Protein after training: how much and when
Protein after training is not magic but part of your daily intake. How much you get across the day matters more than the exact minute after training.

How much
General guidance for athletes lists 1.2–2.0 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, spread over meals of about 0.3 g per kilogram, after training and every few hours (Thomas et al., 2016; Jäger et al., 2017). For a 70 kg person that is about 21 g per meal.
When
A protein meal after training is practical, but the daily total and how it is spread matter more than the exact moment. If your last meal was recent, there is no rush.
