To those who train during the evening/at night: How do you plan your meals? I usually have dinner between 5-6pm and don't eat after that, but with a work schedule change I can only ride between 6:30pm and 8:30pm so I'm struggling with how to plan my meals. Dinner at the regular time and then just a protein drink after my ride?
And, is anyone else fighting off winter cravings? I've never been as hungry as during the past week since it's dropped to the high 50s/low 60s during the mornings. I know that's not cold for most, but it's more indicative of the seasons changing and the circadian effects of that. I just end up bouncing around the kitchen eating every piece of meat, all the nuts and loads of ice cream. Generally having a hard time getting to that full feeling. More fat with my meals?
Finally, I watched this series and found it extremely interesting.
I workout and race almost exclusively at night. Both happen after work. Only on weekends do I work out during the day, and that's usually in the afternoon, but rarely in the morning.
Yeah, drinking a protein shake immediately after is what I do.
I read Gary Taubes' book, "Good Calories Bad Calories". It was very enlightening. I highly recommend it. I may have mentioned that earlier in this thread. Can't recall.
