The biggest myth is that they have the hierarchy of importance all screwed up.
Like everybody's worried about how much protein per meal you need to have for this or that goal.
When do you need to time protein relative to the training bout or waking or sleeping or all that stuff?
The main thing they need to be focused on is how much protein do they need to eat by the end of the day?
Because when you hit that goal,
You've basically won the whole game.
The relative placement, the distribution and the doses of the protein, the timing of it.
Oh man, it rarely matters.
It rarely matters beyond getting that protein in in a way that's comfortable and convenient for you and in such a way that you can stick to in the long term.
Some people are more like grazers.
Some people are more like gorgers.
They're both fine as long as you hit the total by the end of the day.
So the hierarchy is of utmost importance, get your total daily protein.
And then of secondary importance would be what is the distribution of the constituent doses of that protein total through the day.
And then a third importance down here is like, when specifically are you supposed to time that protein around the training bout?
So yeah, the way that I put it is like this.
The daily total for protein, that is the cake.
The distribution of the doses through the day, that's the icing on the cake.
And it's a very thin layer of icing.
The reason that we know that distribution doesn't matter as much as the total is through a couple lines of evidence that I can think of.
