Protein before or after training? Dissipate your doubts!

Beginners often wonder when it is better to take protein - before or after training? In fact, each of these views turns out to be beneficial for regular physical activity and a balanced diet.

Protein before or after training? There is no wrong answer!

It is difficult to answer this question unequivocally. It is known that protein plays an extremely important role in the daily diet of exercising people. Regular training requires an increased supply of protein, which is essential for maintaining and increasing current muscle mass. In addition, protein supports the maintenance of healthy bones, which are repeatedly put to the endurance test during intensive strength training.

 

One of the basic principles of a balanced diet is the consumption of wholesome and varied meals, which are rich in macro nutrients. Each dish should consist of protein, carbohydrates and fats, the proportions of which should be chosen according to individual needs (e.g. a low carb diet will require much less of carbohydrates). Therefore, the consumption of protein before or after training is equally necessary.

Protein supplements – before or after training?

Dieticians and nutritionists have repeatedly emphasized that the best way to maintain an optimal amount of protein is through a varied diet. There are a large number of products that are a rich source of complete proteins. These include:

  • white and red meat,
  • fish and seafood,
  • eggs served in various ways,
  • seeds, nuts, grains,
  • legumes (eg. chickpeas, beans, lentils),
  • milk and dairy products (eg. kefirs, yoghurts, certain kinds of cheese).

However, cooking is not a pleasure for everyone, and sometimes time is a real obstacle to preparing a complete meal. What's more, the protein contained in food products is usually not completely assimilated. That is why people who exercise often decide to buy protein supplements, which are a simple and convenient way to supplement protein before or after training.
