Protien shakes, you guys. It seems like they've been working for Ryan Gosling. Bitch is getting buff! Ryan says he just works out and eats a lot to get in shape.
Numerous studies suggest that you should eat BEFORE & AFTER a workout. About an hour to 45 minutes before a workout for energy; within a half hour after to give your body back the stuff it needs. Without properly fueling yourself, it can lead to burning muscle instead of fat.
According to fitness mags {I forget if it was Men's Health or Mens' Fitness} you can get the stuff you need after a workout with a nice jug of low-fat chocolate milk. It works in a pinch, and economical too. Those fancy protein shakes are like $8! For myself, I buy the big tub of whey protein powder and make my own at home. The big tub is usually around $20-$30 and lasts a couple months. The general consensus is that our bodies can only absorb about 20-30 grams of protein at once {I would think this varies by height/weight}. So most of the time you can take about half a supplement drink and still get the maximum benefits.
