“I had an Rx bar for my snack it was the perfect thing for right after my workout. I do have a question for you...is it more beneficial to eat protein before or after a workout or does timing not really matter?”

“the timing of protein intake can depend on your personal goals and workout routine. Generally its beneficial to consume protein both before and after a workout. Before a workout it can help prevent muscle catabolism and after a workout it aids in muscle recovery and growth. But remember everyones body responds differently so its about finding what works best for you. Keep enjoying those Rx bars post-workout!”
