Study Summary
To highlight the importance of protein quality rather than the total protein content of a meal, the investigators will demonstrate that unlike high quality proteins, a single meal containing 30 g of an incomplete protein source does not stimulate skeletal muscle protein synthesis. Secondly, the investigators will directly challenge a prevalent, but untested, assertion that has the potential to negatively impact health. The goal is to demonstrate that complementary plant-proteins (i.e., two or more incomplete protein sources) must be consumed at the same meal to stimulate protein synthesis.
Primary Outcome
