liver, skeletal muscle and adipose give rise to rhythms in macronutrient metabolism, appetite regulation and the components of energy balance such that our bodies can align the periodic delivery of nutrients with ongoing metabolic requirements.

The timing of meals both in absolute terms i. relative to clock time and in relative terms i. relative to other daily events is therefore relevant to metabolism and health. Experimental manipulation of feeding-fasting cycles can advance understanding of the effect of absolute and relative timing of meals on metabolism and health.

Such studies have extended the overnight fast by regular breakfast omission and revealed that morning fasting can alter the metabolic response to subsequent meals later in the day, whilst also eliciting compensatory behavioural responses i.

reduced physical activity. Similarly, restricting energy intake via alternate-day fasting also has the potential to elicit a compensatory reduction in physical activity, and so can undermine weight-loss efforts i.

to preserve body fat stores. First, the protein source in the Hoffman et al. study was mostly a collagen hydrolysate i. Finally, the study participants in the Andersen et al. More recently, Schoenfeld and colleagues [ ] published the first longitudinal study to directly compare the effects of ingesting 25 g of whey protein isolate either immediately before or immediately after each workout.

This study is significant as it is the first investigation to attempt to compare pre versus post-workout ingestion of protein. The authors raised the question that the size, composition, and timing of a pre-exercise meal may impact the extent to which adaptations are seen in these studies.

However, a key limitation of this investigation is the very limited training volumes these subjects performed. The total training sessions over the week treatment period was 30 sessions i. One would speculate that the individuals who would most likely benefit from peri-workout nutrition are those who train at much higher volumes.

For instance, American collegiate athletes per NCAA regulations NCAA Bylaw 2. Thus, the average college athlete trains more in two weeks than most subjects train during an entire treatment period in studies in this category. In one of the only studies to use older participants, Candow and colleagues [ 15 ] assigned 38 men between the ages of 59—76 years to ingest a 0.

While protein administration did favorably improve resistance-training adaptations, the timing of protein before or after workouts did not invoke any differential change.

An important point to consider with the results of this study is the sub-optimal dose of protein approximately 26 g of whey protein versus the known anabolic resistance that has been demonstrated in the skeletal muscle of elderly individuals [ ]. In this respect, the anabolic stimulus from a g dose of whey protein may not have sufficiently stimulated muscle protein synthesis or have been of appropriate magnitude to induce differences between conditions.

Clearly, more research is needed to determine if a greater dose of protein delivered before or after a workout may exert an impact on adaptations seen during resistance training in an elderly population. Limited studies are available that have examined the effect of providing protein throughout an acute bout of resistance exercise, particularly studies designed to explicitly determine if protein administration during exercise was more favorable than other times of administration.

However, when examined over the course of 12 weeks, the increases in fiber size seen after ingesting a solution containing 6 g of EAA alone was less than when it was combined with carbohydrate [ 96 ].

The post-exercise time period has been aggressively studied for its ability to heighten various training outcomes. While a large number of acute exercise and nutrient administration studies have provided multiple mechanistic explanations for why post-exercise feeding may be advantageous [ , , , , ], other studies suggest this study model may not be directly reflective of adaptations seen over the course of several weeks or months [ ].

As highlighted throughout the pre-exercise protein timing section, the majority of studies that have examined some aspect of post-exercise protein timing have done so while also administering an identical dose of protein immediately before each workout [ 16 , , , ].

These results, however, are not universal as Hoffman et al. Of note, participants in the Hoffman study were all highly-trained collegiate athletes who reported consuming a hypoenergetic diet. Candow et al. As mentioned previously, it is possible that the dose of protein may not have been an appropriate amount to properly stimulate anabolism.

In this respect, a small number of studies have examined the impact of solely ingesting protein after exercise. As discussed earlier, Tipton and colleagues [ ] used an acute model to determine changes in MPS rates when a g bolus of whey protein was ingested immediately before or immediately after a single bout of lower-body resistance training.

