Couldn you achieve the same anti-catabolic benefit and waste less whey protein by simply taking smaller amounts of whey protein more often during the day?
Good thinking, but there are two problems with that line of thought. In the first place, several studies have demonstrated that whey protein is a fast dietary protein. With a fast dietary protein, all that happens is that every time it is consumed, the amino acids are released quickly into the bloodstream in a large grouping. It is the fast, excessive release of amino acids that causes the body to send a significant portion of the aminos to the liver for oxidation. These same studies have shown that as each new batch of amino acids is released into the bloodstream in a large group so often, a lower percentage is used for lean tissue growth support and a higher percentage is oxidized in the liver. Even worse, these percentages become more skewed on each successive protein ingestion, resulting in a reduction in the efficiency of protein utilization. Why waste your money consuming whey protein more often when the benefits would be doubtful at best? Secondly, the ground breaking study comp
