>The rationale for the minimum meal frequency of 4 crucially rests on the body’s limited capacity to increase muscle protein synthesis after a single meal, a phenomenon know as the muscle-full effect. This anabolic ceiling seems to be quite low: it takes just 20 grams of protein in many studies before the body says “That’s enough protein right there, bro!” and uses all further amino acids for energy production rather than protein synthesis. Stop eating 90g of protein per meal Jow Forums. It's wasteful.
>With an anabolic ceiling of about 0.4 g protein per kg bodyweight (0.18 g/lb) and the knowledge that you need 1.6 g/kg protein per day for maximum muscle growth, the authors conclude you need to divide your protein intake over at least 1.6 / 0.4 = 4 meals a day to get maximum muscle protein synthesis and growth. 1.6g/kg is enough
who gives a fuck homo food with a lot of protein tastes good lol

This is one of those rare gems of actual information - actual *useful* information - that makes coming to Jow Forums worth it still. The memes alone can only do so much to prop up this board, but every now and then there’s something like this.
Pretty sure I do this coincidentally already, but I’ll definitely double check now and make sure. Thanks OP

I bet that cheeseburger tastes good fatty

If you want actual evidence-based fitness information I recommend reading articles on Bayesian Bodybuilding as well as from other *actual* scientific experts like Alan Aragon. Don't like plebbit but Jow ForumsAdvancedFitness has some good stuff too, from actual fitness studies.
So is eating a couple small meals a day better for muscle gain than eating 1 or 2 big meals? It seems like this would be the case since people lose weight via intermittent fasting..
Jeremiah Nguyen
post body. It's always dyels that say you don't need much protein.
The best thing for muscle gain is like 5-6 meals every 2-3 hours. Usually like 20-40 games of protein each meal depending on height/weight.
Kevin Jackson
OP isnt saying to eat less protein dumbass, he's saying that you have to have multiple meals to make up your protein instead of 1-2 meals.
Grayson Perry
Menno Henselmans wrote the article. I've only recently started following his advice. Besides trusting the information of buff guys who probably owe 90% of their progress to steroids is literally just believing broscience.
So what if im eating 10z of grilled chikan for dinner with brocs and rice And other small meals throughout the day (not junk food) to reach my macros. Plus proton shakes Is this a waste. Will i die.
Cooper Miller
Jow Forumstards like you need to stop saying dyel. your "gains"(which don't matter in a real fight) is not a justification for autistic broscience. literally no other scientific field runs under the assumption that physical appearance of the one making the claim = credibility.
Grayson Brown
One of my cousins got super huge eating 5-6 meals a day, I'll have to start doing that
Brandon Young
t. skinny dyel Name me one person throughout history that didn’t stuff their fucking face with protein at every meal and lift a fuckton all day >muh shitty exercise/diet science done on untrained individuals and pregnant women
Wyatt Fisher
Except that protein itself is flavorless. The taste comes from free amino acids nucleotides, acids, minerals, sugars and small volatile molecules. These compounds aren't exclusive to just protein based food and flavours can be added to enhance non protein food taste.

It shows in your high bf
Isaiah Jones
you're thinking of fats. we have protein receptors in our tongue, but not fat receptors. it's the reason why the concept of neutral oil even exists.

There are many types of proteins made up of different t amino acids that all digest at different rates. Unless you can actually be eating small meals every 3 hours, it’s best to mix different protein sources so your body is always breaking them down and feeding you. OP study doesn’t mention that at all.
You’re a literal sub 100iq bottom feeder
David Gomez
No we don't have protein receptors. Please eat a block of tofu or fresh mozzarella without salt and tell me if it tastes of anything, or just plain casien protein. We can only detect free amino acids. That's why cured meats taste good, because proteases have broken the peptide bonds creating free amino acids. That's what you associate with meat flavour.
Isaiah Young
Post max bench and average grams of protein per day >295lbs >200g/day
Benjamin Miller
everybody's stuntin' on the Gram these days, brah, u playin' lol
Andrew Bailey
so you're saying tofu and mozz lack flavor because our bodies can't detect free amino acids? care to elaborate, science man?
Sebastian Campbell
Yes it does, you didn't even read the fucking study. >ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29497353 >The implication is that accompanying macronutrients’ potential to alter digestion rates does not necessarily translate to alterations in the anabolic effect of the protein feeding – at least in the case of slow-digesting protein such as casein. More fat and/or carbohydrate coingestion comparisons need to be made with other proteins, subject profiles, and relative proximity to training before drawing definitive conclusions.
Jace Butler
are you so gullible that you'll just believe anything just because you read it here on Jow Forums?
Jeremiah Wood
Your taste buds cannot detect the flavour of long chain polypeptides. Only amino acids. How is this hard to understand.
Owen James
I’ve been bulking for the last 6 months and am still probably leaner than you
but you won’t post your physique and are going to keep replying with gay ass responses that are obvious troll so I’m just going to enjoy my Thai for dinner
suck my cock bitch
William Sullivan
I didn't go to college bro, I'm just curious about what you're talking about. I'm not arguing with you. Tell me about peptides, what are they?
Kayden Ross
how
Ryan Gutierrez
>Consumption of slower-acting protein sources, particularly when consumed in combination with other macronutrients, would delay absorption and thus conceivably enhance the utilization of the constituent amino acids.
Noah Rogers
This essentially means more research needs to be done with other types of protein. It doesn't discard the results of the study.
Carter Roberts
Cheeseburgers don't actually make you fat, fucking pleb.
Matthew Edwards
Your typical american cheeseburger has high calorie density. If your total amount of meals has more calories than you burn then cheeseburgers will definitely make you fat.
Henry Fisher
.75g/lb is the lower threshold, 1g/lb is the upper threshold. meal timings do not matter. one meal or six, as long as you get the protein in, you're good to go.
Easton Mitchell
I saw this shit on Ifunny. Laughed so fucking hard.
Liam Hernandez
bayesian is like 2005 stuff. Its not rare at all and in most cases debunked. No one should be maximizing/ optimizing fitness. Theres just no point and long term consistency is all that matters. People get burnt out eating 4 or more perfect balanced meals per day when it does not even make a significant impact in the long run.
Just make fitness fun, do something that brings you back to the gym, dont burn yourself out doing this old ass debunked research.
Almost anyone you meet irl moving mountains and looking fucking good will agree with me
