How harmful for your health is not eating protein after a workout?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not bad...: But somewhat better to do so. But if your diet is high in protein with good nutrition in general, taking a shake or eating protein afterwards is not a necessity. Some benefit, but not large!
