Eating 100g Protein in One Sitting has Longevity Benefits - New Study Finds

[@joe1071]

Been front loading 100g protein for breakfast everyday for a couple months now. Find it much easier to hit total protein goal for the day this way. Used to be harder to plan my protein splits the rest of the day, and busy days I’d often fall behind. Plus I’ve put on muscle with a hybrid athlete training schedule. It’s been great

[@asdf1991asdf]

Same. I have found there is a massive difference for muscle building when you have protein in the morning, as opposed to skipping breakfast and missing that anabolic window that I believe due to circadian reasons exists most prominently in the morning.

[@oiledbronze]

This 100% especially with the new research showing the MPS increases and still digesting after 12 hours!

[@CRUSHEQUITY]

The most eye opening thing that has happened to me so far on my body recomposition journey is when I built 4.5lbs muscle and lost 15lbs fat from 3-4-24 to 4-7-24 while doing 100% OMAD. That told me right there that the working theory you could only absorb 40g protein at a time was BS. It would be impossible for me to do what I had done if that was the case. I switched to High Protein/Moderate Fat keto immediately and have not looked back since. I know this what ive been figuring out via trial and error on my journey. 75-100g protein after workout, 1-2lbs meat couple hrs later with some eggs or split into 2 meals for 300+g protein in 2-4hrs and I instinctively knew it was the right thing for my body. I also feel 10x better when I workout fasted. No shakes. Even doing 8-10 sets of squats, but if I'm not fasted I get shakes about 4-6 sets in.

[@thisisbriannaandrea]

This is super interesting! I have essentially been doing this for the last year. Just before i break my 18:6 fast I will do a medium intensity cardio workout (usually a brisk 1-2 mile walk; 15min/mile), and then consume a high protein meal of 75+ grams with very little carbs. I feel great, fat is melting away, maintaining muscle mass, and still in a caloric deficit. Also, hunger and cravings are almost non existent.

[@anti-matterfamilyclan7237]

Whats up Thomas. I wanted to add that you should show what 100g of protein looks like with its various forms: beef, chicken, eggs, ect. For example, a half chicken (breast, thigh, leg and wing) equals x amount of protein. Best wishes bud.

[@MatthewClaassenCMT]

Great info. I remember reading s science articles that stressed never eat more than 35grms of protein at a time. The rest was waisted. Other articles indicated protein intake before a workout was important to protect muscles. We have come a long way.

[@markosz22]

And this info might be just another thing that will end up just like those. That's the issue with single, minor studies that are presented as a final, definite solution.

[@annenittis6506]

I read the same? Wonder what is the current thinking update is?

[@FreedomFox1]

@@annenittis6506 The new research shows you ideally want at least 30 grams of protein per meal, if you want to maximize muscle growth. But more is definitely better, up to 0.8-1.0 grams protein per pound of body weight (in a day). Hitting this daily goal is more important than getting 30 g per meal.

Prior to this, it was eat your biggest meal of the day first, then eat a smaller meal in the evening. King in the morning. Prince or pauper at dinner. Eating lighter in the evening is thought to aid sleep too. Now it’s reversed? Or just balance it out and eat fairly big at both meals? I was eating a lighter breakfast and heavier dinner post workout, then switched. Now consider switching back or balancing protein intake?

[@XTR02]

It’s amazing how nutrition evolved so radically over the past 15 years. I read so many books on fitness and nutrition from 2006-2009 that I felt I knew everything and never really took current studies and results into consideration because I considered them as gimmick fads that come and go. When I was a teenager, it was all about the wheats, the fruits, veggies, lean protein and protein shakes. Then it became about healthy fats, moderate wheat-based carbs, veggies and lean meats. Then it turned out that red meat is bad, if it isn’t organic meat that it can kill you, moderate fat and moderate carbs. Yesterday, if we consumed more than 25g of protein then the remaining would go to waste. Here we are which carbs and sugar are evil, saturated fat isn’t all that bad and the more protein the better regardless of how much in a serving. I feel that a new study will conflict the current state of nutrition and a new study will conflict that and another one will conflict that. The bottom line is if it came from the ground and grown as God intended it or if it was a life, raised/lived happily and healthy as God intended it then you’re on a good path. Where is the God based diet and how come that isn’t a thing??

[@UsYoungAgain]

well, there is dietary remarks in many texts. The only thing we are not created by god, we are created by gods and not from scratch.. we have specs of the biological entity they are based their creation on... ape like creature... for example, we have grasping reflex in newborns - the remnants when we were hanging in the trees.. using all fours..

Scientifically it doesn’t even make sense to think only 25-30g of protein would get used as that’s just not how the body functions. I thought it was common sense to just cram protein in post workout, but I guess that’s also because I typically only eat 2-3 times a day lol.

