Everyone says that macros and calories in/out will determine your body comp and weight gain/loss. So why does everyone talk about post workout nutrition? Does timing matter or not? Its either one or the other.. Interested to hear opinions.

As long as you're not working out after a long, long fast, post workout nutrition is a matter of personal preference. Your muscles won't fall off without the whey shake within 40 seconds of dropping the last weightPre-exercise (and/or during-exercise) nutrient intake often has a lingering carry-over effect into the post-exercise period. Throughout the day, there's a constant overlap of meal digestion & nutrient absorption. For this reason, the effectiveness of nutrient timing does not require a high degree of precision.
The Primary Laws of Nutrient Timing
The First Law of Nutrient Timing is: hitting your daily macronutrient targets is FAR more important than nutrient timing.
The Second Law of Nutrient Timing is: hitting your daily macronutrient targets is FAR more important than nutrient timing.
Think you can, think you can't - doesn't matter. Either way, you're right.

Agreed, so why all the fuss with post workout shakes. Insulin spikes and "fast absorbing" protein... seems like everyone does itOriginally Posted by Nimm

If you train in a fasted state then it is fairly important to get something in soon after. Otherwise you are probably in the post prandial state as mentioned above and it really doesn't matter.

a) Because marketers for supplement companies can be good at their jobs. By exploiting certain studies of limited relevance - and generally inapplicable to the context of normal human nutrition - they can make a plausible-sounding argument that it's important for gains.Originally Posted by jamesbbaus
b) Because there's no harm in it, except to your wallet. A nice cold post-workout shake can hit the spot sometimes.Think you can, think you can't - doesn't matter. Either way, you're right.

My point exactly, i have never fussed over post workout nutrition. There is so much misinformation out there with all the bogus advertising going on.
