In this video, we’re going to cover protein and muscle loss. How much dietary protein do you need to avoid muscle loss?
RDA - the recommended dietary allowance for protein is .8g of protein per kg or .36 times your pounds. For example, I weigh 185, so I would do .36 times 185, which is 67g of protein I should have per day.
However, there are many problems with the above recommendation.
It might be shocking, but a small portion of the protein you eat actually turns into muscle or body tissue. For example, 100g (or 3 oz) of steak only provides 25g of actual protein.
There are many variables that play into protein and muscle loss prevention:
• Absorption in the gut (insulin resistance, stomach acid, enzymes, bacteria, gut function, inflammation, surgery)
• Quality of protein
• Quantity of protein
• Exercise
• Age
• Illness
• Liver function
If someone exercises intensely, that could affect the amount of protein they need. But the quality of protein is also important-especially since certain proteins do not turn into body tissue at any significant level.
Instead of .8g of protein per kg of weight, I recommend you do .9 to 1.1g. Also, if you keep the quality of protein high, the need for protein won’t be as high.
You can take your weight in pounds and divide it by 2.2 to get the kilograms, and then you can take the kilograms and multiply the amount of protein you need (.9 to 1.1) to get the amount of protein you need in grams.
You may have to eat a little more or a little less protein and see how you feel to determine if you’re getting the right amount.
Taking essential amino acids in addition to your protein can give you a 99% effect of turning into body tissue.

[@annemariesmith5459]

I know everyone knows this, but we have to slow down and chew our food as much as possible to break it down. I think that helps the absorption. I'm so busy, I gulp my food down sometimes. I have to consciously slow down and take a bit more time to chew the protein to start the digestive process before I swallow. Important to make smaller particles to absorb.

[@matthewronson5218]

That's a good reminder. Many people, probably most people, eat too fast. Proper masticating is the first step in digestion and makes nutrients more bioavailable. Stuffing the ole pie-hole makes the gut work harder while getting less out of the food. I am sure this greater efficiency will decrease the amount of food needed, too.

[@chuckentleutner4818]

Yes, with the fast pace world, that's important to remember. Great advice !

[@markleblanc451]

This is THE best explanation I’ve heard yet! I’ve read dozens of Keto, paleo and science based nutrition books. Follow many doctors, RD’s and so called “experts”. Protein and it’s requirements is the most controversial and debated topics among them all. They all have their own theories and quote supposed “research and studies”. There are so many confounders and each person will have their own individualized needs. All these formulas can be confusing and overwhelming like when I first started obsessing over ketones. This looks like a good guide to start with and just gauge it from there based on how you look, perform and feel.

[@livincincy4498]

Very nice breakdown! I want to add that fasting should NOT be a concern here. There are a few studies that suggest that protein absorption is the same whether we eat all in one meal or split throughout the day.

[@tazboy1934]

So fasting will not absorb more protein than non fasting

[@imgh3380]

Optimize with Science , am a bit confused here, as I listened which also make sense to me that when you fast throughout the day , you body is eager to good and will absorb in a good way the nutrition if you eat small amount and don’t fill yourself. So I think fasting is good for protein absorption if you break your fast with your protein as a food not supplements

Whey protein has almost the same aminoacid profile as eggs or meat. The body digest the protein and decomposes it into aminoacids. I don't get how you only "transform" 17% of whey protein into tissue but 48% of eggs into tissue. Doesn't make any sense

[@TechPeasant404]

Finally! Every other Dr Berg video I’ve seen he would use the weight of a protein source like steak as the total amount of protein. Even the leanest meat is 1/3 protein by weight. No natural food is 100% protein by weight.

Two things: 1) Not that I necessarily disagree but what are your sources? It would be nice to be able to review the same journals and papers you get this information from. 2) I'm a big guy and one of the most frustrating things is nailing down how much protein to consume.

