@felicitypenny Some research finds it's best right after the exercise (replenishes the stores). Some evidence found it's best just before or just after. The difference is small tho. If taking it in the morning keeps you consistent, that's FAR better than being inconsistent but taking it at the...

@newbee3 Yes, absolutely. Protein is often overstated as a factor. Of course you need some, but the amounts are overstated. Unless your goal is top level elite full-time bodybuilder, then as long as you have progressive overload, volume, good training, good sleep, etc. these are far more...

@grampster It all depends on your goals. If your goals are to maximise muscle growth, then sure, aim for the higher ones. More protein does not hurt, but it can be difficult. Also, I think you mean 0.8-1g per lb of lean body mass btw. That would lead you to the similar ball park figure of around...

@tripp1523 No, it’s not that dire. Here’s one meta analysis on the actual results. The difference between muscle growth is ‘significant’ in terms a study. It’s not that significant as a factor. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33670701/ Strength, absolute muscle mass growth are the same. Lean...

@kenhui So you’re about 60kg right? Yeah if you want to absolutely optimise muscle growth, you may want 80-100g of protein. But absolutely you can grow muscle with less. It depends on your goals. I’m guessing your goals aren’t to be as jacked as possible - and thus steroids and sleep schedule...

@ready123 Yeah one meal a day is clearly not enough, especially as you're lifting and need MORE macros. Shakes can be useful. I put protein powder and a shit ton of fruit in mine. 3x bananas, a good chunk of berries, and some soy milk if I haven't run out. You can easily put a bunch of nuts in...
