Recent studies recommend eating about 0.3 to 0.4 g protein per kg of body weight (20 to 40 g for most adults) within two hours after training for optimal recovery Aim for around 2 to 3 g leucine in that dose to robustly trigger muscle protein synthesis A new Texas A&M clinical trial in tactical athletes reports better recovery markers after intense training when animal-protein meals were used versus plant-based meals with equal total protein Pairing protein with carbohydrates helps speed glycogen refueling across the next four to six hours Older adults generally benefit from the higher end of the per-meal range (approximately 0.4 g/kg)
