Low-fat protein after exercise delivers amino acids into your bloodstream faster, giving your muscles a stronger signal to repair and grow High-fat meals slow digestion and weaken your muscle-building response, even when the total amount of protein is the same A stronger and faster leucine surge from lean protein helps activate muscle repair more effectively, improving your recovery window Higher daily protein intake — around 0.8 grams per pound of ideal body weight — supports better muscle gain, fat loss, bone strength, and metabolic stability Simplifying your post-workout meal and choosing low-LA, low-fat protein sources help you recover more quickly and get better results from every training session
