The timing of protein consumption relative to exercise is not critical as long as total daily protein intake is adequate.

“it's probably not that important where the training session goes within that day at this point I mean I think for many people it's just convenient to do the exercise in the morning — and and I agree of course that that's you know that's half the battle is you have to have the training stimulus to produce the effect I mean that's why people always ask us like should we ingest the protein immediately after or an hour after excite doesn't make a difference no not really because every meal following your training session will have a greater response and so also before the next session there will again three meals or four meals so it's a continuous consistent effect of training to make you respond better to the same amount of protein”

“I said, "Maybe you could go two or three times." That would probably be a much bigger benefit than I need to divide my protein three times across the day, so.”

“when it comes to protein timing the so-called anabolic window after exercise isn't as narrow as once believe consuming protein either before or after a workout is effective but also just focusing on total daily protein intake is what is most important for optimizing resistance training gains”

“this means that you're free to choose when you want to consume protein in relation to exercise so long as your total daily intake of protein is adequately High to support optimal muscle protein synthesis”
