Nutrient Timing: Metabolic Optimization for Health, Performance, and Recovery

by Chad M. Kerksick (Editor)

Overview

Sports nutrition has evolved beyond what to eat and how much to eat to now include the question of when to eat. A hot topic in sports nutrition, nutrient timing is a dietary concept that takes into account time as a missing dimension in athletic performance and recovery. Not only is the consumption of nutrients in ideal amounts and proportions impo
