Researcher Nicholas Burd, PhD, presents the role of isolated protein supplements as contributors to anabolic fueling strategies. Dr. Burd is an Associate Professor at the Division of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Illinois.

We are thankful to our partners at the National Dairy Council for sponsoring our Expert Sessions.

Learning Objectives:

1. Define the difference between isolated protein supplements (plant vs. animal) and whole-food sources of protein on anabolic potential
2. To become familiar with how protein timing and distribution impacts the skeletal muscle adaptive response
3. Make evidence-based dietary recommendations about protein source and timing based on athlete-specific factors
