    Correct, and my assumption is they would perform even better if they were given that protein from food rather than from supplements

    Notably, they would need to do that, otherwise the study would just be comparing higher/lower protein intake and not protein sources

      That’s not what you said above, you said you thought a group with a regular diet would perform better than a group with a regular diet + protein supplements, which is why you’re getting argued with.

        which is why you’re getting argued with

        What an interesting way of phrasing why you personally felt the need to make it into an argument rather than simply a discussion of a point that may need clarification.

        Also interesting that “what I said” is totally different from your summary. I stand by what I said. I don’t know why anyone would assume the researches comparing protein sources in this hypothetical would bafflingly allow the control group to consume less protein. Regardless, now that the clarification has been provided, do you have any interest in the topic? Or are you just in an arguing mood today?
