What Happens to Excessive Protein After a Meal?

[@Snerdles]

There was an interesting bit of information in that study regarding how much protein actually made it in to muscle tissue and it looked like the smaller protein group was more efficient using the amount consumed. It would be really great if someone were to replicate this study but also use a condition that has 25g 4 times, at 0, 3, 6, and 9 hours to see if that holds up and is more efficient than 100g at 0 hours.

[@josephrigley8974]

It's not a surprising result tbh, animals need to be able to process proteins efficiently when they get them and in nature theres no guarantee on the timing or amounts so just being better at it overall is something that you would expect to naturally evolve.

[@oceanmangg]

That's what my brosciencrbro argument was when I heard that there's some kinda limit to absorption, it makes no sense, protein is like gold or platinum for the body why would it not make accomodation for more of it

[@grossmask]

Nice Study Wolf! Loved this!

[@g0aky]

Do you think this is different if the 100g of protein, instead of milk, is taken as a fast-digesting protein shake like whey? Some days it's easier to just get the majority of my protein from one or two shakes because that allows me to be more flexible. I take pea protein, though, but I guess that's still relatively fast-digesting compared to a real meal.

[@InternetYesterday]

I think the entire point of the study in the video was to show the novel technique, which allowed them to take measurements for 12 hours. So, the answer doesn't exist yet? Studies I could find showed pea protein is similar to milk for the first 4 hours.

[@Balorng]

Milk protein is mostly casein, which is one of the slowest proteins out there, while something like EAA powder is *extremely* fast. If you eat protein with fiber and fat, they will get "slower" as well, while a shake "hits the spot" instantly. The studies that suggest that using more than 40g of protein is useless used whey shakes and you know what, they are right. So is this study. There is no single number.

[@mikafoxx2717]

​@@Balorngdid the 40g measure the full time required, and also do this after exercise? Protein synthesis won't be any higher with more protein if you don't stimulate it to use everything it can.

If eating right before bed negatively effects your sleep, there is nothing wrong with setting up your meal times so that you eat a few hours before bed. As we see from this video, we used to be very particular about getting protein in before bed. Usually a slow digesting casein. But turns out as long as your overall protein is high, that protein synthesis effect will be carried longer.

[@bigfoot14eee99]

So, what happens about like 300g of protein in a day? Does it keep being distributed for like, the two next days?

[@Yupppi]

Who knows but based on other studies it doesn't do a thing for muscle building if it's the regular intake. I actually wondered a similar thing this week. Since a lot of energy demands are discussed more in terms of weekly schedule than daily schedule these days, would it be out of this world to think that having a very skewed protein intake days from little to a lot didn't hurt the gains that much if the weekly intake is the same. The only thing I could think regarding that is how the increased muscle protein synthesis seems to happen maybe at best 48 hours from training so perhaps that's the limitation, but 48 hours is a long time to vary the protein intake. And we're assumedly still talking about average, it might just be that depending on conditions you might still benefit longer for the training induced muscle protein synthesis. Would be happy to hear more educated takes on it or if there's research regarding that.

[@amorfati4927]

There is going to be some kind of limit of usage until the body turns it into fat and/or removes it from the body. If there wasn’t than no one would be fat because your body is just always waiting to use that energy without really storing it.

[@YaYippieYeah]

Unlkely, my guess is the greater distribrituion in the 100g group can mostly explained by slower digestion.

[@ericmeyer7697]

So I guess it says if your protein grams per day are 150, you could eat 100 in the morning and 50 at dinner and that’s the same impact for muscle synthesis as 40/40/40 meals + a 30 gram shake before bed or something. Even though he recommends the latter approach, his research shows you have the flexibility to do the former, if preferred.

[@frankjames6276]

probably not going to amount to much. But the study in question only compared 25 to 100. the 100g had 13% go to muscle, while the 25g had 17%. if you ate 25g x 4 across the day, would it have been 4x17% and be slightly higher then the single dose? Who knows. If it did, and it added ~3% units more, would anyone realistically notice? Would it ultimately add up to a real difference. Probably not.

