        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "The more consequential variable isn't when you eat protein, it's how much you eat across the day, and whether each meal contains enough leucine to trigger a meaningful synthetic response. Leucine acts as a signalling molecule, and there appears to be a threshold dose required to switch on the machinery."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "If you train fasted, early morning sessions without prior food, then the post-workout meal becomes more important, because you're extending an already prolonged period without amino acid availability. The window matters more when the context demands it."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Custom nutrition isn't about unlocking secret timing protocols. It's about understanding which variables actually move the needle and allocating attention accordingly."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Treat fuelling as part of your preparation, not an afterthought. The science only helps when it is applied consistently: plan around your training and competition, fuel before you feel you need to, and review what works for you over time. Science in Sport products are designed to make evidence-based fuelling simple to get right, so you arrive prepared and perform with confidence."
