Best Recovery Supplements for Intermittent Fasting Athletes
I have been doing a 16 and 8 fasting schedule and I usually train in the morning while still fasted. I am looking for the best recovery supplements for intermittent fasting athletes that do not break the fast. I am in Canada and I want to make sure I am not ruining my progress.
I have been taking BCAAs but I have heard mixed things about whether they cause an insulin spike. I am also wondering if taking my magnesium and zinc during my eating window is as effective as taking them right before bed. I want to keep my muscle mass while staying in a fat burning state.
What is your supplement strategy when you are fasting? I am specifically looking for products that are zero calorie and keto friendly. I would appreciate any advice on how to time your recovery nutrients around your fasting window for the best results!
