Your body can\u2019t process more than 25 to 35g of protein per serving, so scoffing six steaks at dinner is a waste. \u201cIt\u2019s not about having shedloads all at once,\u201d say Reid.

Reid also recommends a skinny latte for a pre-gym boost: \u201cYou\u2019ve got the caffeine kick, the protein in the milk and if you try a banana with it, a bit of carbohydrate.\u201d\u00a0<strong>Pairing your protein with carbs\u00a0is good sense<\/strong>. After exercise your body produces the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol, which break down proteins, fats and sugars. When they\u2019re coursing through you, you\u2019re not building muscle. \u201cWhen you get some recovery nutrition in it counters those stress hormones,\u201d says Reid, switching your body back into repair mode and kickstarting growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Timing your protein hits is vital to optimise your gains.
