"Breaking the Protein Paradigm: New Study Shakes Up Dietary Norms"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Trail Runner Magazine
A new study challenges the conventional wisdom on protein consumption, suggesting that there may be no upper limit to the anabolic response to protein ingestion in humans. The study found that ingesting a single large amount of protein resulted in a prolonged anabolic response, obviating the need for consuming another protein-rich meal in close proximity. The researchers also observed that higher protein intake did not lead to a disproportionate increase in amino acid oxidation. While the study is intriguing, further research is needed to replicate the findings and explore unanswered questions regarding the use of milk protein, different protein doses and timing, and the impact on different age groups and activity levels.
