Eat More Protein if over Age 50 - Here’s How Much & Why

[@michaelkennedy996]

T-D-Lauer! 1 month of following a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting and I’m definitely smaller and have better energy. You’ve taught me that I don’t have a bad metabolism because it’s slow, rather I have a buddy that’s really good at storing energy. I’m over 50 and I really appreciate the extra tips and science, thank you so much

[@Intaqa]

Me at 52 after years of keto and running: At 5 PM Friday afternoon I took my wife to get our car from getting new tires. I bounced across the parking lot (well.. I WAS trying to break in my new stiff ass jump boots some) and went into the building. Came out a few minutes later and bounced across the parking lot again and a guy yelled at me "Damn man, slow down!" I yelled back "The day I die man! The day I die." He just laughed and gave me a thumbs up.

This is, in general, my support for doing 2MAD instead of OMAD, and eating three meals the day after resistance training, usually starting my next day with scrambled eggs, or something like that. To balance this, I skip a day of eating (or two) on the weekend, resetting my insulin level to keep it low overall.

[@felipearbustopotd]

Dr Donald Layman swayed me from going from OMAD to a minimum of 2MAD. That said OMAD was getting me results with resistance training, but in small incremental amounts of gains.

[@CarbageMan]

@@felipearbustopotd Great! You may find you can sneak in a mini-meal of about a third pound of lean animal protein (such as shrimp or white fish) shortly after your workout. I pair this with a collagen shake that has EAAs. Then about an hour later after your blood sugar goes down, you can have a keto meal with red meat. That's what I've been doing lately. Depending on the timing and energy balance, you can have a second "real" meal later. I try to make my last meal before 6pm. PS: Interestingly enough, I basically got similar advice from Dr Gabrielle Lyon, who often podcasts with Dr Layman. Her optimal advice was three meals, 35g+, five hours apart. If I have three, I squeeze them together a bit, as described, and make the space at least 3 hours between keto meals.

Funnily enough, I could not build muscle in my teens due to being overweight and insulin resistant. After a couple years of keto, and then a few months of doing fasts, I added carbs around my workouts and absolutely exploded in muscle size. Now that I'm metabolically healthy, I'm not really keto anymore and can tolerate a higher carb diet, but I will fast and use keto in the future.

[@erichanson5628]

Congrats! Which carbs do you eat and when?

[@EhurtAfy]

@@erichanson5628 I have been eating a small meal of oatmeal, bananas, or potatoes pre-work out and actually a few grams of Smarties candy (which is dextrose) right before workout. This fuels a more vigorous workout. After workout I eat carbs plus protein, so whole grain cereal, protein shake, Greek yogurt, berries. The goal post workout is to spike insulin (which will shuttle nutrients) and restore glycogen so muscles are hydrated and repair as optimally as possible. I use low carb and fasting to help maintain insulin sensitivity between muscle building phases.

Will this result in higher serum creatinine levels? I am 73, work out and eat about a pound of red meat a day. My serum creatinine is 1.4 which puts my eGFR at 49, which is considered low and a possible indicator of kidney disease. If I eat more protein will it further increase my serum creatinine and lower my eGFR? Does this mean I am harming my kidneys with too much protein or is the higher serum creatinine not really a problem in the absence of other indicators of kidney disease?

Yes red meat especially and all animal protein will raise your creatinine...with eGFR at 49 your stage 3a CKD...I'm 77 yrs old and my creatinine was at 1.64 and eGFR was 40. By eliminating animal protein and dairy within 3 months my creatinine has dropped to 1.18 with eGFR at 60...if your BUN is high it's another indication of kidney issues.. People in our age group need to cut down on protein and stay hydrated. I only know this because this happened to me...I expect my eGFR to continue to rise... bear in mind I had no issues other then high creatinine and BUN.. If you eat more protein you can expect your eGFR to lower to possible stage 3b or 4. Also the heavy weight lifting will increase creatinine

(I lost 100 on keto but sadly gained 30lbs back in lockdown 2020 when I started eating rubbish takeaways again..but back on keto now to lose that 30lbs regain) I usually use pea protein, whey (even though it illicits a inusulin spike, however good for building muscle) and and creratine to get to over 100 grams of protein per day because for me, I have to cut calories a bit to lose that weight and adding the powders help get the protein up without adding bunches of calories while increasing the protein amounts. xx

@@erichanson5628 the controversy or confusion stems from Metric (grams, kilograms) vs. Standard (lbs, pounds). For example: 0.8 - 1.0 grams (metric) of protein for every pound (standard) you weigh -OR- 0.8 - 1.0 grams (metric) of protein for every kilogram (metric) you weigh I see both formulas used everywhere...but I lean toward the metric conversion myself because I see more of that formula being used. The better written articles and studies will let you know they are converting pounds to kilograms, or going metric, in their discussions. Given the confusion, I would just "ballpark" it since getting 200 grams of protein would be cost-prohibitive to non-bodybuilders but 70-140 grams (pure metric system) is more doable. For ex.

Yeah and higher IGF1 which can lead to more cell division and possibly a detrimental effect on longevity🤔

[@BrandonGolets]

@@MeesterJ And methionine from protein is thought to speed aging as well. The FDA recommends 0.36 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight for normal activity (not sedentary, not hyper-athletic).

I am a Senior Citizen and only understand weight in ibs and ounces..so why use grams and kilograms when that is not part of the USA system?

