The Nitrogen Audit
For sedentary individuals, yes. However, for those under caloric restriction or high resistance training stress, higher protein intake is the most effective containment strategy against skeletal muscle erosion (catabolism).
Leucine is a key amino acid that triggers the 'on' switch for muscle protein synthesis. Aiming for 2.5g–3g of leucine per meal ensures you cross the anabolic threshold for optimal growth.
Animal proteins are typically 'complete', containing full spectrum amino acids. Plant sources may requires 'protein pairing' or slightly higher volumes to reach the same nitrogen balance efficiency.
