@@resendo6036 Its very well documented that we have both correlation and mechanism why protein intake is inversely related to lifespan and healthspan. High protein intake promotes fertility but shortens life bc it increases cell turnover, therefore accelerating senescence/telomere shortening, organs like liver and kidneys also have higher metabolic rate with high protein and therefore „wear out“ slightly faster. In mice this is very extreme and can be seen by direct comparison to a large extent. In humans it seems to be more extreme for healthspan than for total lifespan but is still observable.

Well no not in isolation. Usually when people eat a high animal based diet for muscle gain, they are usually eating LOTS of saturated fats, LDL cholesterol, apoB, and other harmful components. The top largest population studies ever done, shows a positive correlation of .45 or higher, with animal protein consumption and a decreased longevity. The China study is the largest health study in history. Clearly there's some truth to this, if professional body builders are dying at 43 on average. It's one of the deadliest jobs in the world. Of course steroids play a part.

Even if I grant you meat is healthy, can't too much of a good thing be bad?

I've been doing intermittent fasting 20:4 for 5 years now. Eating 2 (1) times a day. A 2 scoop protein shake first, and then a big meal 1-2 hours later. I've built around 15 kg muscle since I started doing this (not because of intermittent fasting, but because I started weightlifting) which demonstrates clearly that you can absorb much more than just 30 grams of protein per meal. Total daily intake oc protein is what matters and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

My personal anecdote is similar to this as well. I increased my bench by 60ish lbs eating 1-2 times a day and gained half an inch on both my arms. By the logic of not being able to synthesize more than 30g, that means i gained size strengrh from 60g per day and i weigh 180lbs. Which counters the 1 gram per pound of bodyweight (i go by lean body mass)

And will gauge my meals throughout the day from 3-5 hrs (depending on what I’m doing for the day accessibility wise) as a thought to only eat/consume protein/nutrients/supplements within the digestion timeline. Is digestion duration a legitimate thought to time meal/supplement consumption or just an over thought? If all that makes sense that is. Lol

It means if you're eating 500 calories in surplus, your body uses the carbs and protein for energy, and stores (some of) the fat as actual fat tissue, because it doesnt need to use it at that moment. Whereas in a 500 calorie deficit, your body is using the protein, carbs, and fat, so nothing is stored as fat tissue, so you lose weight. Thats how i understood it, at a high/simple level
@hunter_69_69
@hunter_69_69 2 жыл бұрын
Jatok's ^ explanation is accurate! I'll give you the more complicated answer - So there's a metabolite involved in the synthesis of fatty acids called malonyl-CoA, which can be synthesized from CHO's and AA's when they are not degraded to CO2 and H2O (and urea in the case of AA's) as a result of being in an energy surplus. Malonyl-CoA is capable of inhibiting a particular reaction in the oxidation of FA's, and also can provide the carbon skeleton for FA's when they are synthesized. Malonyl-CoA usually INHIBITS FATTY ACID DEGRADATION BEFORE SERVING AS A SUBSTRATE FOR FATTY ACID SYNTHESIS (this is what Layne means by the "cushion"), and that is due to the 2nd law of thermodynamics (fatty acid synthesis is entropically-unfavorable, long story short). So it makes more sense to inhibit FA oxidation before actually synthesizing FA's, because synthesizing FA's requires ATP (b/c of the 2nd law), and that would result in more ATP wastage compared to simply inhibiting the degradation of FA's. Simple terms: you basically need to consume a surplus of non-fat kcal's in order to really start synthesizing fat. You tend to see this type of pattern a lot in metabolic pathways, not just fat metabolism. The human body likely evolved in this way to obey the 2nd law of thermodynamics (heat can't yield work with 100% efficiency). Layne's explanation is supported by this paper: academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/74/6/737/4737416 - gains in body fat in a high-CHO surplus are predominantly due to lowered rates of FA oxidation, not so much due to elevated rates of FA synthesis. The "caloric cushion" that Layne mentions is the kcal surplus created by not burning off the CHO's or AA's into CO2, H2O, and urea. Therefore, they end up making more malonyl-CoA, then all the magic that I explained ^ happens! Hope this helps!

Fat tissue is more than just a storage medium. It’s metabolically active and plays a variety of important roles (for example, hormonal regulation). It’s functionally very different than muscle, but it doesn’t just remain inert until “burned-off.” Yes, most will be burned for energy, if needed… but you will die of starvation before burning-off ALL your fat. If it’s just inert stored energy, then why does our body hold on to it until the bitter end, just like any other organ? And perhaps more to the point… muscle protein synthesis continues during a fast. Clearly the amino acids are coming from elsewhere in our body. If that’s not “storage” then I don’t know what is.

It's the same difference as using a cable version of exercises at the gym. It's not the “eccentric” phase that brings “ganiz.” Time under tension, in general, can aid in muscle growth. This can be done with free weights by slowing down the negative movement, using pause reps at the most challenging part of the movement, or banded versions of excerises.

