If you can get your protein from food sources, that would be much better. Protein shakes are only a supplement that will aid you if you cannot get enough protein from whole food sources such as tuna and chicken breast. It is however best to take it immidiately after workout just as bropie said. Take it with water instead of milk after the workout because it will get to your muscles quicker than with the milk. Mixed with milk would be great any other time of the day. (except for before workout I believe) Hope this helps. Anabolic state means the state that your body builds muscle pretty much. DX

Banana shake helps him gain the energy lost and there is absolutely low fat value in it... This helps people who are trying to build muscles... And milk in egg is not harmful at all... however it is used by people who are trying to gain weight..
