Hello everyone, I am definetly new to BB.
My question may be kinda stupid, but because of my work sched. the easiest thing for me to do is have a protein shake 30 min before my workout followed by another protein shake after the workout, unless I wait more than 1 to 1.5 hrs after my workout to eat again.
Is this bad, or should I limit to 1 shake either before or after a workout and try harder to get a meal instead...
Thanx. Any and all comments are greatly appreciated.
Some other details that may be of interest, I am doing Rippetoe's Starting Strength routine for the next few weeks.
I am 30yrs old, 160lbs, 17%BF
Just completed a 100% raw food diet, which surprisingly is very good and effective, but I missed regular food.

Hmmm good idea on the banana.
Also was wondering, if it would be better to prepare a sandwich for my PWO meal. Two pieces of whole grain, lettuce tomato and other veggies with either turkey or ham. Would this make a good choice, it has carbs, protein and fat.
What makes a good PWO meal ???
Also I dont have a lot of time before I go to sleep after my workout, usually about 3 hrs.

Never drink protein within an hour of working out. You could die.
