Ignoring Nutrient Timing
Some people don’t believe in nutrient timing, but the fact of the matter is your body is going to react differently depending on way you’re consuming your meals. For instance, eating a meal with slow burning carbs before a workout is great to give you long lasting energy, while eating fast burning carbs after a workout is great for restoring your depleted glycogen levels. Having protein after a workout is also great for sustaining and building back the muscle you broke down during your training.