[@mikafoxx2717]

​@@frankjames6276yes, but also there's the fine print of tracer amino reuse over 12hrs and also the fact that 100g muscle synthesis wasn't yet done after the 12hr study window.

The constant eating multiple times per day was a marketting tactic to sell more protein supplements. If we are led to believe our protein needs to be spread out, then we are more likely to opt for convenience such as protein shakes.

If the study used milk protein, much of which is casein, how much of this effect can be explained by casein's slow absorption? How sure are we it's broadly applicable to protein?

Casein is not even a very slow absorbing protein in general. The whole thing about casein is pretty much misinterpreted based on a comparison with whey. Don't worry about that.

There is one but very important step missing, concernig protein digestion. It is Point No. 4. After The Amino Acids entered the venous Blood out of the smal intestines they are directet to the liver. The Livere then stores them, or makes glucose out of them or releases them into the vena cava inferior. The Liver will maintain a steady amount of Aminos in your Blood. Otherwise there would be some severe Health Issues to deal with.

[@KanarisTwitch]

I'm surprised the "distribution" group was still set up as only a single 25 g meal. I would've thought the most natural and realistic comparison would be 4x25 g in one day vs 1x100 g in one day. I think the conclusions made here might have been very different in that case (in favour of the distributed protein intake). Maybe something to check in future studies?

[@Krater84]

00:07:13 This is very interesting .... it sounds like protein is (almost) not metabolized into fat past certain threshold? That is the implication I get from Prof. Tromlin saying that out of 20 grams of extra protein, 2 grams will be oxidized and 18 will be reserved for anabolic metabolism pathways. Am I reading too much into it?

[@kban77]

I would like to see a similar study but with another 2 groups with more (or too much) calories. This would be to see if oxidation rates would elevate. In the real study, was oxidation Not elevated cuz the caloric needs were matched or at needed levels and not surplus?

[@JohnTCampbell1986]

I never understood it from an evolutionary perspective. Throughout all of human history until the last 5 minutes (evolutionarily spekaing) we would have had periods of days at a time without protein, then we'd get a successful hunt, and due to lack of refrigeration and preservation, likely eat the entire deer over the course of a day. It simply doesnt make sense that we would have made it here today if we couldn't use it. I went Animal Based+OMAD (180-250g of protein in a single meal), dropped from 328-183lb in under a year and lost no muscle or strength. I sure as hell didn't gain much, but didn't lose any, certainly not any appreciable amounts.

The study uses milk protein, which is slower digesting (as you mention). Is this total protein intake approach affected by the type of protein and rate of absorption/digestion? For example, if it was 100g of whey isolate instead of milk in its whole food matrix, would more protein be lost to energy substrates?

[@Yupppi]

No. For those of you who love numbers, divide your daily protein intake in enjoyable food sources across your meals the way you prefer them and how they make sense in different dishes, like morning porridge breakfast having perhaps less protein than steak dinner. The whole point of this study was to find out if there's a limit to how much protein you can take advantage over per meal, and it showed that you don't have to worry about eating as much as 100 grams in one meal if your daily meal patterns happen to get out of whack. There's also those time restricted feeding studies mentioned in the video where people ate their daily meals in like 4 hour feeding window without really meaningful losses in gains (statistically you might be able to say there was a difference but in practice it's tough to say if there was a difference).

[@wizzelhoart]

the Docs Barbell Medicine have been saying this for years

[@asprinklingofclouds]

Where does the leucine threshold figure in all of this? Presumably you would still need a minimum of 25-50g of quality protein per meal to stimulate muscle protein synthesis (depending on age) but these smaller servings are theoretically better than a 100g serving if the leucine threshold theory is correct. For example you will spike mps twice as often if you have say have 50g protein feedings instead of 100g protein feedings, this is irrespective of the fact that the 100g servings still get utilised.

