GOOD START

Having a high-protein breakfast (which for many tends to be the lowest-protein meal of the day) could make a big difference to your gains. Researchers have recently shown that a protein-packed meal to start the day increases muscle size and function more effectively than a high-protein meal at dinner time.5 The body’s circadian rhythm, also known as the internal body clock, influences how protein is digested and absorbed, which appears to be more efficient in the mornings.
