Hey all! I have been on a IF schedule for a few months, feel amazing! 12-8 is what I’ve been doing, and I workout at 8:30am-9:30am. My question is, I’ve heard you should eat a meal after your workout. One reason for this is to replenish your glycogen stores. Obviously then k would be breaking my fast.
Do you hall have any insight as to if I should eat at 9:30, and continue on my IF 12-8, or possibly move my entire IF schedule to 9-5? Thank you so much in advance.
Until we hit a certain level of competitive or professional fitness, most of what matter is overall daily nutrition. The timing of that nutrition doesn’t particularly matter. The body is still going to synthesis protein, replenish glycogen, and such even if we don’t eat immediately afterwards.
Some folks really like to get into the weeds on this stuff, but it’s more about grinding out the last few percentages than something that absolutely must be done.
