Importance of protein nutrition for body recomposition
Protein nutrition plays a crucial role in body recomposition, which involves reducing body fat while maintaining or gaining lean muscle mass. By prioritizing protein intake, individuals can support muscle growth and recovery. This is especially important for those in a catabolic state, such as during weight loss, to protect muscle mass and prevent excessive breakdown. Research shows that consuming around 30-55 grams of protein per meal optimizes muscle protein synthesis, with a target of 35 grams recommended for breakfast. Protein intake at breakfast is particularly beneficial as it helps offset the catabolic state that occurs overnight and jumpstarts the recovery process.
