In previous blogs, I’ve touched upon what to eat to meet your health and fitness goals. But did you know nutrient timing is just as important? Nutrient timing strategies are based on how the body handles different types of food at different times. One of the most important nutrient timing principles is that it’s best to eat most non-fruit and veggie carbohydrates during and after exercise (typically earlier in the day).
TIMING BASED ON YOUR GOAL
Different people have different goals. One size does not fit all. With that being said, read below to figure out when is best for you to eat so you can reach your fitness goals.
Not only is fueling your body with the right kinds of food important, but so is the timing.

With that said, personally I’m the type of person needs to start my day by eating breakfast right away or else I get “hangry” (if you’re not familiar with that term…. hungry + angry = hangry…. You can ask my family, it’s not pretty when it happens). Then, there are people like my husband who can wait until lunch time to eat. Honestly, it’s a matter of personal preference. Stick with what you do. Creating a healthy, sustainable lifestyle is all about making small adjustments to what you’re already doing.
