What the study reports

A randomised trial of graded protein intake alongside progressive resistance training, examining dose response in strength and body composition outcomes.

The PROMACHOS reading

Protein intake has a ceiling. Beyond an adequate dose, additional intake is not additional adaptation, and training quality becomes the limiting factor again.

This work was produced by its authors and published in the journal named above. PROMACHOS did not conduct this research, holds no interest in its findings, and provides this summary for educational use only. Read the source before relying on it.
