So now that i'm back in school. Sometimes I just don't have time to fuck around and come home to make a shake after a work out. What if I made the shake. Kept it in my cooler, kept it cold with ice packs, and drank it after my work outs? I just need to save time during my day. Would that work? Or would the protien be useless after that long?

protein doesnt expire. it would last.

Think so. Becuase like creatine you have to drink it right after it's mixed. Or so I was told. I was just curuious if protien was like that.

I'd think it'd be ok, they have protein drinks you can buy that are already made and they aren't even refridgerated unless the store sticks them in the fridge.

If protien expires do you have to eat meat moments after you kill the animal?

You're fine. I wouldnt do it for days because it might grow something but a day a room temp isnt going to do anything to it.

By the by. Your body can only absorbe 17-22grams of protien in a single sitting. If you're taking these regularly try to stay within that as to not harm your body. OTherwise its a great tool to aid in recovery. I use them all the time for cycling.

I have been told 15-20, 20-30, 30-50, and i've heard that it'll use as much as you give it. I'm just saying. When i'm sitting in class. It'll be nice to just quickly chug in case i'm running late. Or lunch isn't for 2 hours and i'm hungry

Protein breaks down over a period of time with excessive heat to break the molecules.
With what youre talking about, youd be A-OK

nobody knows, but its safe to say don't consume your whole protein requirement in one sitting, but thats just common sense.

Yeah exactly. So i'll just consume as much as I can through out the day.



Thanks Pat:)
