 minutes before my work out and the rest within 30 minutes later. I wake up, make a scoop and drink it, then go to the gym. After gym I'll come home and drink another scoop before I make breakfast, etc. For cardio I do a scoop of whey after I'm done along with some good carbs.

    No worries :) the lean protein repairs your muscles and aids recovery. Easy rule of thumb to help out is that carbs before workout (at least 2 houra before a workout) and protein afteri workout is usually a good one. X

    Once a day, 30grams of protein within 30 mins of waking up!

    No right or wrong time. I use it after lifting, but also whenever I am trying to meet my protein macro and coming up short through dietart sources. It can me made into a shake or added to soft foods like oatmeal or yogurt. I add the Walmart Body Fortress brand to oatmeal and yogurt, but don't typically drink it unless it is blended in a shake because it tends not to mix well with shaking only. This has been my experiece. I use another brand for drinking, currently GNC AMP. GNC AMP is really expensive though, so I'm looking for another brand for drinking.

    Some days I will have some for breakfast or some for lunch.
    But I try to make it right after my workout as much as possible.
    I use Body Fortress Vanilla and I LOOOOVE it! Tastes like ice cream. I recently bought chocolate of a different brand (Jillian Michaels) to try because it was a bit cheaper and there was less of it (in case I didn't like it). But if I am not going to have my protein after working out it's usually a meal replacement, I find that on the weekends I'm not usually hungry for lunch so drinking some calories doesn't make me feel as miserable as forcing myself to eat.

    PS: I use a blender because stirring it with a spoon doesn't get it all the WHEY mixed (see what I did there ahahahah goofball).
