You can benefit from drinking protein powder either before or after working out. Drinking a protein shake either pre or post-workout can increase muscle protein synthesis. Research suggests consuming 20 to 40 grams of protein every three to four hours for best results. So, if you eat a high-protein meal an hour before exercising, you could drink a protein shake an hour or two after working out. If you're supplementing with protein powder to meet your nutritional needs or to help with weight loss, you can drink a protein shake at any time, although keep in mind, one serving of high-quality protein powder will satiate your hunger so you'll want to space your protein shakes around mealtimes.
