Protein distribution across meals may matter slightly for muscle and strength gains, even if total daily protein intake is the primary driver.

“and so for me I'm going to distribute my protein probably over four to five meals per day right”

“but again you inject me with true serum I think it probably does matter a little bit right now does it matter as much as total protein absolutely not”

“if you're well trained you basically training the same way and you've been doing it for six months I don't see any effect difference between having protein within two hours after exercise versus just having your three or four meals per day you won't see any difference in either mass or strength”

“once you get to a point where you're well trained enough you don't have to be so maniacal about meal timing you can just focus on the big picture which is total protein protein quality and spreading it out such that you don't exceed the metabolizable fraction of it at anyone sitting”

“there's been some research, even longitudinal research, that backs this up, that you get better utilization of protein if it's spread out, let's say, at least over three meals relatively spaced.”
