Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: This is scientifically incorrect. ❌ Post-exercise protein consumption is a fundamental strategy to stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS), which is the process of repairing and building muscle tissue. The International Society of Sports Nutrition confirms that ingesting high-quality protein immediately to 2 hours post-exercise robustly increases MPS. The idea that it *reduces* gains has no scientific basis.
