How much you actually need

The 0.8 g/kg RDA prevents deficiency; it doesn't optimize training. Research on lifters converges on 1.6–2.2 g/kg of body weight daily for muscle growth, with the high end most useful during a calorie deficit, when protein shields lean mass.

Distribution helps

Muscle protein synthesis responds best to 20–40 g doses spread across 3–5 meals rather than one giant serving. Whole-food sources bring micronutrients along; powder is convenience, not magic.
