Should i drink a protein shake after workout? or is it better to before?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Either!!: I don't think there is any specific scientific reason to take it before or afterwards. Personally i will have it afterwards. Lets see if any other physician has any recommendations about this matter. I would like to be educated on it as well.
