And so after that, you have your second exercise session.

So it's not about what should go first, but it's a consistency of training and meals in between.

And the training will make your meals more efficient in how they optimize muscle reconditioning.

I mean, this is a cool study, but I think if there's differences, they will be too small to pick up.

That's one.

If you would have each of those meals would have 20 grams, so depending on total protein intake, if you do, for example, 5 times 20 or 2 times 50, does that make sense?

I don't think you'll find any difference there.

If you would do, I would be more or less sure about my case, if you would do 20 times 5 grams versus 3 times 33.3.

Okay.

Maybe there's a difference that you don't reach that so-called leucine threshold.

But to be honest, if there's the day before there's physical activity, a good training session, if the lag's involved, I'm not so sure whether we would be able to pick up a difference there.

Rather not worry about that, but don't miss that training session.

You have to have training.

The more people talk about nutrition, the less they're actually doing the training.

That's what you'll often see.

I know.

Dairy.

Not measurable, but of course, I mean, if you assess muscle protein synthesis, if you get whole foods in,

from an animal based, you might get a little bit more sluggish response saying the increase in circulating essential amino acids and leucine in particular will be less rapid than when you actually ingest, say, 300 mils of a protein shake with the protein isolate or the protein concentrate.

But we will never be able to actually pick up those differences because they will be very, very, very minimal.