MPS rates were significantly, and similarly, increased under both conditions. Until recently, the only study that examined the effects of post-exercise protein timing in a longitudinal manner was the work of Esmarck et al.

In this study, 13 elderly men average age of 74 years consumed a small combination of carbohydrates 7 g , protein 10 g and fat 3 g either immediately within 30 min or 2 h after each bout of resistance exercise done three times per week for 12 weeks.

Changes in strength and muscle size were measured, and it was concluded that ingesting nutrients immediately after each workout led to greater improvements in strength and muscle cross-sectional area than when the same nutrients were ingested 2 h later.

While interesting, the inability of the group that delayed supplementation but still completed the resistance training program to experience any measurable increase in muscle cross-sectional area has led some to question the outcomes resulting from this study [ 5 , ]. Further and as discussed previously with the results of Candow et al.

Schoenfeld and colleagues [ ] published results that directly examined the impact of ingesting 25 g of whey protein immediately before or immediately after bouts of resistance-training. All study participants trained three times each week targeting all major muscle groups over a week period, and the authors concluded no differences in strength and hypertrophy were seen between the two protein ingestion groups.

These findings lend support to the hypothesis that ingestion of whey protein immediately before or immediately after workouts can promote improvements in strength and hypertrophy, but the time upon which nutrients are ingested does not necessarily trump other feeding strategies.

Reviews by Aragon and Schoenfeld [ ] and Schoenfeld et al. The authors suggested that when recommended levels of protein are consumed, the effect of timing appears to be, at best, minimal. Indeed, research shows that muscles remain sensitized to protein ingestion for at least 24 h following a resistance training bout [ ] leading the authors to suggest that the timing, size and composition of any feeding episode before a workout may exert some level of impact on the resulting adaptations.

In addition to these considerations, recent work by MacNaughton and colleagues [ ] reported that the acute ingestion of a g dose versus g of whey protein resulted in significantly greater increases in MPS in young subjects who completed an intense, high volume bout of resistance exercise that targeted all major muscle groups.

Notwithstanding these conclusions, the number of studies that have truly examined a timing question is rather scant. Moreover, recommendations must capture the needs of a wide range of individuals, and to this point, a very small number of studies have examined the impact of nutrient timing using highly trained athletes.

From a practical standpoint, some athletes may struggle, particularly those with high body masses, to consume enough protein to meet their required daily needs. As a starting point, it is important to highlight that most of the available research on this topic has largely used non-athletic, untrained populations except two recent publications using trained men and women [ , ].

Whether or not these findings apply to highly trained, athletic populations remains to be seen. Changes in weight loss and body composition were compared, and slightly greater weight loss occurred when the majority of calories was consumed in the morning.

As a caveat to what is seemingly greater weight loss when more calories are shifted to the morning meals, higher amounts of fat-free mass were lost as well, leading to questions surrounding the long-term efficacy of this strategy regarding weight management and metabolic activity.

Notably, this last point speaks to the importance of evenly spreading out calories across the day and avoiding extended periods of time where no food, protein in particular, is consumed. A large observational study [ ] examined the food intake of free-living individuals males and females ,and a follow-up study from the same study cohort [ ] reported that the timing of food consumption earlier vs.

later in the day was correlated to the total daily caloric intake. Wu and colleagues [ ] reported that meals later in the day lead to increased rates of lipogenesis and adipose tissue accumulation in an animal model and, while limited, human research has also provided support. Previously it has been shown that people who skip breakfast display a delayed activation of lipolysis along with an increase in adipose tissue production [ , ].

More recently, Jakubowicz and colleagues [ ] had overweight and obese women consume cal each day for a week period. Approximately 2. While these results provide insight into how calories could be more optimally distributed throughout the day, a key perspective is that these studies were performed in sedentary populations without any form of exercise intervention.

Thus, their relevance to athletes or highly active populations might be limited. Furthermore, the current research approach has failed to explore the influence of more evenly distributed meal patterns throughout the day.

