There are still, and i presume always will be, many unanswered questions in the field of sports nutrition. This is mainly because there is not one correct answer to any question.
Every athlete is different depending on what activity they are doing, what they are training for, how old they are, what their body mass is, how sensitive their stomach is....etc....etc....i could go on!! But due to all these differences is can be hard to find answers as what really relates to you personally??
Well....let me give you some basic information on protein intake that you can play around with and try out for yourselves. Any feedback would be great if you try it!
Start taking your protein for training BEFORE exercise. Many people are still focusing on the post-workout protein hit. By all means, this si still important but lets just see the difference it makes if you consume it before.... If you opt for your protein in the form of whey, take it on board an hour before training so the body has a chance to break it down for usage during training. Alternatively, take free amino acids just before you start training. Try adding some carbs to this pre-workout snack too for an anabolic insulin release. However, you may want to leave the carbs out if aiming for fat loss.
So what you waiting for....start testing out Tipton's theory in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism on pre-workout protein intake and let me know how you get on!
Happy muscle building :)
