A full stomach will improve your workout by speeding muscle growth

A study published in the journal, Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, found that eating a meal that is 52% carbs, 34% protein and 14% fat at the right time boosted protein synthesis after a workout session. In the study, participants consumed a 570-calorie meal with the prescribed percentages of nutrients one hour before they hit the weights.

The perfect meal?
Cereal with yoghurt, said the researchers.
