The Benefits of Ingesting Protein Early in the Day
According to a study, ingesting protein and amino acids early in the day can lead to more muscle hypertrophy and growth or maintenance of muscle, as opposed to ingesting it later in the day. This is due to the fact that our bodies can utilize the proteins ingested early in the day better than those ingested later in the day.
