A little something about Meal Timing that I wrote up for a friend a while ago, thought Id post it here as some people may benefit from it (or at least open their eyes to different concepts). Meal timing isnt that important, base it on your individual wants/needs/routine etc. In regards to eating pre-workout: Do you feel better training fasted or with some food in you? Keep in mind that individual meals are not as important as your overall diet. Questions to ask yourself may include: Am I eating enough fruits and vegetables? Do I drink enough water? Do I consume enough fiber? Do I take in adequate amounts of protein/carbs/fats? How do my total calories look? Am I in a caloric deficit or surplus? For my goals, do I want to be in a caloric deficit or surplus? Quick fixes: - Eat 2+ vegetables and 2+ fruits a day. - Drink 3+ liters of water a day. - Incorporate high fiber foods into your diet (eg. Wholegrain/brown bread, pasta, rice, beans etc.) - Switch to low fat alternatives if you want to spare the calories (eg. Low fat milk/cheese/cream) - Switch to low sugar alternatives (diet soda, use stevia in place for sugar etc) - Look at food labels or use MyFitnessPal to get a better understanding of the nutritional value of foods. - Cut down on deep fried or extremely fatty foods (you dont have to completely eliminate them, but just know their value) For anyone that is looking for a coach that follows a Scientific/Evidence-backed approach to Fitness and Nutrition, definitely check out Team NPS, or feel free to private message myself - links below: Natural Physique Sciences naturalphysiquesciences/ Hope this helps!
