Is consuming protein post-workout beneficial? Rhonda Patrick weighs in

The trick is to maintain a surplus so it's not so much eating protein right away as much as it is getting it in every few hours so your body has a constant supply. You also need protein from quality sources like meat, dairy, and eggs. Plants are great for other things but building muscle not so much

I call bull-One should wait one or two hours after a workout to spike HGH. then at that point one can eat to drive anabolism. Personally i sprint fasted to get rid of BCAAs and amino acids that might be driving chronic MTOR overactivation. then i eat after a few hours to drive growth while still getting the benefits of HGH. - Meat based KD sprinter
