You don't need to, and in fact you very likely will not notice a difference. But it is a good source of protein and it is important to have energy (which would of course also come from carbs) before your workout. It would probably better to have the whey immediately afterwards however.

No, not needed both times. It is better to take whey protein after the workout. After a workout is when your muscles would need protein to repair and grow. So providing a whey protein shake within half an hour of workout helps.

Prior to the workout have a good high calorie diet. This would give you strength to workout properly. Include bananas, glucose and milk in your pre-workout diet to have sufficient calories for the workout.

Yes. Also as weird as this may sound, if you are working out roughly 2-5 times a week. It is good to eat/drink 1L of banana milkshake, banana protein bar. Within mid workout, have a chicken & bacon sandwich, with either monster munch, or mini cheddars.

Most athletes prefer to not eat before exercising. Though drinking fluids is often important before and during exercise.

You could take it before, but it's much better to take it afterwards so your body has some protein to help rebuild damaged muscle tissue.

Before working out you should consume some type of carbohydrate to provide energy for your body.

When should you take whey protein before or after workout?

For me ,as a body builder, i will recommend taking it not more than half an hour after your workout, make sure the body parts you aiming that day are really exhausted before you drink. If you want for higher recovery , take it in the morning straight away after you wake up, as on that time your body protein is the least, replenishing it helps on repair on muscle. But taking after work out is a must (: Nick
