We all know that one “meathead” who drinks protein shakes as a drink with his or her meals. Are they really a dumb meathead or is there actually some data to back this up? Does it depend on how much protein they’re having? Today’s study is on this topic to be exact. The episode proceeds into discussion on protein type, protein amount, philosophy regarding trying to get every last possible advantage in athletics, and reflections on if there really are big difference between the protein supplements of different companies or if it’s mostly hype.
