The Claim
In young males participating in resistance training, consuming a total daily protein intake of 1.8 g/kg body weight is sufficient to achieve significant increases in muscle size and strength over a 10-week period, with no additional benefit observed from ingesting a 35g casein supplement either during the day or at night.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
For young guys lifting weights, eating 1.8 grams of protein per kilo of body weight each day is enough to gain muscle and get stronger in 10 weeks — it doesn’t matter if they take a 35g casein protein shake during the day or before bed.
See the scientific wording
In young males undergoing resistance training, total daily protein intake of 1.8 g/kg body weight is sufficient to support significant increases in muscle size and strength over 10 weeks, regardless of whether a 35g casein supplement is consumed during the day or night.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that young men gained muscle and strength just as well with 1.8g of protein per kg of body weight per day, whether they took a casein shake during the day or at night.
