Ep 9: (Part 2/2) Is there a ”window” for nutrition to maximize your benefits from your workout? (w/ Mark Huelsing)

Popular idea 2/2: you should get a good load of protein in within 60-minutes of completing your workout to maximize the benefit of your workout and muscle growth. 

 

That's how the story reads at least...

 

This week, Mark and I look at this on a deeper level to answer "is that really true?".  We look at: 

• How narrow is that "window"? 
• How does it differ for someone who fasts vs someone who doesn't?
• What are the key pieces of ACTUALLY stopping muscle breakdown and encouraging growth of the muscle?
• What are the nutrients we should focus on to encourage growth of the muscle, restoration of energy stores,  and getting the most out of our workout?
