Dear Family,

One of the most common myths I hear is that our bodies can only "use a certain amount of protein in each meal".

With the evidence we do have, there doesn't seem to be a relevant limit to how much protein (amino acids) we can utilize when consumed.

The only practical limitation seems to be individual tolerance. That's why the typical recommendation is to take your daily protein target (1.6g/kg BW, as a standard example) and split that evenly over 4 daily meals (0.4g/kg BW per meal in this example).

This strategy is in line with more consistent energy throughout the day, as well as avoiding some upset tummies due to consuming a large bolus of food at one time (even if this seems to be just as effective).

That's the most basic level of optimization, and pretty much as far as the average person  would ever need to go to fulfill their needs. 

If you still don't know where to start, let's talk about it!

0.4g/lb BW is simply not enough protein for healthy adults.

This can be a struggle for a lot of people for various reasons, but the evidence is pretty clear that the goal is typically almost double the often noted number.

Sedentary populations, active populations. Everyone benefits from a generally higher protein intake.

This is especially true for older populations and people trying to utilize the muscle-sparing benefits of higher protein intakes, such as those trying to lose weight or are at risk of sarcopenia or atrophy from immobilization/injury.

Idk I’m more of a “glass half full” kinda girl myself

In hindsight, it’s actually sickening how much I’ve managed to pack into the last 12 months.

Rewind to January 1st of this year, and I was about to massively fuck up the first run of the most important assay for my dissertation research 🫠

(A premonition for many small, useful failures to come).

2025 quite honestly chewed me up and spit me out in the best of ways.

The kind of pain and suffering that tricks you into falling in love with it.

Here’s hoping that 2026 doesn’t pull any punches either 🎱
