most retarded question ever, here we go:
is it worth taking protein before or after cardio? if this "cardio kills gains" thing is a bluff then does it make any difference if I drink a protein shake after e.g. swimming or cycling?

Cardio kills gains is a meme made to mock fat powerlifters.
Do not drink or eat anything (but water) before cardio, you'll vomit it all.

drink it some time before or after. Doesnt matter that its protein or not but just in general.
Cardio feels better when you dont feel full.
I dont know when some of you people finally get this but it doesnt really matter at what times u get your nutrition in. Your body isnt fucking RETARDED.
Humans didnt survive in the fucking ice ages because their body needed food at certain times.
We are incredible efficient machines that use up what we get whenever we need it.
Dont fall for all the uneducated retarded memes that just g ot designed to get your shekels.

The importance of getting protein in right after workout is hugely overstated, and it's for strenght training anyway. If you're doing cardio and don't want to lose gains, then you should eat something to make up for the lost calories though. Carbs rather than protein too.

so the main idea would be that I want to lose weight. A lot. Around 15 kgs. But if I drink protein mixed with water it's not such a huge calorie intake, right?

I run a lot (militaryfag), and eating before running will not help your body digest, l'd recommend eating 1 hour before running, that way you won't feel like puking after running a mile

I didn't make it clear before, but I meant protein powder mixed with water.

If you want to lose weight then your diet is way more important than exercise. Track your calories and eat under your TDEE. Exercise can help by effectively increasing your TDEE. Protein shakes aren't necessary, they're mostly a cash sink, but if you like them, then it's fine to drink them as a relatively low-calorie snack.

If it kills my hunger, then I take it after swimming. I get really hungry e.g. after 45 mins of constant swimming but I don't want to ruin the outcome by eating 10 mins after the workout.
>>35305365
I usually drink it after, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't shit/puke 10 minutes after drinking it
