Do you have to ingest at least 30 grams of protein in one meal to see protein synthesis benefits, or does it not matter if it's in one sitting? This question is based on the episodes Protein and Skeletal Muscle: The Keys to Longevity with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, Dr Gabrielle Lyon: How to Exercise & Eat for Optimal Health & Longevity, and 864: The Max Amount of Protein You Should Eat Per Meal, How Aging Affects Metabolism & Weight, as well as the clips Protein Consumption Insights and Protein Myths Debunked featuring Peter Attia and Luc van Loon.
I'm concerned about the role of mTOR and IGF-1 in tumor growth as discussed in the episode Dr. David Sinclair: The Biology of Slowing & Reversing Aging | Huberman Lab Podcast #52 and the clip Leucine and Longevity. Can we achieve a balance between activating these pathways for muscle growth and strength training, and downregulating them through fasting? For example, could a cycle of 1 month of muscle-building weight training followed by a week of fasting help strike that balance? What might an optimal approach look like?
