Hi all,
Which of the following feeding schedule do you prefer and why?
For many years I've been following a schedule more or less like the option 1. Now I’m more tempted to follow option 2 in order to separate my protein intake at least 3h apart to maximize MPS. Isn't it a better option. If protein foods should be separated at least by 3h to maximize MPS then option 2 stimulates protein synthesis 3 times and option 1 only 2 times.
What do you think?
Option 1:
4 hours pre workout = solid food (carbs and protein)
1h pre-workout = protein shake
Intra workout = BCAA (or BCAA + EAA)
0 – 30 minute Post workout= Protein (or protein + carbs)
2h post workout = solid food (carbs and protein)
Option 2:
3 hours pre workout = solid food (carbs and protein)
Intra workout = whey hydolisate + BCAA + carbs
3h post workout = solid food (carbs and protein)
