Finding the right time of protein for your training can be pretty daunting. Well, it has been for me!
So, let’s start with some basic knowledge.
Why should I use protein powder?
If you train hard and regularly then adding a protein powder to your nutritional regime will help you repair and build muscle. Boosting your protein intake through a powder format is the easiest way to do so. There is a wide range of different types and flavours of protein powders so there is something for everyone.
How often, and at what tome of the day, should I have some protein shakes?
It is recommended to take some no more than once a day either 30 minutes before or after exercise.
How to use protein powder?
Protein powder can be used/consumed in many different ways. It can be mixed with water to form a drink or added to a morning shake or you can also add protein powder to a multitude of food recipes such as pancakes or porridge.
