As you have highlighted, the current wisdom is to encourage athletes (especially those in strength based sports) to consume regular boluses of protein to maximise training adaptations and/or recovery. But you (and Kim et al Clin Nutr. 2018 on their work with older adults) are suggesting that a simpler approach i.e. a couple of meals with adequate protein are likely to achieve the same objectives as frequent meals that include post exercise and pre bed protein boluses. Have I understood correctly? Perhaps these findings explain why people were always able to develop incredible strength even in antiquity when it was unlikely that strong men had access to frequent protein meals?
