The Claim

In trained individuals consuming approximately 1.7–1.9 g/kg/day of protein at baseline, increasing protein intake to 2.4 g/kg/day via supplementation does not alter body composition or physical performance when training volume is held constant.

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

In plain English

If you're already fit and eat a decent amount of protein, boosting your intake even higher with supplements won’t change your muscle, fat, or performance—as long as your workout routine stays the same.

See the scientific wording

Trained men and women consuming approximately 1.7–1.9 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day at baseline can increase their intake to 2.4 grams per kilogram per day through supplementation without altering body composition or performance, provided training volume remains constant.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Casein Protein Supplementation in Trained Men and Women: Morning versus Evening

    The study gave extra protein to people who already lifted weights regularly and found it didn’t change their body or performance if they kept training the same. This supports the idea that more protein alone won’t change results without changing workouts.
