Research shows 20-40g of protein per meal maximally stimulates muscle protein synthesis. Spacing meals 3-5 hours apart allows MPS to reset between feedings. Include a slow-digesting protein (casein) before bed for overnight muscle repair.
The "anabolic window" is longer than once thought. While getting protein within 2 hours post-workout is ideal, total daily protein intake matters more than precise timing. Focus on consistent protein intake throughout the day.
These recommendations are general guidelines. Individual needs vary based on training intensity, body composition goals, and digestive tolerance. Very high protein intakes (>2.5g/kg) haven't shown additional benefits for most people.
