11 Common Mistakes People Make with Time-Restricted Eating

Mistake 6: Not Adjusting for Physical Activity Levels

Time-restricted eating should be tailored to fit your lifestyle, including your physical activity levels. A common mistake is not adjusting your eating window or meal composition to accommodate exercise routines. Active individuals may require more calories and nutrients to support their energy expenditure and muscle recovery. Failing to adjust can lead to fatigue and hinder performance. Consider aligning your eating window to coincide with your workout schedule, ensuring you consume adequate nutrients pre- and post-exercise. By aligning your TRE with your physical activity, you can optimize performance and recovery, maximizing the benefits of both.
