During a workout all your blood is going to your muscles and buy ingesting a protein shake all that blood will be diverted back to your gut. Hence waiting an hour to an hour and a half after eating to workout. Wait till after your workout.

I would suggest your nutrition pre workout and post workout is the important factor. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

But, the main reason that even whey, as fast as it is, does not peak amino acid levels for up to an hour, it makes some sense to start your shake a bit early. You will have no digestion problems starting about 15 min. before ending your training session. This is strictly your call though. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
