1 Generally speaking, after a night's rest in the morning, the body's daytime consumption has recovered, and the body's function is the most vigorous. It has not eaten for a long time and needs to be replenished urgently. So at this time, the digestive system such as the stomach and intestines has the strongest digestion and absorption capacity, and the absorbed protein does not need to be used to restore the body, but will accumulate in the body. It is recommended to eat protein powder in the morning.
At noon, the whole morning's work and study consumed a lot of energy, and I was hungry. The human body is in urgent need of energy supplement, food demand and strong digestion and absorption. But at this time, compared with the morning, part of protein absorbed at this time is used to restore body function, the other part is used to supplement energy, and the rest will be used for body accumulation. In addition, some people have rich lunches, so there is no need to add protein powder. If they can't digest it, it is a waste. What protein lacks is often a small appetite and insufficient energy consumption for lunch. Protein powder supplement is also used as energy consumption. So noon is not the best time to supplement protein powder.
3. At night, although the activities such as work and study during the day consume the human body's material and need energy urgently, the capacity of the digestive system is also the weakest at this time, and the digestive activity will be very low after hibernation. Therefore, part of the protein powder eaten at night is used by the human body to supplement the ability, and the other part is not absorbed and wasted.
4. Some people choose to eat protein powder before going to bed at night to improve their sleep quality. As for whether it can really improve the quality of sleep, this varies from person to person. But if you have a history of gastrointestinal diseases, or gastrointestinal diseases are being treated or recovered, it is best not to eat protein powder at night. At this time, the digestive activity and function of the stomach will be greatly reduced with dormancy, otherwise it will increase the burden of the stomach and is not conducive to the recovery of the stomach.
5. When the human body is on an empty stomach, it is best to eat food to meet the energy needs of the human body first, and then to repair and accumulate the body. So don't eat protein powder on an empty stomach, otherwise it will be digested by the human body as an energy substance, wasting protein. It is best to eat a few hours after meals, usually 30 minutes after morning. If you are in a hurry to go to work and have no time to wait, you can eat other foods before eating protein powder.
6. For athletes, bodybuilders, bodybuilders, because high-intensity exercise consumes muscle protein, which is not good for muscles, it is impossible to stick to the most appropriate time, and protein must be supplemented after exercise. Therefore, they can eat protein powder half an hour after exercise to prevent muscle damage caused by protein deficiency.
7. For vegetarians and dieters, you can supplement protein powder in moderation every meal. Vegetarians and dieters often have the problem of insufficient protein. Therefore, it is suggested that a certain amount of protein supplement should be added to every meal in the daily diet. Eat protein powder after meals or half an hour after meals.
8. For growing infants and young children, as well as the elderly and patients who are malnourished and need to eat less and more meals, an appropriate amount of protein powder can be added to each meal during the day to make up for the deficiency of protein and promote human growth or recovery. Eat after meals or half an hour after meals.
