Jeg har ikke givet udtryk for at det ikke kan lade sig gøre, at spise alle sine proteiner på en gang og stadig få resultater. Jeg siger bare, at det ikke er fuldstændig ligemeget med fordelingen.
Der er desværre ikke mange studier tilgængelig som undersøger netop den her problemstilling, men ud fra den teoretiske viden må det være fordelagtigt at fordele sit proteinindtag ud igennem dagen. PPF studiet som bodylab benytter er også en del af den artikkel jeg linkede
"The researchers found that the women consuming the large single dose of protein actually had
greater nitrogen balance, protein turnover, and protein synthesis rates than the group consuming
their protein across four evenly spaced meals. Now the total protein intake for both groups was
only 60g so the group consuming protein evenly only consumed 15g at each meal. Still it is
interesting that the group eating almost all of their total protein in one meal had better results.
Perhaps the group consuming the small meals never reached the threshold required to initiate a
significant response of protein synthesis at any meal whereas the bolus dose group ate enough
protein in at least one meal to initiate have one significant increase in protein synthesis above
baseline during the day.
Now I am not in any way shape or form implying that we are better off just consuming one large
protein meal per day. What I am implying is that it is better to consume larger protein doses
spaced further apart and maximize protein synthesis, rather than consume smaller doses of
protein throughout the day, since research has shown that protein synthesis will become
refractory to constantly elevated levels of amino acids. It may be that a period where amino acids
return to baseline or near baseline is required in order to initiate another bout of protein
synthesis.
I therefore suggest that one consume 4-6 larger protein doses per day instead of 6-8 meals
and wait 4-5 hours between meals rather than 2-3 hours."
Dr. Stuart Philips har også lavet et studie hvor han sammenligner den anabole respons med henholdsvis 2, 4 og 8 måltider fordelt igennem dagen, hvor 4 måltider viste sig at give den bedste respons, jeg kan desværre ikke lige finde det studie lige nu.
Her er et interresant indlæg fra Layne Norton angående netop dette:
