Timing is everything!

When it comes to both training an nutrition timing is so important I cant even start to explain how important!!!! For example doing your cardio and weights in the morning will ramp your metabolism up more than later and night and have you burning those pounds away as the day goes on.  The same applies for what you eat and when.  So let me lay it out for you.

• Simple carbs eg sugary food, white bread pasta and rice should be consumed either first thing in the morning or after a hard training session to replace glycogen stores and create an anabolic state.
• Complex carbs eg wholegrain, brown rice, wholewheat pasta and oats throughout the day to keep you feeling full and releasing energy slowly but not the last meal before bed as this will blunt GH release at night so blunt your growth!!! Keep it light and carb free.
• Fast acting protein eg eggs, whey isolate shakes in the morning and after training to replenish protein stores ASAP.
• Slow digesting protein eg casein shakes, low fat cottage cheese and Greek yogurt at night before bed to stop catabolism (body using muscle for fuel as you ain't eating while you sleep but your still burning calories)
• Healthy fats at night.  These slow down digestion even more so your night time protein can keep you anabolic all night up to 7 hours.
