Nutrient timing is a sports dieting concept that incorporates time as the missing dimension in superior muscular development. This concept represents a change over the previous school of thought that focused on protein loading without emphasizing the synchronicity between eating and exercising.
Proper nutrient timing takes into account two dimensions that directly correlate to performance: 1) the consumption of the substrates in ideal proportions and 2) the timing between exogenous fueling and exercise. When the right substrates are present at the ideal times, the result is superior performance and growth.
