GOLDEN RULE #6 FOR NUTRITION Protein shakes are often considered supplements, but we like to think of them as important meals to be consumed at critical times of day. While your diet should consist mostly of unprocessed, whole foods, a protein shake can sometimes be a better option. One such time is 30 minutes before your workout. To prepare your muscles for the ensuing training session as well as get a head start on the muscle-recovery process, drink a shake with 20 grams of protein (either whey or a mix of whey and casein) along with about 40 grams of a slower-digesting carbohydrate (see Lesson No. 5). Then, in the 30-minute postworkout window, drink another 20–40 grams of liquid protein (mix in water for convenience) and 60–100 grams of faster-digesting carbs.
