They are most useful post workout, especially in conjuction with some carbs. This will get the protein where it needs to be ASAP. Avoid protein powders which include bulking agents (fat and sugar usually) as they are a waste of money. Instead just have something with simple carbs and no fat with you PWO protein. Say, a couple bananas. Then have a proper meal when you get home from training.
You should not be relying on protein shakes for "calories" for those, go enjoy the wonderful plethora of foods out there. T
If you are struggling to fit enough protein in your food intake (about 200g) then using protein supplement can be useful everyday.
