In the citing paper
“However, within the sports nutrition literature, athletes are generally advised to consume between 1.4–2.0 g/kg/day to support muscle maintenance, recovery, and adaptation to training [18,19].”
From Optimizing Performance Nutrition for Adolescent Athletes: A Review of Dietary Needs, Risks, and Practical Strategies (2025) · cites this paper as [18]
In the citing paper
“Studies recommend consuming 20–40 g of high-quality protein per meal, spaced every 3–4 h throughout the day [18,19]. This approach supports sustained anabolic signaling and muscle recovery, especially during the 16–48 h window following resistance exercise.”

In the citing paper
“Beyond total intake, the timing and distribution of protein are critical for maximizing MPS.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
