When do I take protein powder?

I got a low fat low carb protein powder. I think i'm suppose to have 2 servings to match my body weight? When should i take it if i will take it twice a day?When do I take protein powder?
after and before work outWhen do I take protein powder?
1. Immediately After A Workout





This is generally agreed to be the most beneficial time to take your protein powder. Immediately after you finish your workout, your body needs raw materials to rebuild and recover with. Most weight trainers will tell you that you have a 20 minute “sweet spot” immediately following your workout to consume your protein powder to get the most bang for your buck.





By taking in some protein (20 to 30 grams or so) within minutes after exercise, you provide your body with the raw materials it needs to recover.





2. An Hour After A Workout





An hour after the workout, your body will have already processed your initial protein powder shake. Having another one an hour following this may seem overkill, but it is a great way to speed up the recovery process.





3. First Thing In The Morning





A protein shake in the morning can give your metabolism a boost, and start off the day well… but be sure to follow it up with a solid breakfast.





4. Last Thing At Night





If you take this route, make sure that you combine your protein with a “slow” protein source, such as milk. The reason for this is that, at night time, when your body is relaxing, you want the protein to be processed slowly throughout the night. Milk is a great way to slow the digestion down.





5. In-between Meals





In between meals, ultimately, is really just a way of keeping your body supplied with protein throughout the day.





6. With Meals





Taking a protein supplement with meals is ultimately just a way of increasing your protein intake when your meal might be low in protein.
Why do people post the same question over and over, instead of asking a stupid question why not just ';Search for questions'; the question you need answered.





YOU TAKE IT BEFORE AND AFTER A WORK OUT??


when else would you take it, after you take a ****?
