    Sorry for critisizing, but your look at the problem is very superficial. Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) Response: It is known that muscle protein synthesis can become more responsive to amino acids after periods of low protein intake or fasting. This phenomenon, known as the "rebound effect," might suggest that muscles could indeed become more sensitive to protein intake after a period of low protein availability. If this heightened sensitivity persists, it could lead to enhanced muscle growth when protein intake is subsequently increased.
    Protein Distribution: Consistent low protein intake might influence how the body allocates amino acids, possibly prioritizing essential functions and muscle repair. Upon reintroduction of higher protein intake, the previously primed muscle cells might exhibit a more pronounced anabolic response.
    Epigenetic Changes:
    Exercise and Epigenetics: Strength training induces epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, which can affect gene expression related to muscle growth and metabolism. These changes might prime the muscles for improved function and growth when coupled with optimal protein intake later.
    Long-term Adaptations: The epigenetic modifications induced by training could have lasting effects, potentially leading to better muscle maintenance and function even in the absence of immediate protein supplementation. Over time, these adaptations might improve muscle responsiveness and overall metabolic health. Therefore having days or even weeks with an scarcity of proteins after training has many long term health benefits and also anabolic benefits for future training situations.
    Never thought about that? Really 😒? You can't get to new insights, if your thinking is so much straightforward and in the box. Exiting topic though 👍

      Neither in this podcast or other literature I haven't seen any indication that protein digestion is a limiting factor for muscle growth and we can win something significant by providing aminoacids instead.
      This solution is also not cost efficient and takes your focus from more important parts - training intensity and the amount of macros.
