Late night training - get all protein during the day, or save some for after workout?

Hi there - in instances where I have to train later at night (finishing 09:30ish), would you recommend taking a protein shake after my workout, or would I be best getting in all my protein before the workout and then just sleeping when I’m finished?

thanks

I would recommend getting a protein-containing meal in post workout regardless of time. :slight_smile:

ive had similar concerns, when you say “meal” does that mean food + shake? bc i only take 2 scoops of whey with a glass of milk after i finish training (~10pm) then go right to bed. should i also eat a carb? i dont want to get fat, i already have 20%bf

thanks sir.

Whey is food and milk has carbs so that’s all fine with me. It doesn’t matter what time of day you eat, provided your calories are appropriate.
