7 h. ago Cress to impress: the peppery, unsung hero ingredient | Kitchen aide

36 h. ago Is it true that you should eat protein immediately after working out?

Consuming protein within an hour of finishing your gym session is recommended, but don’t neglect regular meals‘This is one of those rare bits of TikTok fitness advice with a lot of truth behind it,” says Bethan Crouse, performance nutritionist at Loughborough University. “Sometimes it’s taken a bit too literally, though! You see people chugging protein drinks as they’re scanning out of their gym.”Crouse recommends the athletes she works with consume 20-30g of protein within 30-60 minutes of finishing a resistance training session. “The act of exercising our muscles increases the breakdown of muscle proteins,” she says. “In order to restore, or hopefully improve them – and get gains such as increased muscle mass or strength – we have to consume amino acids in protein.” Continue reading...
