Consuming between 0.4 to 0.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per meal is sufficient to maximize muscle protein synthesis.

“My colleague, Brad Schoenfeld, and I, we scoured the literature, and we wrote this paper on 'What is the maximal anabolic dose of protein per meal for the goal of muscle building?' And we boiled it down to somewhere between 0.4 to roughly 0.6 grams per kilogram of body weight.”

Omega-3 fatty acids improve the muscle's protein synthetic response to protein feeding, which may be beneficial during periods of disuse or for older adults.

“consistent with the previous work by patina mittendorfer's group and Gordon Smith we found that in the omega-3 group there was higher rates of protein synthesis in it uh which would which would kind of again corroborate the mechanisms of action of Omega-3s which is to enhance the pretty-synthetic re”
