In reply to Lakmal. MPS is always ongoing. In a basal state (resting, no food), MPS is still ongoing. Protein breakdown provides amino acids that are used for MPS. But in that scenario, you are only "recycling" the protein in your body. To actually have a net gain, you need to consume protein.

Thank you; could you explain how that considerable amount of MPS is achieved even with 0% protein? Perhaps this is due to after-strength training session.

Ronnie Coleman style! Over 100g protein post workout and another 100g pre bed.

Hi Jorn, thanks for the article. was wondering what about in the context of whey protein? is it similar to the milk protein in this study?

I would assume that it would be different in that 20g would be optimal, 40g would help increase MPS by 10-20%
