How much protein can you absorb per meal? - With Dietician Astrid Naranjo - Ep. 82

Fit to Transform Podcast with Coach Nikias

02-02-2024 • 58 mins

Astrid Naranjo is a clinical dietician and nutritionist, a nutrition coach for Team Biolayne, and a writer for Weightology.


Starting from a recent study on protein that Astrid reviewed for the January issue of Weightology, we covered a number of protein-related questions:


  • Can your body only absorb 30g of protein at every meal?
  • What’s the optimal timing for protein after training?
  • Do you need to worry about leucine to maximise MPS?


So tune in for a deep-dive into protein for muscle growth.
