Dr. Campbell explains (with scientific evidence) the proper amounts of protein that athletes should ingest on a daily basis. He also makes the distinction between protein needs and optimal protein intake to maximize training adaptations. An evidence-based approach is taken to examine these common issues in relation to protein intake for athletes.