[@mikafoxx2717]

That's not how it works. Leucine is important but there's no lower limit to trigger it, the 3g is to maximize synthesis. And it doesn't make sense to spike MPS twice if the once runs for twice as long at the same rate? And your training still matters most or pretty much zero will go to your muscles beyond to repair regular breakdown.

[@asprinklingofclouds]

@@mikafoxx2717 According to the Leucine threshold theory that is how it works. The research shows that mps increased due to Leucine concentrations elevated in the blood typically only lasts for 1.5-3 hours, even though the concentration of Leucine and other amino acids can remain elevated in the blood for far longer. In order to maximally stimulate mps again, the Leucine concentration in the blood has to drop below a set concentration, which occurs 4-6 hours after the protein/Leucine is first ingested.

[@mikafoxx2717]

@@asprinklingofclouds Thing is, that's false. This study clearly showed that leucine was stored in the muscle tissue even well after protein digestion ends, which makes the muscle still synthesize more of itself, using amino acids that were used for other tissues with a high turnover rate which get recycled. Read the paper in detail if you want, it's a very very good study.

[@asprinklingofclouds]

@@mikafoxx2717 I am not in disagreement on the findings of this study, but the other research shows that muscle protein synthesis via enhanced mTOR signalling doesn't improve above a certain leucine threshold. If you only need say 50g of protein to optimise mTOR then you would be better off having 2 meals of 50g protein five hours apart than having 100g all at once, because you will signalling mTOR twice as often.

[@mikafoxx2717]

@@asprinklingofclouds mTOR also responds to energy as well, not just protein, perhaps that's why they found a cap to that. This study found that mTOR activity decreased but muscle synthesis was still elevated, using bodily stores. It seems when you eat a lot of protein, your body uses pretty much all of it to build more organ tissue and such, but they also constantly break down between meals and often gets recycled or burned for energy slowly, but in this case the muscle synthesis uses the protein from organs and whatnot as they shrink some from catabolism, but the muscle has leucine stored inside it to signal the body had plenty of protein and your exercise stimulated it go be stored there, so it grows despite low mTOR. I mean, you can read the study, it shows mTOR and muscle synthesis aren't as closely knit as we thought. Plus, we can see people eating once per day that build or maintain a lot of muscle, which shouldn't be possible if that weren't true. Do snakes have mTOR raised for several days or weeks as they digest something that's possibly larger than they are? Suppose it's possible.

[@lloydaran]

@@rebornstillborn The first point isn't really that clear, as they didn't check for another meal. Since the 100g group had significantly higher synthesis levels throughout the day, it does seem to suggest you should stack on protein as much as possible to not only keep constant levels, but reach high ones too. The second point isn't really thouroughly tested, IMHO, for the same reason as above: there wasn't another meal to check for in the following 12 hours. Would the 25g (which is also a bit low tbh) group reach more stable and high levels, with the following meals? Not to mention, if you gobble down 100g of protein in one sitting, chances are the next one(s?) won't have much instead. So, it didn't truly account for a full 24-hour cycle, a normal day. I definitely wouldn't take this study as the basis to start moving almost my entire protein needs on one meal per day.

The study only looks at protein intake in your meal IMMEDIATELY after a work-out. It does not look at protein intake in your other meals. Another issue is, if this study is true and representative to other meals, then daily protein need of 1.6/kg of bodyweight is thrown completely out the window. What is the new protein recommendation I ask? Is it not 100 g per meal? so 400 g of protein per day? that just seems impossible. if there is no limit to utility of protein intake for muscle building then we should see far more muscle growth in people who eat 200-400-600 g of protein per day compared to say 100 g/day. We don't see that.

[@mikafoxx2717]

It explains it perfectly. It takes longer to digest and synthesis stays raised for longer. When synthesis is raised pretty much the entire time, pretty much as high as it can be, you'll have reached the maximum. 100g in one meal still raised muscle synthesis beyond their 12hr study window, 150g would be pretty much up to 24 hrs.
