It really depends on how much protein you get from food, try to at least get 1 gram of protein per 1 pound of body weight.

Take one, and eat more whole foods. Double scoops taste like crap anyways.

Before a standard run, (not HIIT or anythng), I would say 20 gr. is fine. Try to get it about 10 minutes before starting(this will negate any blood sugar thus insulin output) that might occur.

After a run, I would suggest eating your next scheduled meal, make it low glycemic to keep insulin at bay.

After weights, if you "earned" it, you need a protein and simple carb shake guaged according to your energy expenditure and goals.
