Protein Timing
Protein timing refers to distributing protein intake across the day—especially around training and waking—rather than loading most of it into one meal. Spreading 20–40 grams per meal supports muscle protein synthesis, satiety, and recovery when total daily protein is already adequate.

Timing matters most when you are training hard, in a calorie deficit, or working to preserve lean mass during body recomposition.
