Total newb when concerning diets..
But is protein intake really that complicated?
Will you really reduce the hypertrophy effect if you don't eat every 2-3 hours?
I'd think aiming for a certain amount of calories over a single day, and a certain percentage of those calories as protein/carbs/fat, and making sure that some of those calories are taken just before and just after the exercise itself would be sufficient.
Am I wrong?
I'd also like to ask, protein can be turned into fat, as well as carbs, does that mean this can also be reversed?
How does the body use the fat it has stored? Is it only for fuel for the cells, or can it also be used for growth?
