Effect Of Dietary Protein and Fat Content on Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS)

Abstract

This paper aims to explore how the ratio of protein and fat in the diet affects the efficiency of muscle synthesis, provide more scientific dietary guidance for amateur athletes and bodybuilders, and provide a concise and reasonable reference for ordinary people who pursue a healthy diet. This paper integrates various academic literatures published on the official platform in recent years and analyzes the effects of protein and fat on the body based on data and experimental results. It mainly aims at and refutes some wrong ideas in the public stereotype, such as the harm of excessive intake of protein, the harm of long-term low-fat or fat free diet, etc., in order to correct the misleading of outdated literature and false commercial propaganda on the public diet concept. Judging from the results, both protein and fat are indispensable parts of daily diet, and single nutrients should not be too much or too little. A normal adult's daily intake of fat should not be less than 20% of total calories, and protein intake should not exceed 1.6 grams per kilogram of individual weight. The results of this study highlighted the important role of various nutrients in the diet, as well as the harm of long-term low-fat or fat free diet, and provided guiding suggestions for balanced diet and daily diet.
