The Secrets of Nutrient Timing Revealed

So how big of a deal is nutrient timing for muscle growth? Researchers randomly assigned subjects to consume a whey protein shake before and immediately after exercise, while another group got a drink that looked and tasted exactly the same as the whey protein shake, but was just a placebo. Neither the subjects nor the researchers knew who was getting the whey protein and who was getting the placebo drink.There was no difference between the daily protein, carbohydrate, fat and total calorie consumption between the two groups; the only difference was a whey protein shake added before and after exercise. รอ how much of an effect can two little whey protein shakes make?The men performed resistance exercise for 21 weeks; at the end of the study, the subjects who consumed as little as 15 grams of whey protein before after exercise had greater increases in muscle hypertrophy then the control group. The group who consumed the whey protein before and after exercise had and increase in muscle quadriceps area of ~10 percent while the control group). So here you ave two groups doing the exact same exercises and workouts, yet a simple whey protein shake was the only difference for those who got bigger!
The researchers wanted to get down to the molecular level to find out what the hell was going on.The researchers also took muscle biopsies to examine changes in gene expression from the legs of the subjects 1/2 hour before and 1 hour and 48 hours after exercise. So what was the difference between the groups?
