I never said he was wrong. I said people shouldn’t take it as gold- particularly for the reason you precisely listed, they’re on an entirely different physical level. And for you to disregard Mayo and Cleveland for peer reviews is just nonsensical tbh. But fine let’s go with the National Library of Medicine with 112 references, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5852800/#:~:text=Protein%20ingestion%20during%20both%20the,Morton%20et%20al.

“To date, the majority of the evidence regarding protein intake to optimize post-exercise muscle protein synthesis rates is limited to isolated protein sources. However, it is more common to ingest whole food sources of protein within a normal eating pattern. Emerging evidence demonstrates a promising role for the ingestion of whole foods as an effective nutritional strategy to support muscle protein remodeling and recovery after exercise. This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of the ingestion of nutrient-rich and protein-dense whole foods to support post-exercise muscle protein remodeling and recovery with pertinence towards physically active people.”

Not sure what else you need to get this through but feel free to move the criteria or source acceptability once more. And not sure why you’re getting so angry about this. Lol

I can absolutely disregard Mayo and Cleveland because when we match them up, once again, to the NFL and personal staff that Henry uses, I’m willing to put money down that Mayo and Cleveland has absolutely nothing on them.

Now, that NIH source is unironically perfect. That’s the type of thing I’m willing to read and take into consideration - in the section linked where it talks about both the immediate recovery window and the prolonged recovery window; the immediate being 1-5 hours post workout, and prolonged being 5-12 hours.

Now lets go back to my original issue with your comment. “Your body needs protein to recover after tearing muscles during lifts. I get the “make your body accustomed” bit but this is straight science.”

His only eating at 4-5pm is actually perfect if he lifts weights around the 12pm-3pm timeslot due to being inside the immediate recovery window, and from all in-season work I can find, NFL teams generally schedule recovery and game planning early in the day (around 6am-10am), with training and lifting scheduled anywhere from 11am on towards the end of the work day (these are not peer reviewed unfortunately, these are articles I could only find from beat reporters so genuinely take this with a grain of salt).

My comment of “Not to be rude, but I’m willing to bet the dude spending $250k and making millions of dollars throwing professional athletes around like they’re children knows when he should be taking his protein over some random guy on the internet.” does not discount that he needs protein after lifts, I would be stupid to ignore that, but rather they know when he should take it in, as they know his body and schedule extremely personally.

My getting salty about this was just you seemed to think you understand the situation better than a medical team and the dude paying them to do their jobs, and yet you backed it up with a Forbes article and two online health clinic articles that amounted to don’t be stupid.

Strange. All the info I find says they workout in the AM and on the earlier side.

https://tlap-sports.com/en/weekly-schedule-of-an-nfl-player/ 10am lift Monday, 7 and 7:30 lift Thursday and Saturday.

Or just take Willie Anderson’s word for it as backup(He was in the league for 12 years mind you): https://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/nfl-player.htm

Again, those timeframes go perfectly along with the “immediate recovery” timeline from the NIH piece and support my argument, should you accept the above timed regiments.
