Knowledge is Power

Anabolic window.. I dunno about crucial. I would say its meh..

What's wrong with using protein as fuel? As long as your maintaining a positive nitrogen balance why does it matter if some protein is being converted to glucose?

You have the book in PDF?

That's the great debate, isn't it. I'm not sure a blanket philosophy like that is appropriate for all ages/genders/weights/goals. A 250lb man surely has different nutritional needs than a 140lb woman. So when someone eats a steak or a chicken breast after a workout, as those can certainly have > 30g protein, what is the problem?
Really, 10-20g post workout? 40-80 calories? Sounds fishy

Its interesting to say the least, considering the man is writing textbooks for college courses.

Interestingly enough the author does say that the anabolic window for protein is crucial. Not just for protein synthesis but to also minimize using protein as a fuel instead of protein synthesis. I know a lot of people have gotten away from that so I was kind of surprised to see him advocating it.

He also says that we shouldn't consume more than 20-25 g protein post workout; tying into protein being used up as energy. Optimal amount being only 10-20 g from high quality sources i.e., food vs shake.

I've read quite good things on protein synthesis etc. in that clinical sports nutrition book; honestly it is a very good read. It was pretty expensive (got it new for $100ish) but someone with a hardcore thrist for nutrition would love it. But it does get VERY technical; i.e. delve into a lot more than your average text book (i.e. goes into the way things interact in the body and trigger what response etc.). It advocates for consuming protein (with carbs) post workout for a host of reasons however other studies (JJ posted one) advocate for a much higher protein intake post (or at least confirm the body is capable of absobing more)
