Optimizing Protein Intake for Muscle Growth

This chapter delves into the myth that the body can only absorb 20 grams of protein per meal and explores the varying absorption rates of protein sources. It discusses the role of factors like exercise, timing of protein intake, and testosterone levels in muscle protein synthesis and provides practical advice for protein targets per meal and overall daily intake for maximizing muscle gains. The conversation also covers the implications of excessive protein consumption on weight gain and delves into the psychological aspects of setting protein goals and the power of expectations on physical performance.
