Protein intake and protein absorption
Have a goal of consuming 1g of protein per pound of body weight per day especially if you’re exercising. If you’re 160lbs consume 160g of protein.
Muscle protein absorption is limited to around 40-50g per sitting. This means you need to consume 40g of protein 4 times throughout the day.
Don’t try to consume it all in one or two sittings as your body will process much of it for energy rather than for building muscle.
