I don't know.

It doesn't fucking matter.

Are you talking about how protein powder shills say you have to take protein within 30 min after working out?

that's not really true. there is at least some science:

it's more accurate to say that we don't know enough yet, but to me it makes a lot of sense to eat right after exercise and I don't think you'll find any pro athletes who don't eat something after training.

I have a protein shake like 45-1 hour after my workout. My workout ends, I stretch a bit, walk home from gym, take a relaxing shower, and then have it. I've still been seeing good gains so yeah, it's a joke. As long as you have something like not more than 90-120 mins after workout you shouldn't be impacted negatively I think.

MPS and capacity for nitrogen retention towards a positive balance are increased in the immediate periods (24-48 hours) following resistance training. It's assumed these processes are more efficient the closer you consume nutrients to the workout period. Your concept of protein within 20-30 minutes of lifting isn't necessarily wrong, but it's misguided. It's a safe bet to eat a dense meal immediately following heavy training when the body is in most need of nutrients and can utilize those nutrients most efficiently.

A rapid search on the internet tells me that at the first it was considered a 2-3 hours window, but further research discovered that window to take nutrients goes up to 24 hours, take that as you will
