I will ask her soon. We chat frequently so it shouldn't be too long before she replies.
Thank you. When I get home I’m going to try my old walk and see if I can make it.TWT, it doesn't seem that long ago that you were contemplating walking a mile.
You've come a long way and most of that is because of your will to get back to where you were.
I doubt that more than 0.1% of the population would have come nearly as far!
Bret, I’d say that 0.1% of America’s are not in as good of shape as TWT.TWT, it doesn't seem that long ago that you were contemplating walking a mile.

She's in great shape, even with her setback last year. Only a very, very determined person could do what she did in coming back. She has all of my respect.
. I usually eat the most protein at dinner anyway - over 50g - so I generally don’t see the need for a shake.
Last time I did research, they said that taking protein within 30 minutes of workout was optimal.I have read something that a protein shake before bed can be helpful for recovery and sleep. I just can’t remember if what I read was bro science or a real research paper

exactly which is why my pre-sleep protein shake is also casein protein which also metabolizes slower ensuring a steady stream through the evening. Also fills me up and keeps me from getting the munchies after the gym.I didnt say to only do protein before bed.
Digestion and metabolism don’t stop when you sleep. They only slow. For metabolism, the commonly given figure is 15% slower, which isn’t a lot.
The general thinking is that not consuming enough protein in later hours can cause you to spend more hours deficient in protein. Dinner at 8pm and breakfast at 8am is a 12hr gap with no more protein ingested. You’d never do that during the day, why during sleep. A late protein shake cuts those hours down.
Here’s a review paper with a good overview on this specific thing and more info about protein consumption during the day.

getting those Taco Hell luxe munch boxes would be counter productive.
There have been plenty of studies, over the years, showing that eating just before sleeping isn't a healthy option.I didnt say to only do protein before bed.

Agreed! I have not delved into supplement or shake land. My diet is veering from "trash panda" more towards "not so trash panda"
and I will eventually get back on a healthier eating plan (Less processed, more fruit and veg, good protein). I'm mainly just happy when I get my exercise in and hope that burning a bajillion calories on a bicycle will help keep me in reasonable shape.
That’s addressed in the paper.
Get out of my fridge!I’d bet the majority of people shouldn’t be consuming protein shakes. And I’d put myself in that category too. I wish I could change my lifestyle enough to consume the protein I want through whole foods. But I haven’t put in the effort, in part because protein shakes exist.
My third protein of the day today was 1/4th the container of cottage cheese. You know, for variety from the shakes
I mix in protein bars every once in a while. I am trying to build mass so that's why I do some extra because old age isn't helping me in this regards so trying to kick start something. It does seem to help with recovery in my mind so I do it.I’d bet the majority of people shouldn’t be consuming protein shakes. And I’d put myself in that category too.

A bad habit my mom gave me is to eat cottage cheese with Frito scoop chips. It's like crack I can wipe out a big container in one sitting if I am not careful. I try to tell myself its healthy because cottage cheese but who am I fooling..
