1. Carbohydrates should be eaten early in the day.
My suggestion: Ezekiel bread toasted with grass-fed butter by Kerrygold (or better, an organic brand). Cholesterol, from the butter, is the building block of cell membranes, hormones (like testosterone), vitamin D, bile acids (which will help you digest fats), and it is necessary for your brain to work properly.
2. Protein should be eaten later in the day.
My suggestion: Organic grass fed filet mignon for dinner.
3. Eat on a regular and consistent schedule. The facts are, that people who do not have regularly scheduled meals get fatter than people who follow a regular schedule. Even if two average people ate the same amount of calories, the person who followed a regular schedule will be accumulate less fat.
4. Eat two hours, or more, before serious exercise. Digestion demands that a large supply of blood be directed to your stomach and intestines, and digestion drains energy that you need to work hard.
5. Eat immediately after a work out. At your average 5k, 10k, or triathlon, the race organizers provide copious amounts of food for after the race. Even beer. It's great to eat after you work out, especially something high in carbs. You will build more muscle if you eat within 30 minutes of a good workout.