Meal frequency is commonly defined as the number of feeding episodes that take place each day. For years, recommendations have indicated that increasing meal frequency may serve as an effective way to influence weight loss, weight maintenance, and body composition. These assertions were based upon the epidemiological work of Fabry and colleagues [ , ] who reported that mean skinfold thickness was inversely related to the frequency of meals.

One of these studies involved overweight individuals between 60 and 64 years of age while the other investigation involved 80 participants between the ages of 30—50 years of age.

An even larger study published by Metzner and colleagues [ ] reported that in a sample of men and women between 35 and 60 years of age, meal frequency and adiposity were inversely related. While intriguing, the observational nature of these studies does not agree with more controlled experiments.

For example, a study by Farshchi et al. The irregular meal pattern was found to result in increased levels of appetite, and hunger leading one to question if the energy provided in each meal was inadequate or if the energy content of each meal could have been better matched to limit these feelings while still promoting weight loss.

Furthermore, Cameron and investigators [ ] published what is one of the first studies to directly compare a greater meal frequency to a lower frequency. In this study, 16 obese men and women reduced their energy intake by kcals per day and were assigned to one of two isocaloric groups: one group was instructed to consume six meals per day three traditional meals and three snacks , while the other group was instructed to consume three meals per day for an eight-week period.

Changes in body mass, obesity indices, appetite, and ghrelin were measured at the end of the eight-week study, and no significant differences in any of the measured endpoints were found between conditions. These results also align with more recent results by Alencar [ ] who compared the impact of consuming isocaloric diets consisting of two meals per day or six meals per day for 14 days in overweight women on weight loss, body composition, serum hormones ghrelin, insulin , and metabolic glucose markers.

No differences between groups in any of the measured outcomes were observed. A review by Kulovitz et al. Similar conclusions were drawn in a meta-analysis by Schoenfeld and colleagues [ ] that examined the impact of meal frequency on weight loss and body composition.

Although initial results suggested a potential advantage for higher meal frequencies on body composition, sub-analysis indicated that findings were confounded by a single study, casting doubt as to whether the strategy confers any beneficial effects.

From this, one might conclude that greater meal frequency may, indeed, favorably influence weight loss and body composition changes if used in combination with an exercise program for a short period of time.

Certainly, more research is needed in this area, particularly studies that manipulate meal frequency in combination with an exercise program in non-athletic as well as athletic populations.

Finally, other endpoints related to meal frequency i. may be of interest to different populations, but they extend beyond the scope of this position stand. An extension of altering the patterns or frequency of when meals are consumed is to examine the pattern upon which protein feedings occur.

Moore and colleagues [ ] examined the differences in protein turnover and synthesis rates when participants ingested different patterns, in a randomized order, of an g total dose of protein over a h measurement period following a bout of lower body resistance exercise.

One of the protein feeding patterns required participants to consume two g doses of whey protein isolate approximately 6 h apart. Another condition required the consumption of four, g doses of whey protein isolate every 3 h.

The final condition required the participants to consume eight, g doses of whey protein isolate every 90 min. Rates of muscle protein turnover, synthesis, and breakdown were compared, and the authors concluded that protein turnover and synthesis rates were greatest when intermediate-sized g doses of whey protein isolate were consumed every 3 h.

One of the caveats of this investigation was the very low total dose of protein consumed. Eighty grams of protein over a h period would be grossly inadequate for athletes performing high volumes of training as well as those who are extremely heavy e. A follow-up study one year later from the same research group determined myofibrillar protein synthesis rates after randomizing participants into three different protein ingestion patterns and examined how altering the pattern of protein administration affected protein synthesis rates after a bout of resistance exercise [ ].

Two key outcomes were identified. First, rates of myofibrillar protein synthesis rates increased in all three groups. Second, when four, g doses of whey protein isolate were consumed every 3 h over a h post-exercise period, significantly greater in comparison to the other two patterns of protein ingestion rates of myofibrillar protein synthesis occurred.

