noli's read

This advice is based on the idea of increasing protein intake around physical activity to support recovery. Proteins are indeed essential for muscle repair after exertion, a recommendation supported by numerous meta-analyses in sports nutrition. Choosing a processed product like this 'Protein' version is a strategy of convenience: it provides an easily transportable source of protein, which is validated by observational studies on the importance of practicality for maintaining nutritional habits. However, it is important to note that this product remains an ultra-processed food; although it helps meet a protein quota, it does not replace the nutritional density of whole foods. The 'boost' or 'essential' aspect for performance is likely exaggerated by marketing, as protein needs can be largely covered by a standard balanced diet. In summary, protein intake is scientifically founded, but the specific source chosen is more a matter of personal convenience than absolute physiological necessity.

What the graded evidence says

Evidence
B+
Effect
fat-free mass gain (resistance training) and appetite/satiety — +0.30 kg fat-free mass with protein supplementation (95% CI 0.09-0.52), plateau at ~1.62 g/kg/day; higher protein meals reliably increase satiety vs equal-calorie lower-protein meals
Measured on
healthy training adults; weight-loss and weight-maintenance adults

What’s uncertain

More protein past roughly 1.6 g/kg/day doesn't add much for muscle or fullness. The satiety edge is real but modest, not a magic appetite switch.
