Protein synthesis & its role in hypertrophy is, first of all, not the be-all, end-all of higher protein intake benefits.
So neither 1.6 nor 2.0g/kg/day represents a hard stop with no additional benefits from a higher protein intake. The reason why some people can claim that 1.6 is all that’s needed depends on how complete you want the conversation to be. But, when they make that claim, they are always, and only, talking about healthy, younger omnivores, and they are only looking at protein synthesis and hypertrophy. Seemingly doing so because they are convinced that human health, nutrition, and fitness never, ever go beyond these two things, and that everyone happens to be young, and an omnivore.
This is based on an incomplete understanding, or at least a limited perspective, on food, health, aging, and fitness.

IN THIS ARTICLE, COACH MIKE EXAMINES TWO CONTRASTING HIGH-PROTEIN INTAKE STUDIES, ONE FROM 2005 AND ANOTHER FROM 2025. DEMONSTRATING HOW THEY RELATE TO AND ULTIMATELY VALIDATE YOUR HIGH-PROTEIN, HIGHER-SPC LIFESTYLE.
I’ll begin by introducing SPC (satiety per calorie), a modern food metric, and explain its relevance to a study conducted two decades ago. We will after that delve into the impact of ultra-processed foods (UPF) on overall food consumption and compare outcomes between a high-protein UPF intake and a lower-protein UPF intake under ad libitum feeding conditions. This comparison will illuminate how these findings fit into the broader fact-based SPC food approach.
All fitness modalities provide a big overlap of benefits & unique health & fitness outcomes. Training across all modalities makes you fitter & healthier. It will not hold you back.
