How often I should take high protein meal?
Every 3-4 hours?
It mean 6 times a day meal and I suppose to eat in each meal around 40g of protein to get 3g protein per 1kg of BW.
What if I eat 4 protein meals a day?
Can I take roughly 60g protein in each meal to satisfy my needs?
Thanks

I think every 4-6 hours would be best if there is any truth in the refractory period of protein synthesis. It is better to let the AA acid levels go down a bit before you put in more.

Yes around 50-60 gms should be fine.

If there is any big difference to worry about, you will see it in the mirror. If that’s the case, switch back to what you did before.
