Hello, how much grams of protein do you have to consume to activate your protein biosynthesis? Thanks alot in advance
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.
