                                According to a 2017 study in the *Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition*, consuming protein approximately 30 minutes before resistance exercise can increase muscle protein synthesis. The timing is key, as eating eggs too close to a run can lead to discomfort, but with the right interval, they offer valuable fuel. So, how long to wait after eating eggs before running depends on multiple factors, including meal size, composition, and run intensity.
