Muscle Protein Synthesis

Muscle protein synthesis is the process of building muscle. Protein is the building block for muscle growth. To stimulate muscle protein synthesis it is ideal to have around 4 meals split apart by 2 to 3 hours each containing at least 20-40g protein. This will make the optimal conditions for the muscle to grow.  Tip: Remember to space out your protein in meals frequently during the day and not to eat all your protein requirements in one sitting which will hinder the efficient utilisation for building muscle.
