No, in the exprimental group you would have 130g give or take plus an additional 28g for a total of 158g.Just so Im clear, if I were 100kg and...
...in the placebo group, I would have a pro intake of 130gm/day
...in the experimental group, I would have a pro intake of 160gm/day PLUS an additional 27.5gm (supplemented prior to bed), so 187.5gm pro total /day
Correct?
The numbers I referenced before we're the protein totals of both groups. The 1.6g/kg was reflective of that extra 28g.
you mentioned earlier you couldn't see the chart so here are the numbers from it. The control group started the study with 101g/day and by the end was consuming 103g/day.
The experimental group started the study consuming 99g/day and by the end was consuming 106g/day. This is not counting the supplemental protein. with the extra prebed protein they consumed 134g/day vs 103g in the control group.
As you can see, not a huge difference in total protein intake besides the extra pre bed shake. But this shake resulted in almost doubling the cross sectional area of the quads and also saw significent strength gains over the placebo group.
So the question is if this is the result of the extra shake per day or the fact that the shake was consumed pre bed. If you see the other study I posted you see that timing does have some effect. Pre bed protein intake results in greater overall body protein retention through the night. So maybe it's the timing or maybe it's the protein intake differences. I am assuming we will see a follow up paper in a few years where they will have protein intake matched and ima bet there still will be a increase in gains in the prebed group.
