Nutrition Timing

When you eat matters — but not as much as you've been told

Nutrient timing is one of the most marketed and most misunderstood topics in sports nutrition. The "anabolic window" — the idea that you have a narrow post-workout period to consume protein or the session is wasted — has been both overhyped and completely dismissed. The truth is more nuanced and more useful.

When you eat does matter — particularly for active adults managing body composition, training performance, and recovery. But the magnitude of the effect is smaller than most assume, and the practical implications are simpler than most advice suggests.

This course gives you the research-backed framework: what timing actually affects, to what degree, and how to structure meals in a way that works with your real life rather than against it.

• Active adults who want to optimize their nutrition without obsessing over it
• Athletes and recreational exercisers who have heard conflicting advice about meal timing
• Anyone experimenting with intermittent fasting and wondering if it's helping or hurting
• Trainers who want clear, evidence-based answers to client timing questions