I can't help but think that the reason frequency of protein ingestion became all the rage was because the nutritional research that seemed to substantiate frequent protein consumption helped the profitably of protein supplement companies. After all, if people were under the impression that frequent protein consumption was the only way to maximize muscle protein synthesis, the most convenient way to do this is to resort to protein shakes, as acquiring and preparing protein rich food for that meal frequency is much more cumbersome and expensive.

Yeah perfect meal plan for performance plus longetivity might be one high carb meal zero protein pre workout then a meal post workout with all daily protein ensuring this meal is at least 4 hours before sleeping.

[@RaimoTamm]

My takeaways from this is, that right after resistance training, one should consume some fast absorbing proteins (approximately 30 grams), then about 30 minutes later about 70 grams of lean protein of whole foods (lean fish, lean chicken, egg whites and/or etc). Meaning, not just slamming it all down in five minutes, but taking some time to drinking the shake and then chewing the food properly without rushing to get it down. I build some more to it, trying to compliment the information given in this video. So feel free to correct me if I misinterpreted the whole point of all this. Adding some more to it, it makes a lot of sense to stress the importance of getting enough protein without other macronutrients; carb especially what comes to this: studies have shown that high insulin levels brings growth hormone levels rapidly down. So, in order to have sustainable levels of it, as much as possible, and giving body the building blocks it needs, it seems to be reasonable to contsentrate on protein intake. Especially at that time (post training). And limiting fat intake (a bit omega 3 is beneficial, though) enhances the protein digestion speed in a beneficial way. As a fan of buckwheat, I have to point out that there was a good buckwheat dish shown in this video. Everyone, go and try out(and experiment) different ways to prepare and compliment buckwheat meal with different ingredients to it. Live well, healthy and strong, you all!

[@TigerShark316]

So now my question is do we factor in our daily calories to that meal also? Or is this specific to a protein-sparing fast?

[@darkhorseman8263]

You want to disrupt autophagy, though. Genetic repair activation deactivates autophagy, and a waste product metabolite of genetic repair, hydroxyguaninine, stimulates muscle growth. You want to temporarily disrupt autophagy to grow muscle, then switch autophagy back on at night while you sleep to do a clean up and repair. Longevity researchers don't understand how mtor works at all. It's not overactivation. it's dysfunctional activation of mtor that is the problem. What you found is, perhaps, a way to grow and maintain muscle without exercise to stimulate it, but it isn't the whole story.

[@intelligentyolo]

What would be an ideal schedule for protein intake and workout per your understanding?

[@darkhorseman8263]

@intelligentyolo Leucine rich protein or Mtor activators first thing in the morning and through lunch. Also, genetic repair activators early in the day. Autophagy activators and anti inflammatories at night before bed. If you take rapamycin, make sure night is when it should be used, not during the day. Gotta lean into how clock / bmal circadian rhythm genes naturally work. Pro inflammatory mediated growth phase and mtor activation during the day, anti inflammatory autophagy, and Mtor deactivation at night when you sleep. Long comments like this usually get shadowbanned. I'll use my shadowban monitor and will reword it if they play games of censorship.

**Key Takeaways from "Eating 100g Protein in One Sitting has Longevity Benefits - New Study Finds" by Thomas DeLauer** 1. **Dual Benefits of High Protein Intake**: - Consuming high amounts of lean protein in one sitting can stimulate muscle protein synthesis without disrupting autophagy. - This allows for both muscle growth and longevity benefits, which were previously thought to be conflicting goals. 2. **New Insights on Protein Utilization**: - Contrary to past beliefs, the body can effectively utilize up to 100 grams of protein in one serving post-workout. - This is significant for those practicing intermittent fasting or eating fewer meals. 3. **Autophagy and Protein Intake**: - Autophagy, the cellular recycling process crucial for longevity, is not hindered by high protein intake. - While high carbohydrate and fat intake can disrupt autophagy, protein intake does not create a significant caloric surplus to affect it. 4. **Practical Application for Optimal Results**: - Being in a caloric deficit is beneficial for longevity while consuming a large amount of protein post-workout maximizes muscle growth. - This balance can be achieved by consolidating protein intake around the workout period. 5. **Recommended Post-Workout Nutrition**: - Consume easily digestible proteins like whey or plant-based protein shakes immediately after a workout. - Follow this with solid protein sources such as meat or seafood to maximize muscle protein synthesis. 6. **Protein and Muscle Efficiency**: - Healthy muscle cells, maintained through autophagy, are efficient in using fuel, enhancing workout effectiveness and muscle strength. - Exercise increases autophagy more than fasting or caloric deficits, promoting cellular health. 7. **Practical Implications for Intermittent Fasting**: - Individuals can consume large amounts of protein in fewer meals without compromising muscle building or longevity. - For example, fasting for 24 hours and consuming 150 grams of protein in one meal can still be effective. 8. **Long-Term Benefits**: - Increasing protein intake while reducing caloric intake and exercising properly is highly beneficial for both body composition and longevity. - This approach supports muscle mass and strength while maintaining the benefits of autophagy.

