l heard that epicatechin increases follistatin which builds muscle and lowers myostatin which breaks downs muscle, i was wondering, can you do a video on lowering myostatin by training twice a day (without overtraining) since myostatin drops the most after 8 hours and them working oit again, based on this study, also the link is pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17823296/

[@HikikoAmore]

more importantly is WHEN you get the protein compared to WHEN you do the workout. If you do your workout late in the day, there is very little point in having a bunch of protein for breakfast, as you sit in your office chair all day that protein will be converted to fat for energy, NOT converted to the amino chains you need to have available for your muscles when you just strained them and they need to repair. Similarly, if you do your workout midmorning, there is zero point in having 80 grams of protein for Dinner. its way past the point when you could have used it, and the vast majority will be converted to Fat. what you NEED to do, is take in about 20-30 grams of protein about 30-40 minutes before your workout (so there is some available as soon as your muscles signal they need repairs), and then you need to have your heavy protein intake SHORTLY AFTER your workout, so your body already knows exactly what to do with it the moment it hits your liver. this means your meal plan needs to be based on when your strenuous activity is in the day. If you are active all day you need protein all day. if you have a morning workout have protein 30 min before, and then have a big protein lunch. if you have your workout in the afternoon have a carb breakfast, a light mostly carb lunch, get 30 grams of protein 30 mins before your workout (a small shake probably) and then have a big protein dinner.

[@GabrielCazorlaPersson1]

The protein distribution myth is the only myth that seems like it will never die. From "bro, you can't digest more than 20g of protein per meal" to "unless you hit your leucine threshold, you are leaving gains on the table". This kind of thinking has limited tremendously my gains and the gains of most lifters rather than saved anyone from "missing his gains".

[@bradturner7678]

People will feel they need to behave and act a certain way to make gains, and when they deviate from these nonsense myths they derail themselves and fall back to old far worse habits, so i agree, this meal timing protein myth just does more damage than good for the average joe looking to get into shape. The 1g per lb of bodyweight is another, its nonsense, the average guy whos 200lbs and 30% bf whos never trained before needs 200g of protein? Really?

[@HouseofHypertrophy]

Agreed, some myths are hard to kill haha

[@cenauge]

Honestly, it's hard to understand how this myth didn't get laughed out of the room from the start. As a species, we've spent most of our existence not getting 3 protein meals spaced out across the day. The idea that anything over 20g is wasted is incompatible with our own history unless 20g a day is sufficient protein for the untold years and generations of people leading far more active lives than modern man, subsisting from one large hunt to the next and scavenging whatever they could find inbetween.

[@zerrodefex]

@@cenauge however we weren't bodybuilding either during those ages when we didn't get frequent meals. There's a difference getting enough to survive vs enough to thrive.

You’re confusing, survival with optimal. Yes, you can survive without hitting your leucine threshold, but it would not be optimal for muscle building.

I'd really like to see some studies on night time muscle synthesis on an OMAD type diet with the meal taken just before bed, vs a 3 meal a day set up, with equal total protein intake.

[@JeremyBarbell]

According to NASM, no, it’s not necessarily true. It hasn’t been proven, but it also hasn’t been disproven. There may be a limit, there may not. But as of right now there’s no real evidence to say there is a limit, so eat as much protein as you’re comfortable with. Also according to NASM, there’s no evidence that a high protein diet will harm your kidneys, unless you already have existing kidney issues.

I mean think about our DNA, ancestors ate 1 big meal, bunch of protein, probably 1.5lbs+ in one sitting, thats actually like 150gr of protein or more in one sitting, so sure our muscles adapted to big amounts of protein in one go. I usually cook up a steak of 1.25 lbs, eat around 1 lbs (~100gr of protein) for lunch, then 0.25 leftovers is nice next day for breakfast with eggs (~40-50gr of protein). Can literally eat 3 times a day, with a small dinner (30gr). One can eat just twice, solid breakfast 50-70 grams, and big lunch after lifting, 1.25lbs of steak (125g of protein or so, depending on the cut of the steak). Just get those 150-200g in a day and you good.

Yes, eating your protein should be a daily thing. Every meal should have protein. chicken, tuna, beef, eggs, turkey, are all good sources. Throw some nuts in there. Eat your protein daily and with each meal. Also, eat a little bit ( a small snack) of protein/carbs 45 min before a workout for energy source and to feed the muscles, then eat a high protein meal after your workout to feed and repair your muscles. Stay consistent in your workout and your diet and you will be 👍 ❤ from Los Angeles

[@g.g.2359]

This is on point and confirm real life observations of mine. I am in a no way a fan of fasting, but in my gym i know 2 guys that loves it and they are not on PEDS. They look incredible and both eath their whole calories in a 6 hrs window and fast for next 18 hrs. So distribution does not matter at all. Then again.. what IF the same guys ate more evenly ? Could they be better version of self ? Maaan theres always what IF :S So what i do for a piece of mind is just what i call 4/4/40 method = 4 meals per day , 4+ hrs apart , 40 + grams per meal

[@streetdogg8206]

It sounds like in some specific cases it was shown that larger protein servings or more spread out protein intake didn't bring many benefits, however, none of these cases sound very much like my training routine. It sounds like a small stimulus can only use small protein amounts. Okay, fair enough. But what does it tell me about my attempts to maximize the training stimulus? I'm not convinced these upper limits apply to that. I think I'm gonna keep erring on the side of too much protein instead of opting for the posibility of too little. I don't really see the downsides other than maybe a little bit of opportunity costs of missing out on a few grams of carbs and some actual costs in the supermarket. The risk of the other side is missing out on gains that I trained hard for, just because somebody talked me out of eating more protein with relatively shaky data.

