Does it matter WHEN I get my protein?

    That made me LOL. I've been known to have an unusual sweet tooth. I put 7 sugars in my McD medium coffee.

    I've been doing some research and it seems to say that eating about 20-60 minutes before the work out is best.

    However I usually lift and do cardio on the same day and when I do cardio I tend to feel sick if i eat too much beforehand. What has been working for me though is I eat half of a luna protein bar 30 minutes before my workout session and then the other half a little bit after. My goal has been to build up some muscle and its working for me...slowly...

    Maybe eating before hand would work for you too?
