Hi just throwing it out there on my experience with nutrition, zero knowledge always followed the protocol of consume high protein within 20 to 30 minutes after working eat high protein regularly throughout the day, started training at 19 years of age 140lbs got up to my heaviest before lockdown 240lbs carrying a lot of fat, now I workout at 5am, just 1pint of milk after working out, realised many years ago that protein shakes are just a manufacturing scam, next meal around 5.30pm and stop eating at 9 id have a large meal plus pudding/cake potato chips chocolate and my ritual of cereal before bed, dropped down to 218 past few weeks ramped it up so I only eat between 5.30pm and 9pm same foods just no pint of milk or protein after working out, I have not lost any muscle size just fat, anyone else found that protein after working out is a myth for us natural regular joes? Now I understand you may not be able to build muscle in this way but for maintaining im doing just fine also thinking natural guys have a limit to muscle they can put on hence why I suddenly started gaining fat plus im now 37 so metabolism must have slowd, just curious on anyone else going against the grain eating less not much protein and not losing muscle especially going 12 hours not consuming it after working out? 2 cents oh and currently at 204lbs just drinking about 2litres of coffee at work in my flask to tide me over till 5.30pm
