Muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is one of the most researched areas of sports and nutritional science so when muscle gain is on the ‘do to’ list, most people know that they are going to have up their protein intake game.
After all, protein is the main building block of muscle. And yet many people are leaving potential gains on the gym floor by just looking at total daily protein intake alone. However, the research is clear- it’s not just about total protein intake. Total daily protein is critical for muscle mass accretion, but the timing and dose of protein per meal are equally as important if you want to make the most of your anabolic potential. If you are serious about ticking ‘build muscle’ off your to-do list, then looking at how you map out your daily protein intake is critical.
