Hard Session Fed Window Extension Rule
Hard session fed window extension rule widens the eating window on intense training days so pre- and post-workout meals both fall fed.
Hard session fed window extension rule temporarily widens the eating window—sixteen-eight becomes fourteen-ten or thirteen-eleven—on days with intervals, match play, or heavy lower-body lifts so pre- and post-workout meals both land fed. Rigid eight-hour caps that force fasted PR attempts or delayed refeeds often hurt performance and recovery more than a slightly longer window helps adherence.
Return to the usual window on rest days. Protein distribution still matters inside the wider span.
