“Modern assessments indicate that aiming for 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight will likely provide the greatest benefit, potentially preventing age-related muscle losses. Diet alone won't help you build and maintain muscle.”

“Eating before exercise, especially carbohydrates, can dampen some of these cellular signals. For example, fed-state workouts reduce activation of enzymes and proteins involved in fat metabolism and energy regulation compared to fasted workouts.”

“In part one of this two-part Aliquot, Dr. Stuart Phillips and I talk about the role of nutrients and supplements in promoting muscle protein synthesis and subsequent increases in muscle mass and strength.”

“Eating enough protein to optimize muscle protein synthesis "Leucine is the amino acid that seems to kick-start the muscle-growth process." - Brad Schoenfeld, Ph.D. Judicious food choices are important for recomp, as well, with special emphasis on protein-rich foods.”

“Unfortunately, most people don't have access to a home sauna, and during these unprecedented times shelter-in-place orders have made it impossible to use public saunas. However, other modalities of heat stress such as hot baths and exercise have been shown to increase heat shock proteins.”

“A meta-analysis of resistance-training trials found that protein supplementation produced modest additional gains in strength and fat-free mass, with average fat-free-mass benefit plateauing near 1.62 g/kg/day. This is a group estimate, not a precise requirement for every older adult.”

“Dr. Bikman and Dr. Patrick also discuss protein and meal composition. In an acute crossover study of ten resistance-trained young men, whole eggs stimulated more post-exercise muscle protein synthesis than egg whites providing the same amount of protein.”

“When cells run out of a vitamin or mineral, that scarce micronutrient is allotted to proteins (in the body) essential for short-term survival. Proteins needed for long-term health, including those that protect DNA, lose out and become disabled and lead to diseases of aging.”
