Description

Meal timing can be an incredibly helpful tool to improve both your performance and recovery.

It's not the MOST important thing when it comes to your food, but it can be incredibly helpful - especially for BUSY people who struggle to get all of their necessary calories to fuel their training and recovery.

Here are some strategies to help you improve your meal timing so you can increase your performance and expedite recovery.

Enjoy!

EDITS:

• I said that 50% of people who break a hip over the age of 65 die within a year. I heard that somewhere and while some studies might point that high, 20-30% is probably more accurate. That's still an incredibly high death rate that would arguably put a lack of muscle as a bigger death risk than smoking in the elderly, but 50% seems to be overstated.
  
• Right around the 25 minute mark, the microphone glitched for about 2.5 seconds. I removed the dead air so it sounds like a bad edit - but that's what happened.
  
• Treat FIBER like fat in regards to timing.
  
  Spread it throughout your day.
  
  Most people see huge health benefits from fiber.
  
  Do not have fiber directly before a workout.
