is the amino acid that flips the switch for muscle building. Most adults need ~2.5–3 g per meal to cross the threshold — roughly the amount in 30 g of whey, 120 g of chicken, or 200 g of Greek yogurt. Plant proteins are leucine-lower, so portions need to be larger or supplemented with a leucine-rich source.
