    Please provide sources for said timing, I'd like to look into this.

    Uhh.. did you not see where she said "MAX!"? Isn't that enough?

    I find it important to get in some nutrition to refuel your muscles after a workout to maximize your results. I've heard you should eat no later than 2 hours after a workout, but I like to do it within 30 mins, as I feel that has given me the best results,
    Here's a great article that tells you more about what you should eat before and after your workouts according to whether you are doing cardio or strength training

    MTR and GLUT activation. If you don't know what these are, read about them. Then decide if nutrient timing is still irrelevant.

    people keep pushing what may help 0.1% as what should be done, if you goal it to be a pro bodybuilder timing matters a little, for the general active population it will not make a lick of a difference in fat loss, muscle gain, recover time etc.

    Or go look up how longer after eating nutrients from the meal are still being released into the blood. I.E. If you eat a meal 1 hr before working out, guess what is still happening after the workout is over.

    You're on the opposite side of the relationship. MTR and GLUT activation are not about nutrient availability, they're about the cell's receptiveness to nutrients.

    Right but the nutrients from my pre workout eating are already available meaning I don't need to get more nutrients in my gut within 10 seconds of my last rep. I eat all day long, so the nutrients are always flowing through my body. Usually by the time I work out, I have already consumed 140g+ protein that day.

    Can you show me studies where long term application of post workout protein (where protein intake is adequate to begin with) results in a significant difference in net LBM gains?

    ARG. This comes up so often. It ABSOLUTELY does NOT matter when you eat so long as you get everything you need at some point during the day.

    I don't know if that exact study exists. I don't see how anyone could conduct such an experiment and maintain controls appropriate for a scientific study. The CBL book explains, with thorough peer reviewed scientific research backing, MTR, GLUT, and several other nutrient timing related subjects.

    Apparently that book is the final word on everything.

    No, but it's the most thoroughly researched and interesting piece (EDIT: on building muscle and cutting fat) I've read. That's why I recommend it and I've had good results implementing the program.

    My nutritionist/dietician says within 30 minutes - about 200 calories and 8-10gms of protein. I don't know if she was talkinga bout everyone or me at the level Im at now. But i just makes sense to me to have some cals and some protein afte a workout - to help the body rebuild, and to help fuel the metabolism.
