Protein intake news, nutrition news

Consuming 40 grams of protein after exercise was more effective at stimulating muscle growth than 20 grams. This increase occurred irrespective of the size of the participants.
Professor Tipton continued: "Until now the consensus among leading sports nutritionists, including the American College of Sports Medicine and the British Nutrition Foundation, is that weightlifters do not need more than around 25 grams of protein after exercise to maximally stimulate the muscle's ability to grow....
"In order for nutritionists to recommend the correct amount of protein we first need to consider specific demands of the workout, regardless of athletes' size. This throws commonly held recommendations into question and suggests the amount of protein our muscles need after exercise may be dependent on the type of workout performed. These results are limited to younger, trained men so we may see different results with other groups, such as older individuals or females digesting different amounts of protein."

Interesting news regarding nutrition.  It appears required protein intake depends on workout not overall size of athlete, also it seems that more 30g of protein can aid muscle growth and recovery.   Previous research suggested no more than 30g could be used for muscle synthesis per meal immediately after exercise, iirc, it seems that perhaps if both findings are true some other mechanism is at play facilitating even more long term growth at higher doses.

nutrition news: animal protein less healthy

The largest study to examine the effects of different sources of dietary protein found that a high intake of proteins from animal sources -- particularly processed and unprocessed red meats -- was associated with a higher mortality rate, while a high intake of protein from plant sources was associated with a lower risk of death.-source sciencedaily

While plant based diets appear healthier, care needs to be taken with nutrient intake.  Particularly omega 3s, b12 and ensuring complete amino acid profile.
