0:29 protein intake value 1,6g lower end to high as 2,4g or 2,7 per Kg 3:22 as long as you have total amount of protein, you dont have to worry about protein timing and protein quality, if you dont have the total number of proteins, you should worry about timing and quality 4:11 leucin and amino acids matter less, if the total threshold is just super high 4:20 timing for protein seems irrelevant for protein, but it is relevant for carbohydrates, to fuel up after workout 5:00 1:1 ratio for strength training example 35 g carbs and 35g proteins 5:39 for really hard condition workout, ratio becomes 3 or 4:1 example 35g protein and 100 or 140 g of carbs 5:57 if you do a combination, little bit of strength little bit conditioning, ratio becomes 2:1 35g protein 70g carbs 7:07 3:1 ratio for hypertrophy training( muscle building) 7:24 we want fueling, to maximize potential growth and recovery

As a personal trainer and nutririon coach the best advice I can give is to eat in a way that works best for you. Adherence to a way of eating and workout routine is of most importance. I believe in eating high amounts of protein and basing your diet off of whole foods, but this can be done in many different ways, in accordance with many different diets.

I do IF for years now and it helped me a lot to get in a very good shape. What I can also recommend is having a little evening walk around 30 min or so after the last meal. It helps with digestion and i have the feeling my body gets a little faster in the fasted state plus my sleep is better.

According to ChatGPT… “The protein content in beef can vary, but on average, high-quality grass-fed beef contains around 26 grams of protein per 100 grams. To get 220 grams of protein from beef, you would need to eat approximately 846 grams (220 g / 0.26) of high-quality grass-fed beef. Keep in mind that these values can vary slightly depending on the specific cut and preparation of the beef.” That is a lot of Beef..

I eat two meals a day one at 5pm and the other at 6pm with 5pm being the heavier meal. I train in the morning around 9am and I maintain my muscles mass. I also feel amazing until around 4 depending on the intensity of the workout. Most people consume way too much food way too often. Our bodies operate best when we are fat adapted, especially men. When I eat my meals I keep my carbs around 70 for the day and if I want to lean out I will lower the carbs to 50 every other day.

What the gentlman is saying here applies to me perfectly but post workout, pre workout even if I'm on the weaker side the training will take care of my energy raising and if Some tiredness sers in in the middle a sip of a protein shake once or twice will be more than sufficient for me. Post workout is different!! After trying many many things, has to be right after shower and it still amazes me how the recovery is noticeable or the road to it, the energy is recuperated, and it stays through the whole day, no fluctuations, that post workout meal happens to be half my daily intake, and the second half at night . Spreading my food intake throughout the day not similar effect.

To Dr. Andy: do types of whey protein (concentrate, isolate, hydrolsate) matter?

[@jamesbondisamonkey]

targeted protein matters a lot...macros matter a lot if you're trying to really pack on mass, but targeted protein, and targeted carbs, will fuel your workout, and you'll get more energy into the workout...and that's the primary way in which you create muscle growth...the TRAINING is what creates the stress on the muscle...So yes, macro numbers matter, but training matters more...a lot more

[@KJ-su4ph]

Well, i also know most of the relevant studies in this topic. 1.4 to 2 grams protein per kg body weight is ideal.

I’ve noticed a lot of people barely eat minimum needed protein a day just for daily nutrition let alone 0.5-1.0 g of protein per lb of body weight

[@DrinkingStar]

Excellent video on carb/ protein intake. I was hoping to hear the amount of protein absorption-utilization rate over a given span of time. A "rule of thumb" I've gone by is that the body can absorb and utilize roughly 25-35 g over the span of 3-4 hrs. I know this is a "one size fits all" generalization. Assuming a 200 lb. person has a rate of 30g per 3-4 hrs., then that person would need to eat 7 times/day. I realize that this may not, and most likely does not, apply based in the body size, gender, training protocol and intensity, health status and age of individuals interested in muscular hypertrophy. I would be interested in Dr. Galpin's and your take on this absorption/utilization rate. I am in total agreement with the information provided in this video.

