unian.ua (Ukrainian)

Dietitians say there is no single ideal time to eat protein, though growing evidence suggests starting the day with it may offer benefits like increased muscle strength and better blood sugar control. Research indicates a protein-rich breakfast can prolong fullness and improve digestion, reducing the urge to snack. One study found participants who ate protein in the morning saw improved blood sugar levels compared to those who ate carbohydrates. Experts recommend distributing protein evenly throughout the day, with about 30 grams per meal, for optimal absorption. The recommended daily intake for healthy adults over 19 is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight.
