Meal timing and weight loss

Scheduling your meal time is really an important point that helps you in regulating your weight, fat loss and building muscle too. In addition, nutrition experts and dietitians rely on this strategy as a way to help people get sticked to their diet plan.

Matching between your meal time and exercise:

Athletes always drink protein shakes after their workout directly as a way of macronutrient partioning

The partioning of your food is a word describing the shceduling of your protein intake and carbohydrate that may influence where the nutrients are used in your body. This partioning helps you in regulating insulin level and thus fat loss and building muscles.

People who practice nutrient timing believe that consuming specific nutrients at specific times helps promote insulin regulation for fat loss and muscle building. For example, pre-meal and post-meal are really important to make glucose available for your muscles and provide adequate energy to help your body in fat burning and preserving your muscle mass.

Some research find that timing your macronutrients is not really important what is more important is. "Researchers concluded "high-quality protein dosed at 0.4–0.5 g/kg of lean body mass at both pre- and post-exercise is a simple, relatively fail-safe general guideline." But they added that when you choose to consume carbs is less important than simply meeting your daily carb intake goals."

Nutrient timing versus nutrient balance:

Experts says that balanced diet is more important than timing itself. But for me i see both are really important. Scheduling your eating while consuming your balanced diet can be really helpful for weight managment and loss. Timing really matters when your patients are athletic rather than people who trying only to loose weight. Those who only aim for normal weight, timing is not really important for them. Finally, timing matters upon your goals.

Meal Timing for Weight Loss and Weight Management:

For weight loss and weight managment, i see that timing matters specially on breakfast and your dinner. Avoid late night meals and starting your daily with a boost breakfast like oatmeal and milk may helps you in reaching your goals while you are still following a well balanced diet.
