Hi, Mike! Thanks for taking the time and for all that you do.

Can you please clarify some apparent conflicting information regarding protein timing and pre/post workout nutrition?

In your protein timing video, you say that studies show that for muscle building purposes, the body processes roughly 30 grams of protein in 3 hours but that anymore brings about diminishing returns. However, if I recall correctly, you suggest having up to 40 grams of protein about 30 minutes before training and 40-50 grams of protein post-workout to ensure to ensure that we are stimulating maximum protein synthesis. Isn't this somewhat of a contradiction?

Thanks!

Thanks for the response!

I'm presuming there isn't a catchall but at what age would you suggest we consider upping the amount to 40 grams to maximally stimulate protein synthesis?
