Episode 2890:

Consuming protein at the right time has long been debated in the fitness world, but does it really make a difference? Eric Bach breaks down the myths surrounding protein timing, revealing that total daily intake matters far more than the timing of each meal or shake. Instead of obsessing over post-workout windows, focus on hitting your daily protein goal, training hard, and recovering properly for the best muscle-building results.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://bachperformance.com/protein-timing-does-it-really-matter/

Quotes to ponder:

"It doesn’t matter when you consume protein as long as you get enough."

"Protein timing has little effect on muscle and strength building."

"Don’t let the protein timing question haunt you any longer. Set your number. Eat protein. Hit your number by any means necessary. Call it a day and grow."
