This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to returning guest Prof Don Layman about protein metabolism. They specifically discuss the importance of thinking about protein requirements from an amino acid perspective, how much protein you can consume in a meal and absorb, why amino acids as a whole are important for muscle protein synthesis (and not just leucine), the value of animal protein, how much more you need to eat as a vegetarian and so much more. As always, a fantastic conversation you don’t want to miss.
