I'm curious if muscles repair only during sleep, what is the point of eating protein for lunch?

Processing time: It takes hours to days for any ingested food to be processed to the point it can be available to nourish/repair your body.Few nutrients other than sugar can rapidly move into position for use. You consume nutrients in a manner that fits with your lifestyle and let your body sort it out.Perhaps you should read up on human nutrition and metabolism.
