If everything is mixed up and slowly released from the stomach into the small intestine anyway, why worry about eating certain macronutrients at certain times? ???
-
Is this in relation to post workout nutrition?

Palumbo swears by it...And if someone could be so kindly to post a recent picture that looks like he has a colostomy bag, then we could all just call it a night and move on..

BUMP !!!!

because regardless of digestion times and blood sugar levels, etc etc studies show greater muscle mass and strength when nutrient timing is used.
either use it and get the full benefit of your workouts or don't and lose out on potential new strength and muscle.

What would a nutrient timing program look like?

fast carbs, protein and creatine if possible directly before and after your workouts.

I don't agree fully. Many of the nutrient timing studies with relation to resistance exercise are done on subjects after overnight fast, for example. There aren't many studies on long term muscle accrual either.
I read one study where old folks lost out on all benefits from resistance exercise if there was no food coming in within an hour. On the other hand another study on younger subjects showed protein synthesis will be stimulated to the same extent as long as nutrients are consumed even 3 hours after the workout.

i have no vested interest in recomending pre/post shakes, in fact i only take milk+ creatine as i believe its better value ( and i dont like doing it as i feel i have more energy without it). However the 3rd study in this pdf shows exactly why i believe nutrient timing does work - and why i do it.
have a read and let me know your thoughts.
