Another factor that needs to be considered in regard to the timing is choosing the correct nutrient at the correct timing. Carbs if not taken appropriately will be converted to deposits of fat. Ideally carbs should be eaten immediately after workout to repair and rebuild the muscles, however if extra carbohydrates are eaten during periods of inactivity will lead to accumulation of body fat.  In regard to the protein intake one must take protein such as whey protein not only immediately post work out to enhance recovery but also try to eat low fat high protein foods after every 3-4 hours to achieve your protein allowance.

3.HOW TO EAT ON NON-TRAINING DAYS: During the periods of inactivity you should decrease your diet proportionately to your activity schedule. You should not only decrease your portions intake of meal accordingly and to be more specific cut down on carbs during the non training days as the demand for carbs considerably fall down when you’re inactive throughout the day. Individuals who continue to eat the same amount of carb on the days they don’t train are more likely to gain more body fat.