What about when you're working out after eating protein? I was at a gathering earlier today and had a lot of protein for my meal. A chicken breast, a burger patty, a sausage link, 2 devilled eggs, and some cowboy caviar. As good as this meal was maybe I ruined it with the cake afterwards. Fast forward about 4 to 5 hours later I'm doing laundry so I'm lifting some weights and doing some body weight exercises to offset some of my dietary choices from earlier. Does the fact that I ate all that protein earlier today still benefit me lifting weights 5 hours later?

​@@DK-pr9ny I'm not sure the OP said not to resistant train. The OP seemed mainly concerned with muscle mass.

if you eat 100g of protein only without to add any fat (animal fat or butter) or carbs then where from do you get fuel energy ?

What does this do for the kidneys? Kidney disease is diagnosed by measuring protein in the urine. Unlike much of the body, kidneys don't regenerate.

Gout result in regard to this vid. Also, I find collagen peptides are highly unhealthy for me, casuses oxalate problems aches n pains, due to the hydroxyproline oxalate pathway.

Can anybody tell me what errors the old study committed that led them to believe protein had to be spaced out?

[@UsYoungAgain]

guess it was a conjecture not a fact..

[@kedabro1957]

@@UsYoungAgain Found this ... ------- "Previous studies were limited to 45 grams of protein and 6 hours duration. Perhaps 45 grams isn’t enough to get to the bottom of the protein synthesis question. The methodological key was a 12-hour sampling window that allowed researchers to see longer-term responses. " ------ To find the full article, google " Trail Runner Mag" and "Protein Consumption".

@@UsYoungAgain I found the study.. Turns out they only tested for 6 hours. The new study tested for 12.

I find this hard to believe. I'm going to give it a go anyway. Wish me luck hope it works.

Rabbit starvation should be mentioned as a warning, when promoting lean protein. It's impossible to just eat lean protein and nothing else because it leads to death through rabbit starvation. There are always people that takes things to the exteme, so warning about rabbit starvation something worth doing.

[@robh1032]

This is true, however, outside of a survival situation where ur expending more calories than taken in (by many factors) the average person will notice the craving for fats and will have access to it

[@dontfit6380]

Where are you going to get lean enough protein to cause rabbit starvation? Well unless you’re going after wild rabbits which I doubt most are.

[@SkepticalCaveman]

@@dontfit6380 chicken breasts or turkey, for example.

@@robh1032 ever heard of eating disorders?

[@robh1032]

@@SkepticalCaveman yes, theres also people who work out until they have rabdo. Theres people who have body dysmorphia and will always think they are fat when they are working out. Does he need to give a “warning” for every possible mental health issue? Thomas provides a scientific view into a single item at a time. Theres gotta be personal responsibility about our health and well being. Not thomas’ responsibility

This is very hard if you are working out at 5:30 in the morning

[@meissnerflux]

Timing isn't as important as one might think. Consider a longer stretch of time like 12 to 24 hours for the importance of a feeding window

[@BatmanBoss]

I recall when they said eating more than 30 grams protein at one time was a waste

[@Nick-gg6tg]

Longg as time ago. Makes zero sense if you actually think about it practically

They're still saying it I'm sure. Not sure what to believe.

Is that mean eating whey protein will not break intermitent fasting?

[@J1NX1978]

So, when i get up at 0500, get some electhrolytes and l carnitine, take a 10km walk and have a bullet Proof coffee later at around 0800… then lets say i would have a small protein snack ( i am on keto diet) at around 1300 and will do my workout at 1800, i can have a 100g plus protein dinner after that and i would be in autophhagy the whole day? So its not 16/8, it 24/0? 😂 Maybe i misunderstood something here 🤔

[@DAMIAN_SVHETS]

will eating 100 grams of protein at a time knock you out of ketosis?

[@dennisward43]

There needs to be far more studies on this to convince me but it is interesting.

[@Kimberly-pi8my]

Just curious, what is your diet now, and what studies are you following now in regards to your diet? Not being sarcastic.

[@fitnessfitness521]

would you eat 150 gr. of protein in one meal , Thomas , and be honest

[@UsYoungAgain]

lol)))
