when do YOU take a protein supplement?

[Inchamery]

For those of you that resort to protein supplements or add a protein supplement to an already protein enriched diet, what time of the day are you taking it? Pre or post workout? How many times? Before Bed? How much? How about on non training days?

Easy enough question...

On cut (currently):
8am - if I get sick of eggs for the day
6pm - post w/o
10pm - before bed

On bulk:
8am - with breakfast
3pm - semi-pre w/o
6pm - post w/o
10pm - before bed

If I know I'm lacking that day because I don't have any great protein sources in the fridge, I'll drink a shake as or with a meal. So tasty... Yet finding nutrition from food is always the best way to do it. It's just that eating 350-400g protein/day can be difficult on a budget.

Meal 1-40g whey
PostWO-30g whey+60g wms
Before Bed-40g casein

If I am crunched for time between training sessions or if I am slightly nauseated from training.

i like to mix a half serving pre-workout and a full serving post. I like having some protein in me during my training.

Mostly pre and post workouts, sometimes before bed or upon waking. Depends on how I feel.

Depends on how busy I am and how much chicken I have left over. Usually 2 times a day but sometimes up to 4.
