We get asked this at the Fit Cookie counter every single day. The truth? Your muscles aren't a parking meter—they don't "run out" of time exactly 30 minutes after your last set at the gym.
However, if you want the stronger, more recovered version of yourself to show up for tomorrow's session, timing does change the game for your digestion and energy. In Harrogate, we train hard—whether it's hills at Cornwall Road or a heavy lift in the town center. Here is how to fuel that effort:
The Strategy:
☀️ Morning: Kickstart protein synthesis and stay full until lunch (perfect for those long office mornings).
⚡ Post-Workout: A rapid recovery boost when your blood flow is at its peak.
🌙 Bedtime: Slow-release repair while you sleep.
The Golden Rule: Consistency beats "perfect" timing every time. Hit your daily goal first, then worry about the clock.
