Protein shake timing

[jgprather]

I purchased a protein powder a couple of weeks ago. My intention was to drink a shake every night at bedtime. But it doesn't taste that great and is pricey. Plus, I struggle to eat a high protein breakfast because by the time I finish working out, it's only a couple of hours before lunch.

The shake has both whey and casein protein in it.

So my question is, would I still reap good benefits if I drank my shake for breakfast after my workout every other day instead of before bedtime ebery night? I am not looking to build huge muscle mass.

Thanks.

Protein powder is food. What benefits are you speaking of?

Drinking it in the morning is fine.

What flavor is it? Try mixing w/ milk instead of water.

Current theory sez its most beneficial to drink Whey within a 1 hour period after working out. From what Ive read, casein works best at night cause it sits in your stomach for a while and the slow protein release has an anti-catabolic effect.
However a lot of the good protein blends have both :confused:

We need to know the total amount of Protein, Carbohydrates, and Fats you consume on a daily basis before we make an assessment.
