Never bothered timing meal around protein intake as have a minimal workout routine
..I basically just do weights for 10-15 minutes every second day to maintain what I have. Not really looking to build muscle. I also jog every 4 days.
In terms of what I eat around working out, I've only ever thought in terms of making sure I've had something to give me a bit of energy before.like an apple or banana. Apart from that, the only other thing I make sure of is that I don't have a completely empty stomach.
But now that I've thought of it, this means that purely by chance, some days I might happen to do my weights a few hours away from eating protein, yet other days I will have happened to have eaten protein in or around the weight lifting period.
So my question is, do I build ever so slightly more muscle in the latter case?
