Protein spacing

[Hyperfluxe]

So it's a waste to consume a 3 scoop protein shake all at once (75g protonz)? Since only some of the protein will be used for MPS, and the rest will be converted to sugar via gluconeogenesis correct?

Jordan, this sentence makes it sound as though someone performing novice linear progression and purposefully gaining weight would benefit greatly from a protein shake alongside breakfast in order to help maximize muscle growth. Is this a reasonable assumption and/or worth considering?

If your breakfast or total daily protein intake is low then yes, a protein shake would help. So would just eating more protein, in general.

Or be oxidized to create energy or float around in the blood stream waiting for processes requiring amino acids.
