When to Eat

Save Tip

Eating is essential to daily activities. The question is, when and how much to eat. The two most important times to eat are in the morning and directly following a workout. These are the two times of the day when we need the most amount of nutrition. The morning is important because we've just spent 7 to 8 hours sleeping, so our stores of energy are depleted. It really is the most important meal. When you workout, you've just burned all this energy and your body needs to get a jump start on recovering. Even just a quick shake can give you that boost.
How much to eat is a little more difficult. This is usually determined by the level of our activity as well as the current state of our body. Try to find a good bmr calculator to figure out what would be the optimal amount of calories to take in each day. Most professionals are in agreement that eating about 5 meals a day is best. Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner in smaller amounts while including a couple snacks in between. Good snackfoods are nuts, fruits, veggies, or even a small protein shake.
Hope this gives you a starting point for breaking that code we all know as nutrition.
