Protein intake and nutrient absorption -
Despite a plethora of studies demonstrating safety, much concern still exists surrounding the clinical implications of consuming increased amounts of protein, particularly on renal and hepatic health. The majority of these concerns stem from renal failure patients and educational dogma that has not been rewritten as evidence mounts to the contrary.
Certainly, it is clear that people in renal failure benefit from protein-restricted diets [ ], but extending this pathophysiology to otherwise healthy exercise-trained individuals who are not clinically compromised is inappropriate.
Published reviews on this topic consistently report that an increased intake of protein by competitive athletes and active individuals provides no indication of hepato-renal harm or damage [ , ]. This is supported by a recent commentary [ ] which referenced recent reports from the World Health Organization [ ] where they indicated a lack of evidence linking a high protein diet to renal disease.
Likewise, the panel charged with establishing reference nutrient values for Australia and New Zealand also stated there was no published evidence that elevated intakes of protein exerted any negative impact on kidney function in athletes or in general [ ].
Recently, Antonio and colleagues published a series of original investigations that prescribed extremely high amounts of protein ~3.
The first study in had resistance-trained individuals consume an extremely high protein diet 4. A follow-up investigation [ ] required participants to ingest up to 3.
Their next study employed a crossover study design in twelve healthy resistance-trained men in which each participant was tested before and after for body composition as well as blood-markers of health and performance [ ].
In one eight-week block, participants followed their normal habitual diet 2. No changes in body composition were reported, and importantly, no clinical side effects were observed throughout the study. Finally, the same group of authors published a one-year crossover study [ ] in fourteen healthy resistance-trained men.
This investigation showed that the chronic consumption of a high protein diet i. Furthermore, there were no alterations in clinical markers of metabolism and blood lipids. Multiple review articles indicate that no controlled scientific evidence exists indicating that increased intakes of protein pose any health risks in healthy, exercising individuals.
A series of controlled investigations spanning up to one year in duration utilizing protein intakes of up to 2. In alignment with our previous position stand, it is the position of the International Society of Sports Nutrition that the majority of exercising individuals should consume at minimum approximately 1.
The amount is dependent upon the mode and intensity of the exercise, the quality of the protein ingested, as well as the energy and carbohydrate status of the individual.
Concerns that protein intake within this range is unhealthy are unfounded in healthy, exercising individuals. An attempt should be made to consume whole foods that contain high-quality e.
The timing of protein intake in the period encompassing the exercise session may offer several benefits including improved recovery and greater gains in lean body mass. In addition, consuming protein pre-sleep has been shown to increase overnight MPS and next-morning metabolism acutely along with improvements in muscle size and strength over 12 weeks of resistance training.
Intact protein supplements, EAAs and leucine have been shown to be beneficial for the exercising individual by increasing the rates of MPS, decreasing muscle protein degradation, and possibly aiding in recovery from exercise.
In summary, increasing protein intake using whole foods as well as high-quality supplemental protein sources can improve the adaptive response to training.
