Protein After Training: How Much and When

The myth of a 30-minute post-workout “anabolic window” is heavily overstated. Total daily protein intake matters far more.

A good target is 1.6–2.2g of protein per kilogram of body weight for anyone training regularly. Spread that across 3–4 meals.

If you trained in the evening, a full meal with protein within 1–2 hours afterward is plenty.
