So I’m a 6’4’', 230 pound rascal and try to take in at least 220 grams of protein per day (I lift weights and do CV conditioning)
I am aware of the refractory period of muscle protein synthesis, but sometimes I don’t have time for 4 meals consisting of 55 grams of protein (or 5 of 44 etc.) which are cca. 3 hours apart.
Often times, I ingest more than 100 grams of protein per meal (a pound of meat) and again, I know what the research suggests about MPS.
My question as a novice lifter is: in your experience with working with clients, does it make a significant difference on the average in terms of muscle mass and/or strength performance gains?
I don’t like suboptimal conditions but sometimes that’s the brakes.
Thanks in advance.

T,
This is one of those issues that I think doesn’t matter at all.
Carry on.
