5 Tactics to Implement Nutrition
Recommendations
3. Take a look at quality of protein
served at meals
 Complete protein sources
 High levels of leucine needed to activate
protein synthesis & tissue accretion
 Best sources leucine in food: beef, pork,
chicken, egg
 Best PRO supplements: whey
 Symons T, JADA. 2009;109:1582–6.

5 Tactics to Implement Nutrition
Recommendations
4. Add Amino Acids (AA)
 Arginine
 High energy, high protein product with
added AA
 Add separate AA product
 Key to success= adequate protein &
energy intake
 Arginine supplements do NOT count
toward total protein requirement
