Researchers from Purdue University and The University of Texas Medical Branch suggest that snacking on whey protein after a low-protein breakfast can enhance amino acid absorption. The findings of their study were published in the journal Nutrition Research.
In conclusion, these findings suggest that consuming whey protein snack two hours after a lower protein breakfast restores plasma essential amino acid availability comparable to a higher protein breakfast in overweight adults.
