Episode notes
Protein Prioritization
- Prioritize animal-based protein sources like whey, eggs, beef, and chicken, especially if your protein intake is below one gram per pound of body weight.
- These sources have better amino acid profiles and bioavailability for muscle protein synthesis.

- Setting a higher protein target, like one gram per pound of body weight, helps ensure adequate intake for most individuals.
