If you are just trying to stay in shape, go for it, protien is something that the body needs and taking it after a workout or cardio training will be something that your body can use.

sorry, but this is incorrect. you're body doesn't use protein as an energy source until blood suger has been nearly depleted. marathon runners have to worry about it. normal exercisers do not. protein is only a primary source of energy when starving, because your body wants to save fat to use to maintain life long term.
