[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2292309, member: 475037"] If you're trying to build muscle, you usually benefit with some protein within 30 minutes before you work out or while you work out in combination with some carbs for fuel. But the most important is protein within 30-120 minutes of finishing. Basically your muscle will break down as you work out and needs protein to build and rebuild. You don't necessarily need huge amounts of protein, your body has a tendency to only be able to use a certain amount at a time anyway. You just need to make sure you supply some. Amounts you need really vary in opinions. If you are really intensively working out, you might outright need more calories, the longer your workout the more calories you burn (and protein) and it will make it difficult to build muscle if you don't have enough calories in the first place, [/QUOTE]
