Anyone interested in learning more about this topic should read Nutrient Timing: The Future of Sports Nutrition It's well written and only like 120 pages. It helped me a lot in learning when to take my protein and eat.

u/JohnnyHammerstickz · 2 pointsr/steroids

Its definitely worth buying. u/Nimbah u/satthereonashelf Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote it for fuck's sake. Get the updated one though if you do.

The trick is to not copy it word for word, but to study his methods and techniques and adapt your training and nutrition to his ideas. Figure out a way to use them in a way that works for you, because what works for one person might not work for someone else.

Another couple good ones I like:

Hey man, if you're up for it then nutrient timing is a great read. It answers all your questions about carbs and insulin as they pertain to muscles. You have to keep an open mind because some of their conclusions are contradictory to common accepted knowledge, but they have the science on their side. It blew me away!

Dr. John Ivy's Nutrient Timing: http://www.amazon.com/Nutrient-Timing-Future-Sports-Nutrition/dp/1591201411/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452351091&sr=8-1&keywords=nutrient+timing

This book is one of the most accepted texts in sports nutrition. Dr. Ivy has many, many moons of research that completely eliminate the need for any belief. Evidence, friend. Evidence.

According to the Nutrient Timing System, the ideal recovery beverage consists of the following:

  • 13-15 g whey protein
  • 40-50 g high-glycemic CHOs
  • 1-2 g each of leucine and glutamine
  • 60-120 mg vitamin C
  • 80-400 units vitamin E

    I stick very closely to this because 1) they take a lot of care to quote a lot of research, a lot of which comes from the University of Texas and Vanderbilt University research departments and 2) I've had outstanding results with it. My "antidote" is 20 g whey, 12 oz milk and 4 oz frozen mixed berries and that's pretty close.

    But I'm lazy, so generally, I'll wash down a combo capsule with 500 mg vit C and 400 units vit E with 20 g whey in water followed by a soda rich with delicious HFCS.

    The amazing thing is that, before I started that, I got 2 colds/year, every year. Since, I get sick once evry 2-3 years and it's generally so mild I hardly notice it.

Theories on nutrition are numerous and it's worth your time to do some reading on sports nutrition, with a training schedule as dense as yours. IMO the two most important things are: as an athlete, make sure your [daily protein intake] (https://www.strongerbyscience.com/athlete-protein-intake/) is on point (1.5g/kg/bw is ok, 1g/lb is better), and favor more carbs [near the exercise window.] (https://www.amazon.com/Nutrient-Timing-Future-Sports-Nutrition/dp/1591201411)

If your muscles seem to start to run out of glycogen during training, it's probably because you are not refueling muscle glycogen stores adequately between training sessions. If you get hypoglycemic during training, it's probably because you did not eat enough solid carb/protein food 2-3 hours before (I find that light snacking like bananas or protein shakes 1 hour before also works, if you can't get a full meal in sooner.)

10.5 hours/week is a pretty high density training schedule so you need post-training carbs to [put that glycogen back] (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3905295/) into your muscles. Generally a good idea to get a protein/carbs meal in 2 to 3 hours before training if you can.

For water, about 1 ounce of water per kg of bodyweight per day is a common base recommendation but I find that on training days that is more like 1.5oz/kg.

As a heavyweight, I solve this somewhat complex problem by just eating all day, every day. Hope this helps.

Good and informational read in response to your question: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1591201411?pc_redir=1405400948&robot_redir=1

If I remember correctly, it's either a 3:1 or 2:1 ratio as far as protein and sugar ratio goes.

I just bought starting strength and I am starting it next week. Do i really need to eat 6000 calories? I'm 5'9" male who weighs 147 lbs and has ~11.6% body fat as measured by a caliper. The Cunningham equation says I need 2800 calories, while mark says the minimum needed is 3500 calories. I'm really confused about nutrition. Every one says something different. Also, have you heard of nutrient based timing?

when squatting and deadlift ing what am I supposed to do with my abs?

u/swancher · 1 pointr/Fitness

I've read and learned a bunch from Nutrient Timing and also a book titled Thrive (which is a vegan perspective on fitness nutrition).

u/HelloJerk · 1 pointr/Fitness

This is the book from where the idea of "anabolic window" comes. Based on their research, Ivy and Portman recommend a 3:1 to 4:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein consumed within 45 minutes after a workout. The problem with their research is that no one else has been able to duplicate their findings.

Must-reads for people searching for in-depth material (that still remains 100% relevant) on nutrition.

  • Nutrient Timing: The Future of Sports Nutrition
  • Ketogenic Diet

    Nutrient is a short and compact book discussing nutrient consumption and it's timing. It introduces the pre- peri- and postworkout nutrition info.

    Ketogenic diet by Lyle McDonald, on the other hand is a more massive book (couple hundred pages. Half of the book discusses the ketogenic side of diet and nutrition and half of it consists of nutrition's effect on your body (consume X and Y happens in your body).

    I read ketogenic diet couple years ago, even though I didn't even consider going on ketogenic diet. Along the Nutrient timing it's the best fitness/nutrition book I've ever read. Everything is backed up with scientific research but it's still written so non-academic/scientific people can still read it.

    Still got Nutrient timing in the bookshelf and Ketogenic diet as pdf.
u/betterfretter · 1 pointr/bodybuilding

The idea behind a recovery shake is that you drink something with a 1 to 3 or 1 to 4 ratio of protein to carbs after your workout when your body's insulin sensitivity is very high. This gives you a big insulin boost and puts your body into recovery and growth mode. It literally flicks a switch. You're going to be insulin sensitive after your lifting and probably a little more so after your cardio, so I'd just drink it after your cardio.

A separate issue is whether you're getting enough calories and your macros are at the levels they need to be. What I mean is that you need to make sure that your muscles are fully fueled up before you lift and then run and that you're getting enough protein and carbs. If you're calorie deficient or getting too little protein, that run is really going to impact your lifting growth and recovery. So make sure you consider that too. The recovery shake is really just the thing that throws the recover-mode switch.

I highly recommend this book. Everything you need to know is in there and it has solid science to back its claims. Better than someone saying yes or no without backing their claims.

http://www.amazon.com/Nutrient-Timing-Future-Sports-Nutrition/dp/1591201411

Here is a post I made. Inside I talk about the protocol these scientists recommend.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/zoqok/switched_up_my_diet_for_8_weeks_heres_the_results/

>Currently I consume 10g of whey protein with 25g of high glycemic carbs during workout and 25g whey protein with 45g of high glycemic carbs post workout.
This protocol (slightly modified) was obtained from "Nutrient Timing: The Future of Sports Nutrition" by John Ivy, PhD. and Robert Portman, PhD. I highly recommend this book and supplement protocol because it increased my workout intensity and decreased recovery time. I am currently using fruit juice for the high glycemic carbs but soon will be switching to a 50/50 blend of maltodextrin and dextrose to capitalize on a greater insulin response as recommended by the book. Another nutrition resource that I utilized was "Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook". Both books cite numerous peer reviewed scientific research to back claims => legit.
