Intermittent fasting!  

Don't eat past a certain time!  

Eat fat/fiber/protein before starchy carbs!  

Avoid sugar at all costs!   

People have a lot to say about what foods should be eaten at what times and when people should avoid eating. Let's just start with saying rule number one is "honor thy hunger." Beyond that, there are some physiological considerations for fueling physical activity and we want to share the basics with you.  

Even if you're not an athlete, or don't workout hard daily, we've got some helpful tips for timing your eating in a way that works with your lifestyle. Get a better understanding of how our bodies receive food and send signals of satiety, plus how to plan ahead to make sure you're setting your day up for success!
