Bedtime Snacking Myth Buster

11/10/2018

Athlete Myth Buster: a lot of athletes think they shouldn't eat after dinner - any calories later in the day being stored as "fat". I'm here to tell you that is NOT the case! 

Eating a protein-rich snack a few hours before bed is actually a HUGE component to muscle recovery, build and injury prevention. The muscle acts like a sponge and during sleep, you get a spike in muscle hormones (e.g. HGH). The protein consumed in the evening is quickly taken up into the muscles - accelerating recovery from the days heavy training and reducing muscle soreness going into the following day! 

A few weeks back I played around with bedtime snacks and successfully created a Fall/Winter Apple Cobbler - containing @Quaker rolled oats and @OrchardValleyHarvest Glazed Pecans/Pumpkin Seeds/Dried Cranberries. Top it off with some Greek Yogurt/Frozen Yogurt and you have yourself fantastic evening snack to best #FuelForTheGOLD. 

Be on the lookout for the recipe. I will be posting it to my Official ATP Sports Nutrition Page and my blog on my official website: www.atpsportsnutrition.com :)