In combining the results of both studies, one can conclude that ingestion of intermediate protein doses 20 g consumed every 3 h creates more favorable changes in both whole-body as well as myofibrillar protein synthesis [ , ].

Although both studies employed short-term methodology and other patterns or doses have yet to be examined, the results thus far consistently suggest that the timing or pattern in which high-quality protein is ingested may favorably impact net protein balance as well as rates of myofibrillar protein synthesis.

An important caveat to these findings is that supplementation in most cases was provided in exclusion of other macronutrients over the duration of the study. Consumption of mixed meals delays gastric emptying and thus may result in different metabolic effects. Moreover, the fact that whey is a fast-absorbing protein source [ ] further confounds the ability to generalize results to traditional mixed-meal diets, as the potential for oxidation is increased with larger dosages, particularly in the absence of other macronutrients.

Whether acute MPS responses translate to longitudinal changes in hypertrophy or fiber composition also remains to be determined [ ].

Protein pacing involves the consumption of 20—40 g servings of high-quality protein, from both whole food and protein supplementation, evenly spaced throughout the day, approximately every 3 h. The first meal is consumed within 60 min of waking in the morning, and the last meal is eaten within 3 h of going to sleep at night.

Arciero and colleagues [ , ] have most recently demonstrated increased muscular strength and power in exercise-trained physically fit men and women using protein pacing compared to ingestion of similar sized meals at similar times but different protein contents, both of which included the same multi-component exercise training during a week intervention.

In support of this theory one can point to the well characterized changes seen in peak MPS rates within 90 min after oral ingestion of protein [ ] and the return of MPS rates to baseline levels in approximately 90 min despite elevations in serum amino acid levels [ ].

Thus if efficacious protein feedings are placed too close together it remains possible that the ability of skeletal muscle anabolism to be fully activated might be limited. While no clear consensus exists as to the acceptance of this theory, conflicting findings exist between longitudinal studies that did provide protein feedings in close proximity to each other [ 16 , , ], making this an area that requires more investigation.

Finally, while the mechanistic implications of pulsed vs. bolus protein feedings and their effect on MPS rates may help ultimately guide application, the practical importance has yet to be demonstrated.

Eating before sleep has long been controversial [ , , ]. However, methodological considerations in the original studies such as the population used, time of feeding, and size of the pre-sleep meal confounds any conclusions that can be drawn.

Recent work using protein-centric beverages consumed min before sleep and 2 h after the last meal dinner have identified pre-sleep protein consumption as advantageous to MPS, muscle recovery, and overall metabolism in both acute and long-term studies [ , ]. For example, data indicate that 30—40 g of casein protein ingested min prior to sleep [ ] or via nasogastric tubing [ ] increased overnight MPS in both young and old men, respectively.

Likewise, in an acute setting, 30 g of whey protein, 30 g of casein protein, and 33 g of carbohydrate consumption min pre-sleep resulted in elevated morning resting metabolic rate in fit young men compared to a non-caloric placebo [ ]. Of particular interest is that Madzima et al. This infers that casein protein consumed pre-sleep maintains overnight lipolysis and fat oxidation.

This finding was verifiedwhen Kinsey et al. It was concluded that pre-sleep casein did not blunt overnight lipolysis or fat oxidation.

Similar to Madzima et al. Of note, it appears that previous exercise training completely ameliorates any rise in insulin when eating at night before sleep [ ] and the combination of pre-sleep protein and exercise has been shown to reduce blood pressure and arterial stiffness in young obese women with prehypertension and hypertension [ ].

To date, only two studies involving nighttime protein have been carried out for longer than four weeks. Snijders et al.

The group receiving the protein-centric supplement each night before sleep had greater improvements in muscle mass and strength over the weeks.

Of note, this study was non-nitrogen balanced and the protein group received approximately 1. More recently, in a nitrogen-balanced design using young healthy men and women, Antonio et al. All subjects maintained their usual exercise program.

The authors reported no differences in body composition or performance between the morning and evening casein supplementation groups. A potential explanation for the lack of findings might stem from the already high intake of protein by the study participants before the study commenced.

