Measure
EAAs/Whey (6.3 g Dose First, Then 12.6g)
Subjects will consume 6.3 g of EAAs/whey in \~12 oz water at their first intervention visit, then 12.6 g of the same product at their second intervention visit.
EAAs/Whey (12.6g First, Then 6.3g)
Subjects will consume 12.6 g of EAAs/whey in \~12 oz water at their first intervention visit, then 6.3 g of the same product at their second intervention visit.
Whey Protein Alone
Subjects will consume 12.6 g of whey protein isolate which is an equal amount to the double dose of EAAs/whey. 12.6 g of whey protein isolate: Whey protein isolate alone, which is an equal amount to the double dose of the mixture of EAAs/whey
