Diet and protein intake for muscle synthesis - Deepstash

Diet and protein intake for muscle synthesis

  • Consume 1.6 - 2.6g protein/ kilogram of lean body mass.
  • Start your day with protein. Consider a protein shake instead of milk in cereal.
  • Make small changes to increase protein in meals. The less you can change, the better.
  • Low fat can impair testosterone levels, which may impact levels of lean body mass.
  • There is no perfect diet; there are tradeoffs for everything. For example, a Keto diet is acceptable if you’re training at 65% of VO2 max, but you’ll have lower strength accrual if it's higher.
  • Supplementing for hypertrophy training: whey tends to be most digestible.
