Good news for you, 1 cup of raw lentils is 192 gram and contains 49.5 gram protein.

I don't know why he does it. Maybe he likes the taste?

Perhaps it makes it a bit more slower digesting so the rise in MPS may last longer, although admittedly this is majoring in the minors.

Doesn't matter. You're mixing it with whey which is the most bio available protein out there.

That's good advice. I usually post in the nutrition forum and I generally recommend people reach their protein target with predominantly minimally processed foods. If they need a supplement to reach...

That's a good point. Appeal to extremes fits better. But I do note that what he did fits the Wiki definition of a straw man too.

You left out a few vital words of what I wrote, which were important words to the meaning of the sentence. I said if you're consuming enough protein (or EAAs) to maximise (not just stimulate!) over...

I just reread it. You didn’t respond to it. My position on the role of MPS in muscle hypertrophy is 100% in line with what Stuart Phillips and Jorn Trommelen have put forward on the topic.

Some...

I did the same thing as you did, I took something to a silly extreme that doesn't represent how people eat in the real world.



It probably does because we'd be talking about >80-100 gram EAAs....

I already addressed the point in post #46.


Well both are relevant if you want to maximise MPS over ~4 hours. While the topic of leucine supplementation is certainly an interesting topic I...

Yeah that's what is commonly called a straw man: take someone's position to an unrealistic extreme to argue that it's wrong.

On a side note, whether it would work is still an interesting question...

I'd suggest looking up the posts from smokinal. He does that for several meals. Saves him a lot of time and it's working for him. He posted a YouTube video as well. I remember he's blending chicken...

The program that you can adhere to and gets you progressively stronger in the medium rep ranges over multiple sets.

Lifting the same weight as before, just with a little better form isn't what...

This ^^^.

And to add: are you getting stronger in the medium rep ranges over multiple sets? Because that's what matters.

You don't need 5000 kcal and you don't need 6 meals.

Please read the stickies.

There's no need to combine protein sources in order to get a complete AA profile. Legumes can stimulate MPS perfectly on their own, as long as you eat enough of them.

It's been trashed for a long time but that was because of the trans fat. Modern vegetable oil shouldn't have trans fat. As long as you don't heat the vegetable oil to the point where it becomes...

Holy moly, that's giant straw man. Who in their right mind would replace all food with EAAs supplements? I hope no one is that stupid. OP asked something entirely different.

I am surprised by the...

Maybe I haven't checked well enough. Do you have an example of a brand?

Both.

One double espresso in the morning. That's enough to give me a nice boost throughout the day. One of the perks of being a slow caffein metabolizer.

How much caffein? I guess it's about 80-100 mg.
