If you want to optimize your growth try to follow these guidelines, specially at crucial moments:
- Breakfast time. Due your body has experience 8 long hours of fast. You need fast absorving protein as whey protein powder or just egg whites.
- 2 Hours before training use chicken breasts or whey concentrate protein.
- Just after the workout use a mix of fast carbohidrates, isolated whey protein powder plus l-glutamine and creatine. If you prefer a predesign drink, I personally use Nutrabolics Anabolic Window.
- Before going to bed use a slow absorving high quality protein source as cottage cheese of micellar casein protein. It would be useful adding some essential fatty acids to slow down the absortion rate. My personal choice is CytoSport Muscle Milk.