However, it is worth noting that although not statistically significant, the morning group added 0. Thus, it appears that protein consumption in the evening before sleep represents another opportunity to consume protein and other nutrients.

Certainly more research is needed to determine if timing per se, or the mere addition of total daily protein can affect body composition or recovery via nighttime feeding. Nutrient timing is an area of research that continues to gather interest from researchers, coaches, and consumers.

In reviewing the literature, two key considerations should be made. First, all findings surrounding nutrient timing require appropriate context because factors such as age, sex, fitness level, previous fueling status, dietary status, training volume, training intensity, program design, and time before the next training bout or competition can influence the extent to which timing may play a role in the adaptive response to exercise.

Second, nearly all research within this topic requires further investigation. The reader must keep in perspective that in its simplest form nutrient timing is a feeding strategy that in nearly all situations may be helpful towards the promotion of recovery and adaptations towards training.

This context is important because many nutrient timing studies demonstrate favorable changes that do not meet statistical thresholds of significance thereby leaving the reader to interpret the level of practical significance that exists from the findings.

It is noteworthy that differences in real-world athletic performances can be so small that even strategies that offer a modicum of benefit are still worth pursuing. In nearly all such situations, this approach results in an athlete receiving a combination of nutrients at specific times that may be helpful and has not yet shown to be harmful.

This perspective also has the added advantage of offering more flexibility to the fueling considerations a coach or athlete may employ.

Using this approach, when both situations timed or non-timed ingestion of nutrients offer positive outcomes then our perspective is to advise an athlete to follow whatever strategy offers the most convenience or compliance if for no other reason than to deliver vital nutrients in amounts at a time that will support the physiological response to exercise.

Finally, it is advisable to remind the reader that due to the complexity, cost and invasiveness required to answer some of these fundamental questions, research studies often employ small numbers of study participants.

Also, for the most part studies have primarily evaluated men. This latter point is particularly important as researchers have documented that females oxidize more fat when compared to men, and also seem to utilize endogenous fuel sources to different degrees [ 28 , 29 , 30 ].

Furthermore, the size of potential effects tends to be small, and when small potential effects are combined with small numbers of study participants, the ability to determine statistical significance remains low. Nonetheless, this consideration remains relevant because it underscores the need for more research to better understand the possibility of the group and individual changes that can be expected when the timing of nutrients is manipulated.

In many situations, the efficacy of nutrient timing is inherently tied to the concept of optimal fueling. Thus, the importance of adequate energy, carbohydrate, and protein intake must be emphasized to ensure athletes are properly fueled for optimal performance as well as to maximize potential adaptations to exercise training.

High-intensity exercise particularly in hot and humid conditions demands aggressive carbohydrate and fluid replacement. Consumption of 1. The need for carbohydrate replacement increases in importance as training and competition extend beyond 70 min of activity and the need for carbohydrate during shorter durations is less established.

Adding protein 0. Moreover, the additional protein may minimize muscle damage, promote favorable hormone balance and accelerate recovery from intense exercise. For athletes completing high volumes i. The use of a 20—g dose of a high-quality protein source that contains approximately 10—12 g of the EAA maximizes MPS rates that remain elevated for three to four hours following exercise.

Protein consumption during the peri-workout period is a pragmatic and sensible strategy for athletes, particularly those who perform high volumes of exercise. Not consuming protein post-workout e. The impact of delivering a dose of protein with or without carbohydrates during the peri-workout period over the course of several weeks may operate as a strategy to heighten adaptations to exercise.

Like carbohydrate, timing related considerations for protein appear to be of lower priority than the ingestion of optimal amounts of daily protein 1. In the face of restricting caloric intake for weight loss, altering meal frequency has shown limited effects on body composition.

However, more frequent meals may be more beneficial when accompanied by an exercise program. The impact of altering meal frequency in combination with an exercise program in non-athlete or athlete populations warrants further investigation. It is established that altering meal frequency outside of an exercise program may help with controlling hunger, appetite and satiety.

