About Nutrient Timing

[Koral]

I imagine some of you have read the classic text "Nutrient timing" from John Ivy or at least I'm pretty sure that some of our nutrition pre/post workout routine is really influenced by the theories exposed in the book.
Perhaps you'll find interesting this review of the literature on the subject 10 years after the becoming popular of the nutrient timing idea.

I've found the paper really interesting. In the conclusions you'll find some suggestion on the pre/post workout nutrition based on the actual state of the scientific knowledge.
Hope you'll find it useful

Thanks for sharing! My takeaway is that I should continue to have protein shakes immediately after my workouts, since I typically workout in a fasted state (early morning before breakfast, or at night after lunch but before dinner) and don't particularly like climbing/exercising right after consuming a shake.

You're welcome!

The other interesting topic is about the carbs. That's my takeaway about:
According to this review there's no general consensus on the positive effect of the canonical post workout hi-gi carbs supplementation... but the main metric used to evaluate the effect is the anabolic effect of them.
Despite that I think is not arguable that after-workout the insulin sensitivity of skeletal muscle is much higher. Therefore, assuming your diets includes carbs, it's probably the right moment to assume them. Both if you want to: restore muscular glycogen synthesizing as less fat as possible, try to kick your metabolism or accelerate your short term recover time.
In the end I think Ivy's "Nutrient timing" book is still now days an interesting text and moreover is taking in account some more supplements then just the prots and carbs topic
