Is it true that it takes about one hour for protein to be released into the system? I was just wandering because I want to know when exactly I should eat my pre-workout meal. Thanks :)

It depends on your body's ability to metabolize protein and the type and quality. You should get a good quality protein in within 45 min after a workout
