So what about the generally accepted opinion that you need to consume some protein within a certain window after lifting weights to build muscle, repair and recover, etc. Is that true? Because I generally stop eating around 8pm and I eat after I lift around 11am but on days I don’t lift I easily can go until 5 without eating. I feel like not eating after lifting until 6 hours later wouldn’t work in my favor?