Nutrient timing strategies that involve changing the distribution of intermediate-sized protein doses 20—40 g or 0. One must also consider that other factors such as the type of exercise stimulus, training status, and consumption of mixed macronutrient meals versus sole protein feedings can all impact how protein is metabolized across the day.

When consumed within 30 min before sleep, 30—40 g of casein may increase MPS rates and improve strength and muscle hypertrophy.

In addition, protein ingestion prior to sleep may increase morning metabolic rate while exerting minimal influence over lipolysis rates. In addition, pre-sleep protein intake can operate as an effective way to meet daily protein needs while also providing a metabolic stimulus for muscle adaptation.

Department for Health. Abstract Biological rhythms in physiological and behavioural processes anticipate regular environmental changes and therefore adjust physiology and behaviour accordingly. These biological rhythms appear to facilitate the response of skeletal muscle to variable nutrient supply.

However no human research to date has characterised temporal rhythms in in vivo human muscle alongside systemic markers of metabolism. Furthermore, recent studies have revealed links between the first meal of the day and human health, so it is now important to examine the potential underlying mechanisms of these relationships.

The aim of this thesis was to take a multi-faceted approach to studying the metabolic and behavioural effects of meal timing, with focus on both absolute and relative timing. Initially, Chapter 4 provided h characterisation of diurnal rhythms in human skeletal muscle gene expression alongside circulating metabolic and endocrine markers.

Chapter 5 then built on this by demonstrating the ability of enteral feeding pattern i. It also considers the digestion and absorption rate of specific nutrients, and substrate utilization during exercise.

Moderate to high-intensity exercise relies heavily on carbohydrates as a fuel source, however, glycogen stores in the body are limited and can only supply the body with energy for up to a few hours during continued high-intensity bouts. Therefore, "filling up the gas tank" is imperative to improve performance and prevent fatigue.

It takes roughly about hours for carbohydrates to be fully digested and assimilated into muscle and liver glycogen. Therefore, the first feeding priority before exercise is a meal at least 4 hours before competition to fully saturate muscle glycogen stores. Want to see how you can put this information to use as a fitness pro?

Look into our Certified Sports Nutrition Coach course! The purpose of post-workout feedings at specific times is to augment the recovery process, which in turn implies muscle recovery. Muscle recovery goals will vary based on the sport an athlete is participating in but can include muscle strength, muscle growth, or prevention of muscle soreness.

Since muscles store carbohydrates and amino acids make up the structure of skeletal tissues, feedings are largely focused on carbohydrates and proteins. When studies compared the effects of carbohydrate or protein feedings on muscle protein synthesis, they found that together they have the greatest effect on increasing muscle protein synthesis.

Regarding muscle strength and growth, it has been found that the greatest effect of protein consumption is largely dependent on the last dose consumed.

Regular protein feedings every hours in doses of grams have shown the greatest benefit in improving muscle growth, and strength and leading to favorable changes in body composition. However, regarding specific feeding windows, muscle protein synthesis is greatest immediately after up to 2 hours post-exercise.

How much protein should be consumed in that time frame? Can essential amino acids also do the trick? Doses of g of essential amino acids can also maximally stimulate muscle protein synthesis. This can improve recovery and leads to favorable changes in body composition such as increases or maintenance in lean mass and decreases in fat mass.

During exercise, frequent feedings of g of high GI carbs per hour of training can help increase performance, maintain normal blood glucose levels, and prevent early fatigue. Post-exercise, protein should be consumed as soon as possible after exercise.

However, you can still maximally stimulate muscle protein synthesis up to 2 hours post-exercise by consuming g of a rich protein. When it comes to strength, recovery, and improved body composition it is recommended that protein be consumed in intervals of every hours to promote a positive state of nitrogen balance.

If your goal is to build muscle, carbohydrates, and protein should be consumed together. Nutrient timing can be employed at any level, however, if you are looking to gain a competitive edge and boost your performance, nutrient timing may be the key to your success.
