Optimal Protein Intake: How Much and When?
For muscle gain, aim for 1.6 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.
This range is well-supported by research for maximizing muscle protein synthesis. Spreading your protein intake throughout the day (e.g., 3-5 meals with 20-40g protein) is more beneficial than consuming it all at once, as it provides a sustained amino acid supply for muscle repair and growth. Don't forget a protein source before bed!
