The video tutorial discusses optimal protein consumption for muscle growth, emphasizing the need for daily protein intake due to muscle turnover. It suggests consuming 20 grams of complete protein per meal, with potential benefits from increasing to 40 grams. Plant proteins may require higher intake due to lower digestibility and amino acid content. Pre-sleep protein intake, particularly slow-digesting proteins like casein, is recommended at 40 grams or more. Total daily protein intake should range from 1.6 to 2.4 grams per kilogram of body weight, depending on goals. The tutorial provides a science-based approach to maximizing muscle growth through protein consumption.
