When to eat protein after weightlifting. Immediately?
The correct answer is you consume some carb and creatine while working out. Then within 90 minutes of your workout have a meal of balanced protein and carbs. The rule of thumb has been for years is you need 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass. If you are in a massive growth stage of your training up the protein to 1.75 per pound of lean body mass. Keep the fluids coming to help your kidneys from being stressed and you should do great. Your nutrition doesn’t need to change on the days you don’t train, like you said that is the repair and build time.
