For me right now I tend to lean towards the research
here Tat posted in her thread. (Thanks, Hackskii for the link refinement tip.
practice makes perfect. )
When I listen to my body, When I'm at work after class, my body wants a powerade first and then a handful of peanuts.
If I'm at home I will make a strawberry protein drink because the body is saying fruit then protein in that order.
Now, maybe I could substitute the fruit with some vitamin C to burn more calories and fat afterwards but that protein drink in the evening tends to be my last source of food for the day before bed.
Not sure if it is the best route to my goal of lean muscle and lower body fat but right now it seems to be working so I'm not going to change it too much though I am always willing to refine it as needed.
Each person must find their own routine and success for their own body's particular needs.
