Protein this, protein that; it’s everywhere but is it useful?
It is but the dose is important; soooo many products claiming to be “high in protein “ just aren’t high enough and most products aren’t really going to help in the way they are marketed due to not enough protein.
30 grams is an appropriate dose per serving to trigger muscle protein synthesis heading towards 45 grams as we age; remember that when you pay £2.50+ for your 20 grams of protein bar; can’t imagine you’d want to buy a second bar and eat half to hit the mark.
Ideally you want to be hitting at least 3 servings a day
