after cardio

[nelly]

Is it necessary to have a protein shake like when weight training?

Necessary? I'd say no - but it wouldn't hurt. If you do cardio let's say first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, then i'd say yes it's necessary, to minimize catabolism.

thanks for the reply brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would take it either 1 hr before or immediately after workout. I try not to eat anything or take any protein drinks less than 1 hr before or I get the burps.

If you want to lose muscle don't eat anything after a cardio session, works like a charm.
