INSIGHT

Protein Use vs. Absorption

  • Protein absorption isn't the limiting factor for muscle growth, but rather how much the body can utilize.
  • Focus on how much protein your body can use, not just how much you can digest.
INSIGHT

100g Protein Study

  • A recent study challenged previous beliefs by showing 100g of protein had a greater muscle-building effect than 25g.
  • This suggests the body can use more protein per meal than previously thought.
ADVICE

Missed Meals

  • Don't stress over missed protein feedings, as the anabolic window is longer than previously believed.
  • Make up for missed meals later and prioritize total daily protein intake.
