Protein
is good with each meal except one
Protein
is important to a healthy body and should be part
of practically every meal. The only exception: Any
meal, drink or snack eaten within the hour before
exercising.
Those
pre-workout meals should contain primarily carbohydrates
("fuel"), which will maximize your muscles'
energy stores. Having more "fuel" in your
muscles will allow you to work out longer and stronger,
thereby improving your muscle development and overall
performance. One reason you should avoid protein
during this time period is that protein in meals
slow down the absorption of carbohydrates which
you will need to fuel your workout.
The
post-workout meal is a different story. In addition
to carbohydrate, this meal should contain protein
to help your muscles become stronger, more toned
and/or more aerobic.
