    the best time to work out is when you have time.... but i prefer between 12-4 to be in the gym, or whenever i have 1-2 carb meals

    A post workout shake plus one meal before bed is perfectly fine. I would keep it in the evenings.

    test levels are highest in the morning, and you will also have more energy in the morning. I would go mornings.
