Does a post-workout protein shake make sense for a 30-year-old male who is metabolically healthy, has years of lifting experience, and is trying to balance muscle building with a time-restricted feeding window (fasting for approximately 14-18 hours)? He typically eats two protein-rich meals a day with no snacks in-between and easily meets/surpasses the recommended total daily intake of protein (1.6-2.2g/kg). However, due to his schedule, he has to work out (resistance train) in the early morning and skips breakfast.
