Protein

Protein is a fundamental macronutrient in human nutrition and plays a central role in muscle growth, recovery, and body composition.

Scientific research consistently shows that adequate protein intake supports muscle protein synthesis, helps preserve lean mass during calorie deficits, and improves training adaptations across a wide range of populations.

This topic hub brings together science-based articles that explore protein intake, meal distribution, timing strategies, protein quality, and how protein requirements vary depending on specific goals.
