I normally take 5g protein pre- and intra-workout, then 25g or so postworkout, followed up with high-protein foods (and a high protein to carb ratio) for the next 20 hours. I drink an additional protein shake the night of and/or morning after the workout. After that, my calories come from roughly 25% protein, 35% fat, 40% carbs until my next workout.
But if I had a really dynamite workout and I still have muscle soreness 2+ days later, is it wise to keep drinking a little extra protein? Normally the "Growth" phase is 4-20 hours postworkout (when a high protein to carb ratio is favorable), but if muscle soreness implies growth, should I keep taking extra protein while sore?
Thanks for any tips.
