I've actually read one of those studies.

I feels all smart now.

Thanks, Sara!

Nice to read a good plain-language summary of research written BY the researcher. Interesting read, thanks!

Just saw Brad post this on facebook and thought it would be good to share it.

"Brad Schoenfeld >John Meadows: Thanks John. I have the highest regard for you as well. A few important points here. First, our study does NOT imply that there is no benefit to nutrient timing. Rather, it shows that the "anabolic window of opportunity" is not as narrow as what has been promoted by some researchers. Alan and I published a review on the topic where we surmised that the window is probably around 4-6 hours *around* a workout, with the precise duration depending on when you at a pre-workout meal -- the closer the pre-workout meal is consumed to the exercise bout, the longer the window. I'd also note that there have not been any studies carried out on elite bodybuilders. Moreover, the measures for estimating hypertrophy may lack the sensitivity to detect small changes that could be meaningful to those seeking to optimize muscle development. Bottom line is that there are gaps in the literature. I am currently working on a study that will help to address these gaps and hopefully provide clarity to the issue. "

Very interesting and a good read.

Thanks for posting that, Sara. I train after I get home from work. Sometimes I'm trying to chug a protein drink right before I eat dinner, thinking I've got to get that protein in w/i 40 minutes. Now I know it can wait
