So, you’ve finally come around and jumped on the FUUL bandwagon? It’s good to have you.
One thing a lot of our new customers wonder is when they should consume our products for the maximum impact.
Of course, while FUUL is a snack, it’s also something that’s meant to maximize your potential and benefit you in meaningful ways. So, timing is important.
Today, we’re going to go over the main factors for when to eat protein cookie dough bites for the best results.
Let’s get started.
Your Schedule and Lifestyle are Huge Factors
We could sit here and tell you to eat FUUL protein cookie dough every single time you feel hungry so you run out and have to buy more, but that’s not us. We’re fitness lovers, and we want our customers to get the most out of every single serving.
One thing about that is, we can’t give you one singular time you can take it and get the most out of it. Your needs are going to change depending on various factors.
Two of those are your lifestyle and your schedule.
If you wake up in the morning and have the time to make a big breakfast, it doesn’t make sense to eat FUUL then. If you’re half an hour away from a delicious grilled chicken breast and plenty of veggies, you are likely better off waiting until it’s time to eat that.
Likewise, a pro bodybuilder who is just destroying protein all day long is going to need a little protein boost multiple times between meals. In comparison, someone who goes for a jog every day and maybe does some basic lifts, really doesn’t need to eat it more than once to help repair their muscles after a workout.
So, rather than try to give you a catch-all response, we’re going to go over multiple lifestyles and give you the best recommendation for each one.
The Average Person
We love fitness, and we want you to get in the habit of pursuing your peak potential. You’ll feel great. However, we know not everyone is quite as passionate about it as we are, and maybe you want protein for other reasons.
If you’re the average person who wants to use protein to feel more full, have more energy, and try to cut back on those impulses to eat at random, protein cookie dough is a great breakfast or lunch option.
If you get a decent lunch hour at work, breakfast is best. You can get some good protein in you to fuel up before work without much effort, and at lunch, you can top it off by going out with a friend or packing a good and healthy meal.
If you’re the type who works through your lunch break or you handle errands, FUUL can be great for topping off the tank and keeping you going until you get home. Our nostalgic birthday cake flavor delivers a comforting, familiar taste you’ll actually look forward to.
Even though you’re not working out too much or focusing on the active part of fitness, protein cookie dough in proper amounts is very useful.
You’re still using your muscles, and your body still has to have a protein supply to rebuild them. So, you’re going to feel better with this boost each day.
The Once-a-Day Workout Routine
Now, if you’re the average fitness lover, you’re probably going to squeeze in one really good workout per day. You might end the day with a jog or start with some yoga, but you probably aren’t constantly pumping iron.
You’re most likely only going to need a protein snack once per day, and your diet can make up the rest of your protein needs with ease. As long as you’re eating healthy, of course.
The best time to eat your protein snack is debated. While it’s always better to eat after your big workout, some people say you can wait a few hours, and some say you have to eat immediately.
Since there’s a “can” in the waiting bit, we recommend just leaving the gym, opening a bag of FUUL protein cookie dough, and eating it right away. The delicious chocolate chip cookie flavor is especially popular for that post-workout satisfaction.
The reason you want to eat your snack after your workout is that you have just torn your muscles up. Your body likely used a lot of your reserved protein and is now eating fat, and it’s craving protein. When you eat your protein cookie dough after the workout, it’s going to go straight to repairing muscles.
This leads to bigger gains, faster recovery, and better performance.
The Hardcore Weightlifter
Alright, if you’re hardcore and you hit the gym more often than you’re at home, you need a lot of protein to maintain your gains. One bag just isn’t going to cut it.
You probably know this since you’re likely more advanced in fitness, but bodybuilders and similar folks often have to eat several times per day to make sure they can maintain their muscles. This is huge for professional athletes, bodybuilders, weightlifters, etc.
For you, open a pack right after each workout. Your muscles need it. You’re having a hard time keeping enough protein in the tank. You’re like a race car with zero fuel efficiency. Gas is going in, and it’s getting burned right away.
You can also use FUUL for those inconvenient times when you need to eat. A lot of bodybuilders have to wake up in the middle of the night to get protein in and stay huge. It’s extremely inconvenient to heat chicken breasts and stuff when you’re half asleep.
Instead, open up some FUUL. It’s quick, easy, tastes good, and you can avoid a lot of the hassle that comes with your unique body maintenance.
FUUL is for Everybody: Try It For Yourself
The best time to eat high protein snacks depends on your individual routine and goals, but no matter your lifestyle, FUUL offers a convenient, tasty way to fuel your body when you need it.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast, refueling after a workout, or needing a protein boost throughout the day, FUUL fits seamlessly into your day without fuss.
