I have been working out at the gym for approx 2 months now and recently i ordered some 'whey protein concentrate 80'. Currently, i am trying to lose some fat so have changed my routine at the gym to incorporate approx 20-30 mins on the exercise bikes at a lower heart rate AFTER doing my usual weight training (i have read that you burn fat quicker after a weight-workout as opposed to before). Therefore my typical routine, which i do 3 times a week, consiststs of:
45-60mins weight training
20-30mins exercise bikes at 'fat burning' heart rate.

My question is this, should i take the protein after the weight training? (as it could be close to an hours workout without any protein) Or should i wait till after the entire gym session (weights AND exercise bike) to take my protein?

Thanks for any help given guys :beer1:
