Take the protein right after your workout as well!! This is the BEST time to take it, as well as glutamine! Nutritional uptake within your muscles is greatest right after your workouts, so feed them with a good
protein shake, along with some carbs, glutamine, creatine etc!
You can also take your protein in between your more major meals, which can actually account for a meal on it's own. This will help keep a steady flow of protein available to your muscles and help up your
daily calorie content for gaining more mass.
