Myoplex bars and powder can be used any time you need a meal replacement. It is important to get a good source of carbohydrate and protein within 30 minutes of your workout so Myoplex may be a convenient way for you to do that.  Both EAS Reload and EAS CLA capsules need to be taken three times a day. The CLA should be taken with meals and one serving of Reload should be taken after your workout.
