Hi, I work out at lunch and take my Whey shake 1/2 during and 1/2 after the workout.
When I get back to my desk I have a high protein sandwich because I’m always starving after a workout.
Is it ok to have a protein shake just before a meal? I can’t find any information on this and have searched the web for days!