[@alphacause]

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I believe that the RDA for protein is low for two reasons that have nothing to do with good science. Those two reasons are: 1. Ideological/Political - Recommending low protein works in favor of vegetarian/vegan diets, which are naturally lower in bioavailable protein. 2. Monetary - Naturally high protein foods have very little profit margin in comparison to lower protein foods because low protein foods are easier and quicker to produce, and their profitability is magnified further due to government subsidies. Then they can be repacked into innumerable refined junk products that have a nearly limitless shelf life. Moreover, due to the stimulation of a blood sugar roller coaster that low protein/high carb foods induce, the consumer feels compelled to eat and buy more food than they normally would.

Thank you Dr. Berg! At last I now know why I need to eat more protein than most people around me, and why some proteins don't work as well as other proteins when I consume the same amounts. ... I feel best when eating 4 eggs + 3/4 Lbs of 15% fat of grass feed ground beef per day. I'm 5'10" 165 Lbs and exercise 5 days/week. (Dr Berry Sears 1st Zone book led me to experimenting with how I feel with various ratios of Fats/Proteins/Carbs & you just recommended pretty much the same thing; as most people don't realize that everyone's ratio consumption's are different :)), as I had to bump the Protein and Fats way up!)

[@randyalanjones]

Sitting here watching different videos of his on how much protein to eat. One on (May 2, 2017), he recommends 156 grams a day for someone weighing 195 pounds. This one, he is recommending a max of 88 grams of protein a day for the same weight. It is amazing how so many of these keto KZbinrs will make videos that contradict each other. In his latest video on protein (March 22, 2021), he says he has never seen anyone gain weight eating too much protein as long as they are not eating carbs. In other videos, he says excess protein will cause issues because it will turn into sugar if eaten in excess. So who knows what to believe.

[@angelodzhakov9568]

Its gram of protein per pound of body weight if you lift weights!

When I started it was killing everyone. Then it became a cash king and then the protein debate started.

[@ln6362]

I was just about to say that, he first said the RDA 0.8× your body weight is way tooo much. Then in another video he said instead of 0.8 he reccomand 1.0 and maybe a bit more because as we age we need a little more protein.

Hello Dr. Berg, Thank you so much for this great video. Were you able to learn whether the RDA's daily recomended protein intake refers to the ABSORBED protein or the CONVERTED-to-TISSUES protein? I believe it is the first case, as there is no mention of the second case anywhere in your videos or website, especially that if it were the second case, this means that one would have to consume way more than average amounts of protein sources per day. Is that correct? Thank you!

[@Crumbling]

The rda is the amount of protein in the food. It doesn't take bioavailability into account. Also this video is not good by the way. The numbers he presents here are totally wrong. If you want to see how bio available proteins are, check the PDCAAS score or DIAAS score (search online)

[@cj-nyc2057]

Smile without a hobby academically speaking this is true. However , In the real world and for the vast majority of us we need to be in a caloric surplus in order to build any noticeable lean mass. This is why most bodybuilders still have a bulking phase and a cutting phase. During the bulking phase carbs would be moderate to very high in order to have energy for intense workouts. Excess bodyfat will be acquired of course and then “cut” during the cutting phase.

Edit: Dr.Berg is not quite right here, the 50% absorption rate of protein from eggs refers to raw eggs while the absorption rate of protein from heated eggs( the kind of how most of the eggs are eaten anyway) is at 90%...now i bet everything he mentioned in this video is related to the raw products so if u consume cooked, steamed, fried etc u should double the absorption rate.

Can you do a video for a 5-day fast with F/sat/Sun refeed. Friday half cals of Sat. All cals in those 3 days. Repeated weekly. I am looking for the same efficiency as daily for RDAs

Hi Dr.Berg. Question: when you say "0.9 to 1.1 g. Of protein per kilo of the body weight", do you mean the gramms from: 1) g. of cooked product? 2)g. of actual protein in the product (like 22 g. Of protein in 100 g of tuna)? 3) g. of protein which is being absorbed ( 33% of 22 g of tuna = ~ 7.3g total)? Please. Thanks.
