A member asked:
Which is more important, taking protein before a workout or after?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A bit of both: While acute consumption of higher amounts of protein before and/or after a workout can reduce the recovery time post-workout; a more important focus should be made towards consuming a balanced diet with a slight bias towards a higher daily protein intake.
