Preparing proteinshake before workout and drinking it after?

[Eradallion]

I prefer to mix my protein with milk, but as I want to consume it immidiately after workout, I have to mix it with the milk before workout, then leaving in my bag for the 1,5 hours I train, then drink it afterwards. Now, there's nothing wrong with the taste or temperature when doing this, but I was wondering: does leaving my milkmixed protein in room-temperature for 1,5 hours deteriorate it in anyway? The protein doesn't lose any of its effect?

[Kaikara]

It won't deteriorate, but how do you plan on keeping it cold? Room temperature milk after 1.5 hours is gross.

No, the protein will not lose it's effect. The protein will not be broken down or denatured (broken apart) by the milk, I would say you are fine

Is there a reason you can't make the shake after at home?

Why do you need the protein drink immediately after your workout? With milk it sounds disgusting at room temp...

[EPolis13]

You don't need to consume it immediately post WO, OP. Don't stress about it, just eat a meal or drink it when you get home if you 're hungry. It's not a must.

[Mcfreako]

lol. just make it when you get home

[Kizewic]

I fell into the myth of needing it directly after as well a while back. Now I just make it when I can. Your body doesn't immediately use 30 grams of protein post work out just feed it in a reasonable time after you lift. You'll be just fine

[cumminslifter]

what is your pre workout nutrition like?

It doesn't actually reach room-temperature. It stays pretty cold throughout the workout

[Eradallion]

what is your pre workout nutrition like?

When I get home I immediately start preparing my dinner, so that's 300-450 grams of chicken (300 g is 10,5 ounces), and 125 grams of rice. I also drink high protein milk with my post WO meal. The chicken is 22 grams of protein per 100 gram, so that's borderline 90 grams of protein if I eat 400 grams. Also, the high protein is 50 grams of protein per liter

I like it when you call me OP

[Blacklac]

You wont lose out on gains if you wait until you get home. I promise.

the simply answer is no. but you need to watch the temperature in the room if it gets to hot it can spoil the milk and ruin the shake. if you like to use milk and still feel unsure about mixing your protein first. you can bring the protein in alittle container and mix then or there are new smart shakers with a twistable lid on the bottom for storing dry protein this is also very handy

[SW0LD1ER]

If not PWO, then what about the "anabolic window?"

this

[snorkelman]

When I get home I immediately start preparing my dinner

Then why not skip the shake entirely and just eat whole food when you get home?

I assume that you are not training fasted. If that is true, then your body is still likely benefiting from elevated aminos in the blood from your PRE-workout meal.

I take mine to work and mix it right before I drink it. I keep my milk in a separate, 1 cup size waterproof cheapo rubbermaid container on an ice pack in my lunch box (actually 2 shakes per day). I can't stand protein mixed up that long before drinking it, it seems to take on a thick nasty consistency that I don't want to form until it's in my body. I suggest the container/ice pack combo for best results.

Also, the "I must consume protein seconds within completing my workout" myth is just that from what I've seen when I did my research. There is no real need to digest a shake that fast after working out.

if you are eating a meal pre workout you do not need immediate post workout nutrition

What do you mean when you say the milk could be spoiled by the temperature? How high would the temperature have to be for that to happen?

At room temperature you will be fine. There really isn't any need to drink it immediately. The anabolic window thing is a myth as well. As long as you hit your daily amount, you are good.

[lucia316]

I love that OP is ignoring everyone telling him he's wasting his time worrying about the anabolic window and his post-workout shake. Gains will be lost bro. Gains will be lost. Not srs.

Bro, dude - Brude. You have to start worrying about the little things, man. Makes life so much better

[BigHustle]

Bro the anabolic window is bull****. Take it when you get home. The answer is no it will not be broken down or less effective in any way but just the thought of a 1.5 hour protein shake chugged down after a workout makes me sick to my stomach. If you still insist go with a muscle milk bro. Portable and still tastes great at room temp.