So all these studies are just confirming what we have yet to understand about anecdotal cases.

I've eaten my biggest meal after training for many many years and most of them have been around 90-100grams per meal. I've never believed the myth of protein distribution because it makes no sense in my head. I think total protein per day is the important factor. Either way, sleep and recovery is the most important factor of them all and if you fail here you can eat as much protein and many meals as you want but you ain't gonna see optimal results.

[@Stuart.Branson.]

You can eat however much protein (which comes from animals NOT plants) you want and it will stay in your body and be utilised UNTIL you eat again when it needs to be moved along. So yes Pig out on your favourite steak but leave it to be used at least 8 hours pref 16. If you eat correctly you wont get hungry until this has happened but if you eat shitty carbs, your body will send out a further "hungry" signal soon after because it is asking you for good animal fat to help clear out the toxicity from the carbs. So 3 course meals are a bad idea. Eat to be healthy - not for entertainment. Good luck.

[@RodSherwood1]

If you using steroids, your body is in protein synthesis 24/7/365. Which means your body is turning protein into muscle. When you are just sitting around, you are gaining muscle. You can see the videos of these guys juiced out and eating like every 2 hrs. it is necessary for the people on roids to be constantly eating protein, if not, they are wasting their money on them. As for natural lifters, I would start with the recommended protein intake based on your weight and increase and decrease it to see how you grow. Every body is different.

The biggest issue imo with using whey is how fast it digests. Meats with veggies and fiber provides a much slower release from the stomach.

this doesn’t matter much because the protein isn’t what helps. carbs are the fuel of the body, thats what actually helps you get those extra reps in at the gym / have more energy for it, as long as you’re using only about a scoop of protein a day and also eating fruit + carbs you should be good

For your average lifter, even those who consider themselves above average; just make sure you're getting roughly 1g protein per 1lb of bodyweight and maintain a reasonable (2000-2500) calorie intake and that will be all you need.

Whenever I hear about this topic it is always about protein drinks. I'd like a study where people just eat a steak. 100g of protein from a steak will be absorbed slowly over many hours as it moved further down the digestive tract. This is how I do it. Do a big workout and then eat a 500g steak. I then don't need to think about my protein for the rest of the day as it's being slowly released over that time.

Pavel Tsatsouline, the Russian who pretty much brought kettlebell training to the USA and who synthesized all the data the Soviet state researched for Olympic athletes, wrote that amateur body buillders in the USSR were using soy animal feed and got great results. Read Tsatsouline's books. No BS and very original.

Why they skipped 3 times per day in first study aka what majority of people eat. I tried 2 meals a day and had good results losing weight. But now since I am training 2-3 times per week and physically active in general 6-7 days a week I find I lose weight with 3 regular size meals. So I stick with that and I throw additional protein when I lose too much weight. Also I woud recomend just to stick to regular 3 meals a day with raised level protein and less fast carbs. Yes if you work out a lot so you can't keep your weight or you struggling to eat enough - move to 4 meals a day. If you are extremly fat aka obese - try two normal size meal with mostly good food (more proteins less fast carbs, no liquid callories) so you will be losing fat, but please don't starve yourself as you will quit and would be losing muscle very fast which is not healthy.

So what they are saying is that 3 servings of 25ish grams of protein is probably all you need and the whole gram per body weight crowd is kinda outdated

If you want to stay small.

@@zerrodefex im just going by what the video said

[@larsnystrom6698]

No, that's not what they were saying. Most of the video was about splitting 120 g of proteins over different numbers of meals. And you got that to 75 g?

[@johnsonjohnny675]

@@larsnystrom6698 they mentioned a few different protein ranges. And i said 25ish.

[@HouseofHypertrophy]

Wait, do you mean the video is saying that? If so, that is not what it's saying. Rather there really doesn't seem to be a clear limit (100g still can increase protein synthesis more and for longer than 25g), importantly the direct data mentioned at 5:30 onwards is crucial for understanding protein distribution in the context of an overall diet and training program :)

Amazing

[@HouseofHypertrophy]

Thank you! :)

[@johncalla2151]

The real limit is that you're going to gain no more than 2 lbs of muscle per month which by weight is 80% water. When you do the protein math on that 20% of 2 lbs, distributed down to daily, it's a miniscule amount of protein required for muscle growth.

????????

[@kirkdarling4120]

Your body is doing more with protein than building hypertrophic muscle mass. Hypertrophy is probably at the bottom of the "agenda" for the use of protein in the body.

[@johncalla2151]

@@racerx2580 The amount of new muscle protein you can build every day is very small. Something like 5 grams. If you do the math on that it translates to about 15 pounds of muscle per year. Muscle growth is very slow.

[@John-q7m]

Yes unless blasting steroids, even vegans managed on hardly any

[@dh6072]

It seems weekly training volume and weekly protein consumption are more significant than daily tracking, and yearly weekly volume and yearly protein consumption are even more significant.

[@Gardeking]

This is probably bs

[@NoRockinMansLand]

So essentially, protein distribution is not that important. 3 meals with decently close protein sharings is all that's needed, aiming for 3+ meals to maximise MPS is a waste of time

[@marisrenge3782]

shit so my 22 hour fasting and eating 150 grams of protein within 2 hours is protein down the drain? i eat 1kg of beef and a bit of other stuff daily but yea 22h fasting window daily
