if I slug that 25 grams of whey protein as I'm walking out of the gym I will get more of my 100 units of response then but I will get less of it four or five hours later when I have a big protein lunch

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
if there is a window of opportunity then if you give 60 grams of protein immediately after exercise maybe you shorten the window of opportunity so if you already provided the exercise after after the session you don't respond as well to the the next dinner the next morning
the other trial was no protein after the exercise and doing the same thing in the morning I thought that the response to breakfast would be reduced if you already ingested that 60 grams of protein in the evening it didn't the responses were exactly the same to my surprise
