When should I consume protein powder?

I don’t think it really matters when you consume your protein. Time it for whatever helps you stay full through out the day

it doesnt too much, best practice though is still to have a fast acting protein in liquid form after strength training, preferably in the first hour and not because of some "anabolic window" although nutrition partitioning is highest in that window, but more to help start recovery immediately.

It may matter for body builder types but I’m not sure.

no different than anyone else, but usually more diligent in timing

If you’re doing keto, you are probably getting enough protein or getting close

doubtful....unless someone is tracking closely like you said, usually an eye opener




OP- it doesnt matter too much in the grand scheme. I can sit here and tell you...do this or that to be perfect but in the end...if you hit 1-1.5g of protein per lbs of bw or muscle mass if obese, and you stay in a caloric deficit....you will lose weight and maintain muscle. so the answer to the original question is take it whenever you want to help you get to your protein target number

but best way is just take 40-50g of protein after the strength session.

I just eat like 2lbs of beef a day

It doesn’t matter. Just hit your daily protein goals.
