hello
Hey there!
The eating before is a personal thing - I can't have anything on my stomach when I work out - it just doesn't work for me. As for the protein shake - you can do it either before or after, if you are doing any free weight work, after will work better for muscle recovery.
Either way - you're back in the gym! And that's a great thing!!!!![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/thumbsup.gif)

Hello and welcome.
I subscribe to the bodyforlife (www.bodyforlife.com) theory on exercise physiology.
DO NOT eat prior to working out and DO NOT eat for one hour after working out; therefore, the optimum time for ingesting liquid protein is immediately AFTER working out. It aids in muscle recovery and keeps you in fat-burning mode.
Be sure you are using a quality protein.
All the best to you on getting back in the gym.
