in Introduce Yourself
Could you shed some light on these things I have read online please if possible?

Does it really matter if I eat 3 hours before bed time?
What if I don't eat every 3-4 hours?
Do I have to have a protein filled breakfast? What is wrong with my bran flakes, oats or Greek yogurt?
Does it matter what type of foods I eat before a workout?
Why do I have to eat something high in carbs and low in fat 45 minutes after my workout?

Thanks

    What's true is what works for YOU.

    Does it really matter if I eat 3 hours before bed time? IIFYM. If it's within your Calorie Goals probably not.
    What if I don't eat every 3-4 hours? Some people don't, it's called IF. Some people do, they like it.
    Do I have to have a protein filled breakfast? Some people are filled for longer on protein. Some people don't like it.
    What is wrong with my bran flakes, oats or Greek yogurt? If it works for you... nothing's wrong. Some people can't handle so much carbs and sugar.
    Does it matter what type of foods I eat before a workout? It depends on the workout and the plan.
    Why do I have to eat something high in carbs and low in fat 45 minutes after my workout? You really don't HAVE to do anything, it depends on the plan you're following and again, what your workout actually is.

    Thank you! :) never know what to eat before a workout which is mainly just cardio some days using weight machines! I don't really have an exact plan at the moment
