To calculate the amino acid score the formula used is, the milligram of limiting amino acid in 1 gram of test protein/ the milligram of that same amino acid of reference protein multiplied by 100. [2] If food has a score of 100 it is to considered as a high quality protein with all the necessary nutrients.
A meta-study concluded that intake of protein supplements higher than around 1.6 g/kg/day do not further improve the gains in FFM (fat free mass) [3] “at least for younger individuals”, [3] with a confidence interval from 1.03 to 2.20 [3] so “it may be prudent to recommend ~2.2 g protein/kg/d for those seeking to maximize resistance ...
