In-Depth Guide & Mathematical Methodology
🥩 Protein Distribution & Leucine Threshold
Leucine Trigger (2.5 - 3.0g): Each main meal should contain ~0.4 g/kg of high-quality protein to reach the leucine trigger and stimulate maximal MPS (Muscle Protein Synthesis).
Meal Frequency: Distributing total daily protein evenly across 3 to 5 meals optimizes 24-hour nitrogen balance.
