A conversation with a few adult cyclists and endurance athletes about evening training led to a great convo about evening snacks!
If you're > 35 YO and you're doing 3 hours on the bike or run/swim/cross train mix do not go to the high-fat savory foods you crave after.
Make sure you eat enough protein, calories, and carbs throughout the day so you do not crave junk in the evening.
If you feel ravenous after training whether you are a high school, college, or masters athlete choose your evening fuel WISELY! 👇
Your pre-sleep snack should be about 90-min before bed and should not be spicy, high fat, or contain caffeine. We always recommend limiting caffeine after 2 pm to avoid impaired sleep due to the half life of caffeine.
