So we used it during our weight loss studies and we found it very effective to make that first meal a focal point.

So again, perfectly healthy, physically active individual in their 50s probably doesn't make much difference.

Are they better off having one massive protein meal or distributing through the day?

I think there's quite a bit of research to suggest that.

Your efficiency of use of protein at a meal probably tops out around 60 grams at a meal.

So, you know, is an 8-ounce steak the optimum?

You probably don't need a 16-ounce steak.

So, you know, I think distribution, as you go to higher and more protein, I think having it in multiple meals probably makes sense.

I mean, as we said earlier, nearly 75% of Americans are overweight.

And so

The satiety aspect of protein is important.

The thermogenic aspect of protein is important.

I think meal distribution does come into play on that.

What people have looked at is purely lean mass.

Does the distribution directly relate to lean mass?

Not very well.

But it probably does relate to body composition.

It relates to, Heather Lighty has shown it relates to snacking desires.

We think it's really important associated with weight control and things like that.

And the thermogenic effect, people don't really understand it.
