Answer

In order to activate muscle protein synthesis, it will be enough to eat 1.5 g / kg of body weight. But for muscle protein synthesis, it is still important to not eat “how much”, but when. It is important to eat regularly, 20-40 g of protein per meal (depending on your body weight and FFM). It is also important to eat 0.3-0.4 g of protein per kg of your body weight in the first 30-40 minutes after workout, plus another 20-40 g of protein (depending on your weight) after 2 hours.
