Importance of Protein Distribution for Muscle Health
Protein distribution throughout the day plays a crucial role in maintaining muscle health, especially in older adults. Research indicates that younger adults can stimulate muscle protein synthesis with smaller meals, whereas older adults require higher amounts of protein, particularly leucine, to trigger protein synthesis. The timing and composition of protein intake, especially at breakfast, are shown to impact muscle protein synthesis and overall muscle health.
