weightlifting: when to eat protein

[Guest guest]

By myself and others the need to eat a protein-rich snack immediately after

or within a half hour of a workout in order to maximized immediate muscle

deposition has been mentioned several times on this list.

I've read a couple articles recently on a rigorously controlled study that

took place a few months ago that tested several groups by the crossover method

(each group was tested both before and after workout) for different kinds of

meals either a) within one hour before workout or b)immediately after workout.

They found eating protein within 1 hour BEFORE the workout to be 2.5 times

more effective at producing immediate muscle protein deposition than eating

immediately afterward.

This would make sense, given the time it takes the protein to be

digested and distributed. Is protein one of the things that gets

digested quickly, while still in the stomach? I forget, but even if

so, it might not be immediately available.

what do you eat in the way of protein for workouts?

I eat raw liver before hand often.

An additional way to support protein digestion either immediately

pre or post workout is betaine hydrochloride supplementation.

Reason being that in the presence of adrenalin and other such

hormones produced under physical stress stomach hcl is minimized and

as such would severely hamper pre during and post excercise protein

metabolism. Especially during and post.
