Author	Topic: when to eat protein?
James 10-06-2002 02:51 PM	hi i was wondering when to comsume protein /eggs since u said that consumeing them and being physically active can cause acne would walking or going upstairs be considered physical activity in this case or would it b better to consume them ( nuts eggs ) after a workout or 2 hours before and since some days im active quite a lot would it be okay 2 just have the eggs before bed . thanks

After having consumed egg yolks / fish, you should remain totally inactive for a bout 1.5 hours. Watching TV etc. is perfect. quote: or would it b better to consume them ( nuts eggs ) after a workout or 2 hours before After is better, if you then are totally inactive, that is. quote: and since some days im active quite a lot would it be okay 2 just have the eggs before bed Yes, regarding acne that is okay, but, be prepared that the next morning your mouth will taste like it contains a nest with dead young birds.
jhontry 04-25-2003 08:45 AM	Hi Wai, i am courious because you said that the best time to eat the egg yolks and avocado is at night. I thought u said that eating at night will not help to sleep well or to rest the body? It will be okay if i eat the egg yolks right before i go to sleep?, because i use to eat them at about 4pm and is really annoying to take 2 hours to rest. ty john
jay_1 04-25-2003 08:47 AM	John, I dont think that it is neccesary to have to take naps after eating eggs. I think that after you eat eggs you must "rest." "Rest" meaning no activity that gets your heart beating fast. You can eat your eggs anytime throughout the day. Just make sure that you dont perform any heavy physical activity for at least 1.5 hours after you have eaten the eggs.
Wai 04-25-2003 08:53 AM	yes, thank you Jay John, eating proteinacous food (like egg yolks and fish) right before sleep can impair your slepp, but the night is long, and one usually tends to go to sleep at the end of the night. For most people it is easiest to consume the egg yolks after they have come back from work or school, and when they are going to watch some tv or something; early in the night Do you watch TV sometimes? at what time do you spend some time behind your computer? THAT is the right time for you to combine it with taking the yolks

I am a professional musician and my night "ends" just before I am going to sleep. Just wanted to make sure again: taking the yolks just before getting to bed WILL NEVER cause acne. AT worst case it could cause bad sleep... Correct?!?? Does anybody of you have other suggestions on when to take the yolks; I am not watching TV etc. I like to take walks and I have some work at the computer daily (but neither takes 1.5 hours of time...) AN IDEA... what if I mixed all the yolks in Orange Juice and zipped out of it during the day, in very small portions, so that each time very little amount of protein is absorbed. Could that cause acne. I am really sorry for the nugging. I am new here and eager to solve the regime problem concerning the protein intake... T-ank -ou Gavriel.
gavriel 05-08-2003 05:01 AM	DO you think it would be better then to consume the protein in two part (say one portion in the mornin g and one in the evening...)??? If it takes about say, 2 hour for the protein to ebsorb properly in the blood and then another half a day to get into the true skin...

Correct?!?? correct quote: what if I mixed all the yolks in Orange Juice and zipped out of it during the day, in very small portions, so that each time very little amount of protein is absorbed. Could that cause acne. that is not a good idea, because the yolks should be consumed immediately after opening (consuming them hours later will give you the runs) it is best to consume all the yolks in one sitting there must be some time every day that you are not physically active for at least 1.5 hours... if that is really not the case, then you can consume them right before you go to sleep quote: I am really sorry for the nugging. dont be sorry! success is in the details you better ask too much than too little quote: DO you think it would be better then to consume the protein in two part No, that doesnt make a difference it can only make it harder, because then you need to rest sufficiently after both times, while you need to rest only once a day if you consume all the fish/yolks in one sitting
gavriel 05-08-2003 08:12 AM	Thank you Wai. BTW My father is a microbiologist on pension. He used to be a head of the Unit of virology in the Kimron Veterinarian Institue in Israel which is responsible for preventing Animal deseases in Israel... He has also a completely different direction in Science which he is 100% accupied with now. I will write to you about it more later (maybe when he is here to visit me in Germany). However, I will show him the experiment proposal on Mice. No much hope but I'll try (my sister is working with mice daily in the Tel-aviv University but she is still a doctorant student - I'll try also...) Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
moydodyr 05-25-2003 11:01 AM	when should protein be best consumed, throughout the day or just at the end of the day? With the goal being both muscle gain and acne elimination as well? I take: 2 eggs during the day 200g salmon before going to sleep I exercise in the afternoon, after the eggs, but before the salmon... should I distribute the salmon more through the day?
Wai 05-25-2003 11:06 AM	quote: when should protein be best consumed, throughout the day or just at the end of the day? With the goal being both muscle gain and acne elimination as well? it is best consumed in one setting at the end of the day because you best consumed it if you dont have to be physically active anymore afterwards that way your digestion will be best (important regarding acne), and also, after having been exerciseing / physical active, the ingested protein is better used for constructional purposes (important regarding muscle weight) quote: I take: 2 eggs during the day 200g salmon before going to sleep I exercise in the afternoon, after the eggs, but before the salmon... how soon after the egg yolks? quote: should I distribute the salmon more through the day? no

About an hour or 2.
Wai 05-26-2003 11:12 AM	ah, thats okay
PhiVan 05-26-2003 11:17 PM	so it is okay to eat salmon right before bed? -- that's like the most convenient time for me....
Wai 05-29-2003 11:37 AM	right before is a bit too close (making you sleep unresty), but 2 to 3 hours before is perfect .
Amon 05-30-2003 06:52 PM	I read in another thread in this forum, can't recall where, that if you eat the protein(egg yolk/raw fish)you cant eat fruit until 3 hours after that. Is this true? Also, I work evening shift from 3-11pm the only time I get to excercise is in the morining before work, when do I eat the raw egg yolk?

Is this true? 1.5 to 3 hours, yes, that is true. But, in the meantime, you should drink juice after consuming the yolks, to prevent your blood sugar from decreasing too much. This should be pressed juice, or juice from the juice extractor; not juice with fiber, such as juices from the blender / mixer. quote: I work evening shift from 3-11pm the only time I get to excercise is in the morining before work, when do I eat the raw egg yolk? After work. Your calculator question (and more) is answered here: link RRM