@@deedwells They never said the eccentric phase is where you get all of the gains. It's heavily implied they understand that controlled eccentric provides tension (which you noted as the main stimulus for growth) and stretch (which is also a stimulus for growth). But your resistance band analogy is wrong. The added resistance is one direction only and doesn't affect the strength curve. It's more akin to if you did a bench press but a plate was added on each side for the eccentric and then removed just before you concentric. But I'm willing to bet the added eccentric would be marginal, in the same way that you'd see the difference between using 2 second eccentrics and 5 second eccentrics. At the cost of more overall fatigue. Would be cool to see some actual studies done on the subject, but I doubt we have any good literature currently showing the benefits of a higher loaded eccentric with all other things equal. The obvious answer is yes, it provides more stimulus, but at what cost?

Try to eat during only one hour and build muscle. Would like to see your results! It was hard for me, but nice if you can do it! I have done it!

This has been addressed by Trexler & Nuckols recently in the Stronger by Science podcast. It seems that the diminished protein retention in aging populations might simply be a result of being sedentary. In other words, if you are in such population but still training often, your protein retention effectiveness might be just the same as before, or if it is lower it is negligible and of no real consequence…if you really want to cover your basis, you might bump up to 200, but I’d say 180 might be plenty fine depending on your goals.

Beware of comments that speculate. Know your own body. There are no absolutes in the amount of protein that works for muscle growth in any individual. There are also far too many variables to say “X” amount “should be enough”. If you are getting results, obviously, your protein intake is sufficient. If you aren’t, it could be you need more, but it could be many other things too. BTW, I’m 71 at 180 lbs and my protein intake is around 120 grams / day on average. I’ve had very good muscle growth in the last two years of intense training

The data that you provided on 1-1.2 g/kg being inferior to preserve muscle mass in comparison to a higher protein intake is super interesting. I will be getting my bachelors degree in/as a clinical dietitian Q2 2022 and basically all the guidelines we have to preserve FFM in a state of disease suggest a proteinintake of 1-1.5 g/kg. Me and my professors speculate that this guideline will increase with time and as more litterature on the subject is published. The only downside i see to increasing protein for patients is that it is very satiating and can therefore compete with their energy intake. That would make them more catabolic as the result would be hypocaloric. Appetite is generally not amazing during acute and chronic diseases. Dunno why i wrote this. I guess i just wanted to ventilate 😂

It’s true about the body using roughly up to 30g of protein per meal for muscle development, strictly speaking for protein synthesis. But the body also uses 20-30% of protein to digest and metabolize the calories consumed with said protein.. you also have to consider the need for protein with other features of your body, like hair, nails, skin etc. so eating a meal that has 40g of protein is a safe bet and probably the “sweet” spot for most people who already have more lean muscle tissue than body fat %. If you are overweight and not physically active, then this protein per meal won’t do you much good and THEN it’s more than likely excess calories in the form of protein, that can lead to more weight gain/fatty tissue. It’s always a good idea to eat 1.5grams of protein per pound of body weight when you are serious about your training and development of muscle tissue. But if your just gonna sit around and be sedentary most of the day, it doesn’t matter if it’s fat, carbs, or protein… it’s just a lot of calories you probably could do without. People often say you can boost your metabolism by eating 5-7 meals a day.. but this is actually true when it is applied to a person spreading their meals apart for the protein synthesis needed strictly for muscle development as they maintain a strict training routine for maximum Gainz. As I mentioned before the 20-30% or protein needed to digest and metabolize the calories in protein and the 20-30 grams needed for protein synthesis.. this is why it would appear that your metabolism is increased but it’s stays the same while your body applies the energy you consume with the meals spread apart to get those Gainz via protein.

Leaving carbs and fats aside, eating protein for muscle development strictly for protein synthesis should not raise your insulin levels the way insulin would elevate with eating carbs 5-7 times a day. The average bodybuilder is also taking PED’s which usually include shots of insulin.. why? I have no idea, I’m 💯 Natty, but It’s common for many who are trying to be over 300 pounds of muscle and trying to compete. The overall diet can make a world of difference with the nutrient absorption throughout the day, this is where fruits like pineapple and papaya can play a major role with your overall digestion. There is a lot of talk about fructose being bad, but this is ridiculous, in my opinion. Especially if you are including a fair amount of cardio or greater to your overall standard of health and fitness. The enzymes in papaya and pineapple among other fruits and certain veggies Definitely contribute to better overall the overall nutrition your body takes in from a well rounded daily diet. This means going outside the chicken, broccoli, and rice nonsense people insist on following despite the advances in nutrition available today versus back in the 70’s.. Cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, foods high in Inulin like chickory root.. assist with keeping sugar levels low along with other health benefits. These are a few examples of how eating the right foods can work to your benefit while still spreading your protein intake out daily for maximum muscle development as a Natty or enhanced individual. Much of this information has been accumulated overtime in my own trial and error with research while reformatting my own body composition to a lean mass.. from being over 320lbs. Not to long ago.

@biolayne Genuine question with absolutely no agenda. I simply can’t find an answer to this anywhere. I read some research that suggests that beef protein absorption rate is ~2g/hour? If that number is correct then the MOST beef protein you could absorb in a day is only 48g? Further, if true, protein timing and frequency wouldn’t be relevant because, if you’re eating meat, then you are basically always digesting protein?
