There was a tendency for a higher nitrogen balance in young women fed four protein-containing meals a day compared with young women fed three meals a day, with lunch providing 80% of daily protein intake [25]. However, for adequate intakes of energy and protein, there was no difference in nitrogen balance between young women fed three or six meals per day [26].



עוד אחד:
In young subjects, the differences in protein anabolism were minor between the spread and the pulse patterns because the response of muscle protein synthesis to feeding was similar whatever the feeding pattern.
