[danielalexandre]

I already knew this but I'm happy you are sharing it with more people
And for anyone that doubts this just try it
I saw an increase in muscle mass In just two months

[sarahflynn]

I have been getting protein in most on days I rest, actually. I legit had a two inch increase in muscle (body weight didn't really change much) in just over a month of solid weight training and keeping a muscle-building friendly diet.

Thannks for the video, you explained it better than

[NeenjaFruitcup]

Now I feel better about my protein pancakes for breakfast. I just felt extra, but they've got a full scoop of protein powder and some other sources like egg with berries on top. Attacks the cravings before they hit.

[diamonddeuce]

I take the same amount of protein everyday but I appreciate this video for the knowledge. Good to know I'm more or less doing the right thing haha.😊

If your muscles grow during sleep, isn't evening snack the most important meal to get enough protein?

[ufortunesglobal]

Please do a video about intermittent pasting!

[realitywithmj]

food has different rates of digestion and absorption. whey is absorbed in a matter of hours and meat like steak can take a day to digest and absorb so timing of protein consumption doesn't matter as much as thinking about your daily consumption of protein so don't stress about eating every 3-4 hours. the main meal is after your training when you need to consume the most protein. eating a fat steak will provide your body with a steady supply of aminos for a long time.

[peterpan]

This is why I crave a protein hit 6am, 9am, 12, and 3pm 💪

[EvaSchmedes]

I have a question! When you said that after you stimulated your MPS (by eating protein) you have to wait about 3 hours before stimulating it again (by eating protein) is this only when you stimulate it to the max or is it just when you eat a little bit of protein? I hope that made sense

[reax._]

this was amazing and helped me a lot, couldve been building way more muscle :/, will split my protein intake in 3 meals a day now (used to be only one lol)

[aaal]

First timer here. Someone please help, can I take protein shakes/powder on empty stomach? Like first thing in the morning? And like when I'm on my rest day?

[lilCaribbean]

OMYGOSH ° I stopped taking Protein/Collagen shake to rest a couple weeks. Body aches hurt SO bad 1st week. 2nd, stil hurt; but not as bad as 1st. What in the world does this mean? Is/waa my body addicted? Is addiction part of this?
** PS ** I don't work out for muscle, just walk, stretch daily and 3x per week do high impact exercise...

[williamburns-uwgf]

You mentioned 3 hours' for MPS but I take protein every 4 hours, so am I better every 3 hours on a 5-day split routine (weekend's off)

[nikitareich]

Protein powder every day? Yes or no? And how often a day?

[jeffreymonahan]

Preemo you’ve done a great job here thanks so much

[xaviorboy]

is it good for taking whey without training
