Overall, there isn't much scientific evidence showing that drinking a protein shake during any particular time, before or after a workout, is significantly better. "I don't think timing matters as much," says Weekley. Instead, the ideal time to drink a protein shake depends on a person's goals, the intensity of exercise and personal preference.

The article from MSN discusses the optimal timing for consuming a protein shake to enhance workout performance and recovery. It highlights that the best time to drink a protein shake is within 30 minutes post-workout, often referred to as the "anabolic window," when the body can most effectively utilize protein for muscle repair and growth. However, the article also notes that consuming protein before a workout can provide energy and reduce muscle breakdown during exercise. For those looking to maximize muscle protein synthesis, having protein both before and after workouts is suggested. Additionally, the piece touches on the importance of overall daily protein intake rather than just the timing, suggesting that spreading protein consumption throughout the day can also be beneficial for muscle health and recovery.
