Protein, The Bible

Examine.com has shared some core, easily digestible info on the all important macronutrient at schwarzenegger.com. Some sample takeaways:

• If you are working out and are not fasting, your total protein consumption matters, not your timing.
• If you are working out and are fasted, then timing can matter. However, pre-workout protein is more beneficial than post-workout.
• Worrying about the speed of absorption is a waste of time.
• Glutamine is useless if you eat enough protein.
• BCAAs are useless if you eat enough protein, except when fasted training.
• HMB is useful when cutting.

Solid point to help make life easier:  
As long as you get enough protein and are training after having eaten in the day, protein timing is NOT important.
