Probably a topic that everyone interested in building muscle has thought about. Overall a good overview to commonly asked questions/ beliefs.
Take away:
- Every meal should have a serving of high quality protein
- Protein is thermogenic and provides more satiety, when compared to other macronutrients (Carbs and Fats)
- Good rule of thumb for protein consumption: 2.2g per kg or 1g per 1 lbs of lean body mass
- You will absorb almost all the protein that you consume
Hope you learned something.
