What is the minimum time after the workout in which i should take protein?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends!: On intensity of workout. If low-30 minutes. If vigorous-1-2 hrs. Activity decreases blood flow to the gut and food absorption is delayed. You can hydrate immediately, preferably with water!
