Excellent question. The answer is no, you're not wasting your protein. Your body needs a certain amount of grams of protein a day in order to build and/or maintain it's muscle. Granted on the days you workout you need a little bit more, which is the protein your body needs right after a workout. You want about 1 gram per pound of your body weight. So if you weigh 120 pounds. That's 120 grams of protein a day. Make sense?
