Please tell me can eating a lot of protien during recovery still build muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You want to take in protein within 30-60 minutes after working out. Taking in amino acids, the building blocks of protein, during your recovery phase will also help to build muscle and decrease soreness.
