i´ve heard many times that the first 30 min-1hr after a workout is when the body really craves for protein and carbs.
but i´ve a question, if protein usually needs around 2-4hrs to be prosesced and launched to the blood stream does eating protein after the workout wouldnt mean that that protein would be used 3 hrs after the workout thus been unable to use the increased metabolism for muscle repair??
also eating protein before the workout would mean that this protien would be used better for energy than muscle repair???
thus leaving own muscle as the only imediately source of protein after a workout???