[@nyalimuir4103]

Thomas thank you... this is excellent!! Appreciate your posts and knowledge 🙏❤

I'm 50 & fast 20/4, how will this work? 🤔

[@robin54733]

Awesome video. More plus 50+ videos.

[@ReadySetGo113]

Hi I have learnt a lot from your videos and to date have lost 11kg and 3" off the waste. I now want to move away from struct keto and increase protein. After watching video I found I would need around 115g of protein (1.5*75). Now using chicken as my example that means I need to consume nearly 1/2kg to get this much protein. Am I missing something? This is a massive lump of meat. I'm also IF which makes even harder to complete in limited window. Any help will be appreciated and keep up the good videos.

[@lindahonrath310]

So how many Oz should I be eating not gram?

[@patricklockhart7512]

I quite often don’t feel like eating protein like I did in the 20’s because of the heaviness of meat. Is there something lighter that can be added between the ‘lack of meat cravings’ lol?

[@zaidalnaib]

what do you think about Kachava?

[@incakola3529]

I am ver confused😮. If i am 160 lbs, i should be taking 160 grams of protein. But, if i convert my weight to kilograms i am 73kg in weight, then i multiply by 1.6 /kg, i get 117 grams of protein? Thats a bi difference?

[@Drawingmylanguages]

As always nice content.

Good info Thank you

What about menapause women over 50

[@longtimelo]

Don't worry about it. You don't have to get as much protein as his guy recommends. He's WAY off base.

[@russvet]

50-80 grams per day is OK.

[@littlevoice_11]

So are we suggesting (based in science) high protein with high fat or high protein with higher carb?

[@erichanson5628]

Not high carb...

[@jillnelson8746]

So protein gms/kg for an inactive woman 70 years old? Ounces- need to split over 24 hours?

[@devilslide01]

So what does this mean for keto people in their 50s ? Should we be higher than 45-50% protein?

[@erichanson5628]

Use an application or website such as lose it or chronometer. Make sure you hit the protein targets mentioned by Thomas. I go with 1g of protein per ideal body weight. In the video Thomas mentions 0.8 to 1.0 grams per lb of body weight so for my case I am in that range. Once you do this add in your carbs and then healthy fats (e.g. avocado, salmon, 1 ounce of unsweetened chocolate, a few eggs). What I observe is that my grams of protein are slightly higher than grams of fat. However calories from fat are slightly higher than calories from protein. It has been very effective for weight loss as well as retaining muscle.

[@lumiboshaj7441]

1 gram is if you are not exercising if youdo work aut every day is 1.2 til 1.6 gr per kg of body weight

[@christinawoodard3754]

I have been eating way too little protein. I will pay more attention

[@littlevoice_11]

I wonder how to implement this within OMAD?

[@erichanson5628]

Watch his video on 2 MAD. Basically stretch your meal over an hour or two....

[@littlevoice_11]

@@erichanson5628 ah, I see. I counted this as my OMAD despite it taking 2hours. Thank you

[@peasoup2980]

What about if you’re obese? I’m 300 pounds shud I be eating that much protein or is there a middle ground? I’m 1800 cal/keto/OMAD one week 2MAD next week. Lost 40 so far I just find that much protein is too much as it’s not 300 of muscle it’s so much fat.

[@dianejones4276]

Pounds & Ounces PLEASE!

[@MsGoddess4]

great informative video.

[@vitopass123]

I have a question: Do you base the amount of protein you take in on your actual weight or do base it on what you should weigh EX. I'm 210 pounds, but i should be 175 pounds. do i take in protein for 175 pounds person?

[@shawnmulberry774]

I base it on my target weight. Its still hard to eat enough but as I lose fat and maintain lean mass, I approach my target weight and I will be eating the correct amount. I started at 235 and a few months later was 190 which was my target. Similar change for you. Im trying to build lean mass (now that I stripped off the fat) and Im eating ~150g protein in two meals that are close together. Not easy. You have to weight train to build mass. I was out of shape so I started with light calisthenics and eventually to weights. I can do 3 pullups now! lol . I was always kind of chubby so I look about as good as my 20s now, same waist and general dimensions. It's kind of unbelievable, and i lost 4 inches of waist!

[@vitopass123]

@@shawnmulberry774 Thanks Shawn. I figured it should be target weight. I lost like 80 pounds on keto, and intermittent fasting.. I was around 300 pounds now 215. I'm also thinking about hitting the weight to build mass as i get closer to my target weight. I'm over 50 yrs, and it not easy, but I'm trying. thanks again.

[@lumiboshaj7441]

You shud definitely based ìn your actual weight because you are eating to build muscle

[@HeathNielsen]

I’m 52. Is better to workout four days a week for 60 minutes each day. Or is it better to workout for 120 minutes two days a week

[@159awi]

It would be great if you and Ted Naiman would do a video together.

[@carmieintegrativenutrition9591]

Isn't intermittent fasting highly recommended? I don't eat three meals a day I eat one usually. You're talking about distribution but I disagree with that or my body does definitely.

[@troymcclain1831]

So if my eating window is 12 to 8pm and I eat 3 meals can I eat 60 grams of protein per meal

[@kingat87]

Does not high protein consumption linked with higher chance of getting cancer in older people? Due to All MTOR ?

[@VKill89]

Good question for Dr. Berry, or Dr. Fung.

[@Cregar1]

Great video but it that for lean weight? I’m am currently trying to lose weight, I weigh 258 lbs with 160 lbs lean weight. So is it 1 lb per full body weight or 1 lb per lean? Also, as others have mentioned, please do more 50+ videos. Thanks ☺️
