Spread protein consumption
This is the question that nutritionist Kelly Jones tries to answer in the columns of the magazine Women’s Health. According to this specialist, “Research shows that splitting protein intake approximately every three to four hours in moderate doses rather than large amounts at a time is associated with more optimal muscle repair and, for those seeking growth, more optimal growth also”.
Rather than concentrating protein intake on a single meal, she therefore advises spreading it throughout the meals and snacks of the day.. Distributing protein consumption evenly between the different meals of the day can therefore be a good idea. A point emphasized by researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch, explaining that this eating behavior “stimulates muscle protein synthesis more effectively over 24 hours”.
