“therefore the second meal is really not necess necessarily a muscle protein synthetic response I can't say that that's supported in the literature but where the benefit of that is is that we know that more than one meal of that robust amount of protein will likely have better outcomes on this 24-hour um protein response 24-hour nitrogen balance but that second meal would be just about getting your protein in it doesn't matter if it's you know if you have to hit your need of say 200 gram of protein then that middle meal the real goal for that metabolically is to get enough protein to meet that 1 gram per pound ideal body weight”
