While adequate overall protein intake is fundamental for maintaining muscle mass and function, research increasingly highlights that evenly spreading protein across meals optimizes the body&rsquo;s ability to utilize it. This strategic approach, often termed &ldquo;protein distribution,&rdquo; directly impacts muscle protein synthesis (MPS), the process by which muscles repair and rebuild. Understanding and implementing effective protein distribution can play a significant role in combating age-related muscle loss, known as sarcopenia, and supporting overall health in later years.</p>
