#299 ‒ Optimizing muscle protein synthesis: the crucial impact of protein quality and quantity, and the key role of resistance training | Luc van Loon, Ph.D.
“It’s the exercise that makes you respond way more to the same or less amount of protein that you ingest.” —Luc van Loon
Optimizing protein quantity, distribution, and quality
Maximizing muscle protein synthesis is more than a matter of daily protein intake. How we distribute protein throughout the day matters, as does protein quality.
New insights on maximizing protein utilization for muscle protein synthesis
A new study adds nuance – rather than contradictions – to conventional wisdom on protein intake patterns for maximal anabolic response
#242 – AMA #44: Peter’s historical changes in body composition with his evolving dietary, fasting, and training protocols
“Trends matter. You’re treating what you see, but you’re mindful of the trends.” —Peter Attia
#239 ‒ The science of strength, muscle, and training for longevity | Andy Galpin, Ph.D. (PART I)
“The atrophy of fast-twitch fibers is almost exclusively the problem with aging and muscle.” —Andy Galpin
#235 ‒ Training principles for mass and strength, changing views on nutrition, creatine supplementation, and more | Layne Norton, Ph.D.
“Most 40 year olds, 50 year olds, they have pain anyway. So I’d rather be strong and have pain than be weak and have pain.” —Layne Norton
#228 ‒ Improving body composition, female-specific training principles, and overcoming an eating disorder | Holly Baxter, APD
“You will always lose muscle mass when you attempt a fat-loss phase, but the leaner you get, the greater the risk of that muscle loss because you no longer have that caloric cushioning to support that.” —Holly Baxter
#227 – AMA #40: Body composition, protein, time-restricted feeding, fasting, DEXA scans, and more
“We don’t want to be consuming protein for energy purposes at all. We want to be consuming protein for muscle protein synthesis.” —Peter Attia
