Drink your whey protein shake AFTER a workout. The reason this is so beneficial is because whey is a form of protein that is absorbed the FASTEST.
Fast absorption ensures that protein synthesis begins immediately and cortisol is suppressed. Cortisol is a hormone responsible for eating away muscle when the body is placed under stress (like working out).

Protein drinks can be taken anytime after the 30 minutes of the work-out. Before and in between the work-out you can have small quantities of carbohydrate-drinks, it gives you more energy and also stops you from getting tired quickly.

After. It's too possible to get cramps if you eat before exercising. Good question deserves a star!! :)
