In this final part of the BSN product guide, we'll give a sample schedule of using various supplements. I get asked quite often questions such as "when's the best time to take certain supplements", and that, really depends on the individual. It depends on their daily schedule, based on their work (or school) demands, available time for training, typical daily meal times, etc and etc...
For an "average" person, it might look something like this, assuming a 9 to 5 work schedule:
- Wake up
- Have Breakfast (meal #1)
- Have a snack or a shake in mid morning
- Lunch (meal #2)
- Have a mid after snack
- Hit the gym after work
- Whey protein shake for post workout
- Meal #3
- Another small meal or snack
- Bed time protein shake
The above is a pretty simplified list of how the meal and snack times might look. It's by no means a comprehensive guide to diet and nutrition. But you can read more about diet and nutrition here.
So how would the BSN supplements fit into a daily schedule? Below is a table showing when I take various supplements, meals and snacks, based on my own time flexibility and work requirements. It will of course be different from others as most people will probably have different work schedule and different lifestyles. But it will serve to give a good example of when to take various things, and you can adjust it accordingly to fit your own schedule.
