This is a video about Jorn Trommelen’s recent paper: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38118410/

The gist of it is that they compared 25g protein meals vs 100g protein meals, and while you do use less of it for muscle protein synthesis at that quantity, it’s a very minor difference. So the old adage still holds: Protein quantity is much more important than timing.

While we’re at it, I’d also like to share an older but very comprehensive overview of protein intake by the same author: strongerbyscience.com/athlete-protein-intake/

That’s a slightly misleading title. The curve flattens out around 1,6g/kg of body mass per day

The video you linked to is about per-day protein intake. Mine is about per-meal protein intake.

Which is why I noted it as per day in the hyperlink.

My point is that just because your body can productively process 100g protein in a single meal, doesn’t mean it scales that far beyond that. If you weigh 70kg, that’s an upper bound of 112g of protein per day.
