1st Training Log

Sometimes I have to eat out and try to find the best option on the menu. Other times it is a time constraint. I always train mid morning would it be better just to try and cram as much in at breakfast and then just have my snacks and a larger dinner?

I don’t like to use the word ā€œbetterā€ here, but it may be a more viable solution if lunch itself is more of a net negative vs a positive. In order of importance, total nutrients trumps nutrient timing. There is a thought that it’s better to have consistent boluses of protein throughout the day for protein synthesis vs large lumps of them, but the total impact of the difference between the two approaches is most likely not perceivable for the majority of people.

I like the idea of taking a lunch meal and dividing it between breakfast and dinner. For myself, I much more enjoy larger meals vs smaller ones: it’s a more satisfying experience for me to walk away feeling gorged and then not hungry for the rest of my day. It also frees up my schedule more. I use my lunch time to get in a walk instead.

However, if this approach ends up making you so hungry you end up binging when you eat, it’s less than ideal.
