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 –
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.
So there's Yasuda who compared a three-meal model with a two-meal model.
And the three-meal model had superior effects for muscle gain.
But there is a study that was just published, gosh, within the last month.
It was better from a methodology standpoint because they fed the subjects an abundance of protein.
So Yasuda and colleagues who tested the two versus three, he totaled everybody out at
1.3 grams per kilogram of body weight per day.
That's a total daily protein dose.
And so we know now that that's a suboptimal total if you want to push muscle growth.
