Answers:
You want 30-40g protein before you workout, and then 30-40g protein right after you work out!.
In general, you need 1g protein per day, per pound of body weight to maintain!. For you, that means you should be taking in 102g protein daily to stay at your current weight!. If you want to add muscle, then bump that up to 1!.5 or 2g protein per pound!. That would mean 153g or 204g protein per day!.
Spread the protein out evenly throughout the day, every 3-4 hours!. You can only absorb 40-50g protein every 3-4 hours, so be careful not to double up or you'll just waste it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