[@Gabbynator999]

so its not healthly you need intermittent fasting to heal your cells

[@vinesauces4023]

Meat takes longer to digest vs whey... protein is slowly released so we can have more than 30g pre sitting at it last longer depending on individual metabolism

I'm not sure if protein per weight makes sense. So, if you have someone tiny in height but very overweight, should we give that person a lot of protein? It seems to me that protein per height may be more relevant than weight. 🤔

[@glatzigoblin]

No because a person that gets more muscle will need more than relative to that height. Being overweight just takes a different method since this is more about gaining weight.

[@rory644]

I always tell people tell me your ideal weight and multiply x 2 for protein intake

[@RobTaylorTraining]

Protein intake by "grams per bodyweight" is rather crude. Protein intake by percentage of total calories is much more useful and realistic. Trial and error very quickly proves this, as above 50% protein intake, which requires less than 50% to made up of fat and carbohydrates very simply is too low carbohydrate and/or fat intake. Protein intake of 20% means 80% from fat and carbs, which means too much fat and/or carbohydrate. In order to reach ideal amount of fat (25-35%, problems quickly arise at 20 or below and at 40 or higher) and idea amount of carbs (25%-40%, again problems quickly arise above or below this). This very quickly leads us to a protein intake in the 30-40% range. With consistent hydration this can be verified through BUN levels on bloodwork.

[@badrrharri]

I used to train fasted and got very sore on muscles like feeling that I have trained well, but on the other hand is it also possible that I'm wasting away muscle while training fasted?

[@marley720]

You will still gain the same amount of muscle. The only real downside of training fasted is that some people don't have as much energy. Muscle soreness is petfectly normal

[@robin212212]

I think you should have more than enough glycogen and fat in your body to be used for energy without having to get it from you muscles while lifting unless you are running a marathon.

[@randypanthegoatboy2]

If worried at least have some protein before you train, if you don't want carbs. Carbs are anabolic and will stop amino acids being used for energy via gluconeogenisis. If you don't want carbs before, some protein will mean you have dietry amino acids floating around to stop the body eating muscle for energy. All depends on your training intensity, what you eat in your window etc

[@BartWilliston]

If I weight 400 and my goal is 225. Should I calculate my amount of protein for the weight I am at or for my goal weight?

[@PCRyder]

Id be less concerned about counting protein macros; eat clean protein and you'll be fine. Id be far more concerned with removing sugar from your diet. AKA empty carbs.

[@morio9284]

It's recommended 2g protein /per kg lean muscle weight. I. E. : if you weight 80kg with 20% bodyfat, then with 0% bodyfat you would weight around 64kg,so 64kg times 2 = 128gramms of protein per day while you exercise each week.

[@DrOlegKulikov]

A young guy with no muscles teaches people on how to get muscles. Universally. Not to mention that to grow lean mass in older age is much different from getting muscles in the younger age. Different exercise, different duration, a different diet. Plus individual preferences. So, it is funny to listen such a doctor. I am 67, PhD in physics with good experience in chemistry and biology. I know what works for me but I will not dare to give universal recommendations.

So if your body absorbs about 10g of protein per hour, how would a 200 pound man get to 200 grams of protein a day? What are the benefits of consuming more protein than your muscles can absorb? Most people eat 3-4 times a day, why would you squeeze in 50+ grams of protein per sitting? Seems excessive. Just curious

[@par32]

Can fasting on your rest day ( 24 hour fast ) harm any muscle gains or future muscle gains. ?

[@gkountilas]

i think yes, because your body needs the food to restore and grow muscles after the workout. eating straight after a workout isn't necessary, but total intake over the recovery day is very important

[@gkountilas]

Instead, try this: from your last meal on workout day( lets say 3hs from sleep) you dont eat till noon on the next, rest, day. Thats an intermittent fast and still leaves you rest of the day to fill your protein and calorie needs

Before increasing volume, there is more need for protein

[@SmartBodiesLab]

There's no such thing as "pure hypertrophy training." There's more nuance. You could get different types of hypertrophy, first of all, and you could do it in different ways. Isometric, plyometric, Super slow, high volume, etc. All would be optimal with different macro percentages post workout. The other thing that everyone can do better to learn is the difference between myofibrillar hypertrophy versus bodybuilder-type sarcoplasmic and veinous hypertrophy. Check out the book "Power to the People" by Pavel Tsatsouline.

[@johncalla2151]

I'm not sure the studies really have this stuff figured out well. You're not going to be able to build more than an ounce of muscle per day and that's going to be somewhere around 5 grams of protein.
