Disproportionate Protein Intake across Meals and Oxidative Loss of Aminos
Dr. Scott Connelly, the creator of Metamyosyn (protein formula) says in the March issue of MD that protein intake should be "as high as possible", but that feedings should be broken up in equal fractions of the daily total.
He argues that inconsistent intake across meals leads to oxidative loss of aminos b/c your system is calibrated to maintain certain amino certain limits, so smaller and larger feedings will induce oxidation of any excess beyond the levels attained by the smaller feedings.
I think I've read something like this before, but he really doesn't elaborate on the topic. I'm wondering if this is true, and if so, would the different digestion rates for different protein sources (ie whey vs. casein vs. steak...) also factor into this.
Thoughts???? :think:
