There appears to be a disconnect between scientists and almost everyone else in sports nutrition. With so much conflicting information, it’s difficult to know who to believe. With contributions from the world’s foremost experts,

- Analyzes the mechanisms behind what proteins do in muscle cells
- Describes protein’s effect on performance, recovery, and body composition
- Explores various populations that actively employ resistance training and dietary protein
- Discusses timing, type, and safety data regarding liberal protein diets and related supplements
- Includes sidebars, practical examples, and case studies—translating the science into a practical understanding of various protein-related topics
