Your muscles don’t suddenly stop absorbing protein after 40g, and there isn’t some “anabolic window” that slams shut right after your workout. What actually matters is your total protein across the day. This becomes even more important when you’re in a calorie deficit. Adequate protein helps preserve lean muscle mass while dieting and it’s also the most satiating macronutrient, which helps you stay fuller and stick to the plan. A simple target: eat about your bodyweight in grams of protein per day. If you weigh 180 lbs, aim for roughly 180g spread across meals. Your body digests and utilizes protein over hours, not minutes. Also, if protein shakes upset your stomach, it may not be the protein itself—it could be the type. Many people are mildly lactose intolerant and don’t tolerate whey well. In that case, try alternatives like egg, beef isolate, or plant-based proteins and see how your digestion responds. Focus less on the timing. Focus more on consistency and total intake. truenutrition CODE: GLADIATORDAN ontargetliving CODE: DANIEL10 DM for Coaching #proteinintake #strengthtraining #nutritiontips #buildmuscle #fitnesseducation
