Nutrient timing


Nutrient timing is a sports dieting concept that incorporates time as the missing dimension in superior muscular development. This concept represents a change over the previous school of thought that focused on protein loading without emphasizing the synchronicity between eating and exercising.

Proper nutrient timing takes into account two dimensions that directly correlate to performance:

Nutrient timing will enhance performance of exercise, competition, and daily life expectations. Timing of when to eat your macro nutrients (carbs, fats, and protein) will enable you to use food as your fuel. The amount of each nutrient plays a role in performance & recovery. Recovery is essential to keep going in daily routines, competitions, and fitness in general. Fueling recovery & fitness will be done by using the timing of nutrients around a performance aspect of life. This timing is not essential to good performance, but it is a small detail that should not be looked over if you are looking to gain strength & become leaner.
