A member asked:
I usually consume 30 or 60 grams of protein after my workout, but thats because i think that my body will need it more after the recovery. is this right?

Protein: It's a good idea, because it helps your muscles recover and grow. Your muscles don’t care if the protein comes from a hard-boiled egg, glass of chocolate milk, or whey protein shake. Whatever you choose, more isn’t better. You need only 10-20 grams of protein for your muscles.
