Protein Timing
& Amounts
Enough protein matters, but spreading it across the day usually matters more than one giant serving at dinner.

Daily protein rhythm
Protein works best when it shows up repeatedly at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and recovery instead of hiding almost entirely at night.
Protein checklist
Breakfast
obvious protein source shows up before school starts
Lunch
protein is part of the main meal, not just a side detail
After training
protein arrives with carbs in the first recovery window
Dinner
finish the pattern without trying to rescue the entire day
Coach cue
ask where protein landed before dinner, not only after
Common protein misses
Protein alone is not a full recovery plan if carbohydrates are still missing.Athletes usually miss protein early and overcorrect late.Supplements do not fix a weak breakfast or a skipped lunch by themselves.
Have the athlete point to where protein shows up at breakfast, lunch, after training, and dinner today.
