How long?

How long does Protein stay in the body?
Paticularily egg whites and whye protein. Simply because these are my pre workout meal... yet because of this when I try and have my post workout shake (whey protein/dextrose in milk) I feel very sick and cant finish it.

I took it about half an hour before my workout so an hour between them. Could I take it earlier to keep a high amino acid count in the blood and eat some solid food inbetween to stop the sick feeling of loads of milk?

Whey and egg whites are fast and medium speed absorbed respectively. Whey I believe is 30mins - 1.5hours, egg white is 1 hour - 3 hours.

why you having milk in your post workout shake??? all it gives you is more calories in the form of sugar! if your using dextrose just add a little extra and mix with water!

eggs arent great pre-training... ideally you want some carbs in about 45 minutes before training and then some whey or BCAAs just before you train!

before training i have 150g sweet potato 45 mins beforehand and a protein shake just before i train.

then after training i have a protein shake mixed with 60g maltodextrin in water!

Am curious here regarding the prote shake. What is the benefit prior to training, I go for it after training and then a couple of hours later but why before? What are the benefits.
