How much protein per meal

[@SuperJinong]

I appreciate they addressed the first vid about protein. Real humble.

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Thanks for your comment.

[@jean-rochdelariviere8125]

@@TalkingWithDocs Hi, some people says that we can use more than only 25 grams of protein per meal, indeed I only take 4 meal per day wich means I can only get to 100 grams of protein per day (I need approximately 130). What to do then? Eat a beat more protein on every meal (30-35) or will it be completely useless?

[@NickismyNickname]

​@@jean-rochdelariviere8125there is conflicting evidence on how much protein you should eat in a single serving. Jeff nippard has a great video on the topic but as a short summary up to 50g per serving seems optimal but meeting your overall protein goal is still more important even if you only maange to do it with 2 meals.

[@michaelfera5515]

[@ninjycoon]

They're right that you don't need to be a body builder to know about the science, and they also misrepresented the study. It says that the default suggestion is ~20. The conclusion of the study was that it is unknown what the upper limit is and requires further research. Unfortunately, these guys have conflicting data. Not a source I would trust. Especially with the very passive aggressive attitude they give off. I'm sure they mean well but they need to check their ego.

[@venkatvallabhaneni1227]

If the article in the Journal of the Society of International Sports Nutrition refers to the Aragon and Schoenfeld review, it does not suggest that the upper limit of protein is 20-25 grams like you guys claim. It says that is an upper limit that is commonly proposed. The review aims to look at the research on the topic to determine if this is a valid proposal or if the upper limit is higher. What actually suggest is 0.4 to 0.55 grams of protein per kg per meal assuming that someone eats 4 meals a day. Furthermore, they address the limitations of the research that suggests that the upper limit is 20-25 grams of protein per meal. Since the protein was fast acting and in absence of other macronutrients, this may have affected how well the amino acids were able to be utilized(this is somewhat speculative). Also, the study used far less protein that what is required to maximize muscle growth. Finally, they said that there must be more research to determine the upper limit. And due to the various variables at play, it is a difficult topic to investigate. So yes, if you read the first two sentences of the abstract and ignore the rest of the review, it does suggest 20-25 g as an upper limit. But the actual conclusion is not as concrete and is much more nuanced. You guys are great surgeons, I'm sure. But next time when you make videos about sports science or nutrition, please research more. Being an expert surgeon does not make you an expert on another field. Yes, I probably am just an overreacting gymbro and I don't have nearly as much formal education as you guys. But I don't like to see people with credentials and knowledge misrepresent the literature like this because I know the average KZbin audience member will take what you say as authoritative since you are a doctor and not look further into it for themselves.

Please don't listen to them. Please read the article they mentioned. These guys overstep their boundaries of knowledge. They read the first 2 lines of the abstract of this article they are quoting and decided that's enough knowledge for them to propagate misinformation on KZbin shorts. They cherry picked this study to tell you this when many other studies have been done concluding something different. Even their own study if they had read it properly concludes that more research needs to be done (which it has been) as this 20g per meal is not a concrete conclusion in addition to the fact that this study did not take into fact heavy resistance training which increases the speed of protein absorption

[@Knights0fBlood]

In case you were actually wanting to learn something. there is an actual paper from Schoenfeld and Aragon in 2018 on people who lift and workout more than the average joe, the formula that they created is roughly - 0.55g of protein per kg of bodyweight per meal, is the MAX For example: a 200lb male is about 90kg 90/2 is 45 the rough maximum a person could eat and utilize 100% of that protein synthesis, again this is an estimation.

I am a bodybuilder and coach of 17 years and I'm pretty jacked, 18 inch arms and I bench 180kg. 1) You guys were correct the first time. Studies show that 1.7 grams per lean KG is enough for anyone to build muscle 2) The amount of protein utilised for growth starts at 20 grams and increases up to 50 grams depending on the size of the individual. So you kinda got this wrong now too. 3) You're allowed to give exercise and health advice as medical professional even if you aren't jacked. 4) DR Mike Isratel makes a fantastic video on why you probably shouldn't just listen to the meat head in the gym. 5) Conclusion, just be confident and don't listen to random idiots in the comments, even if you were correct which you were they would have given you shit because you aren't jacked. I feel like this is an over correction, 2.2 grams per KG is ridiculous, 1.7 was perfect. This is coming from a dude who has added 35kg of muscle.

studies that talk about a "maximum" protein limit per meal used fast digesting proteins and also in isolation, with the addition of both fat and carbs, and micronutrients like fiber the speed of the foods through the digestive tract would be significantly slowed and would thus allow a person to absorb much more protein per meal than 25 grams. Nobody is out here eating protein powder for every meal. The real takeaway is to eat a lot of protein and you will most likely get enough absorbed to build muscle regardless of meal frequency and size. The most likely reason you arent gaining mass is 1. you aren't eating enough. 2. you arent eating enough. 3. you arent sleeping enough. 4. you arent training to failure

This particular video is slightly misrepresentative. The study they are referencing used a protein supplement which is fast acting and included no other macronutrients. When you eat a balanced meal you can exceed that amount as it is digested over a longer period of time resulting in similar amino acid levels in the bloodstream as the study, they are just maintained for a longer period of time as a result of having more left to digest. I agree though, I do like the channel, just wish they would have acknowledged the limit in scope that the study they are referencing admits.

​@TalkingWithDocs I'm sorry guys but again this is wrong advice. Let's break it down. Yes we have a maximum number of protein our bodies we can assimilate per hour this is true. BUT that doesn't account for rate of digestion. A steak for example say we eat a 12oz ribeye for dinner has around 75-80grams of protein. Your statement is making it seem like we can only assimilate a third of that when in reality that steak will take 8 hours to digest due to it being beef and high fat content. Different proteins breakdown at different rates and adding things like fat and fiber slow it down. The ONLY time that really matter is say you drink a 45gr whey isolate or hydrolyzed whey protein drink chug it on an empty stomach. You will pee out half of it. We can't look at study 1 dimensional there's more to them

[@TheGamerReaper]

Indeed, I've done it for years and intermittent fasting had no problem building muscle and strength. We can look at sumo wrestlers who eat once a day and build incredible muscle. I've read elsewhere that we can only process around 25 grams of protein at a time. Possibly the excess protein is stored and the amino acids break down over the day and protein synthesis occurs over the whole day, but we are limited to X grams per hour, it could explain why athletes and lifters alike all around the world are not getting hurt physically by OMAD or intermittent fasting. Even from a logical point of view it would seem like a super disadvantage trait to have if we go back to hunter/gather time, where you wouldn't have consistent meals or protein intake. If every past 25grams was wasted then it's hard to believe our species made it to it's current stage in civilization. I would love more research on this topic, sorry for the long comment lol

It's ok there are lots of studies that have reproduced these numbers and the excess sure in the gut and is absorbed slowly or excreted. During recovery they say it can increase to up to 40g. It's interesting for sure

This is just fundamentally incorrect. The RDA is the minimum to not get sick. Even if you are sedentary, you should still maximize your protein intake because that will in fact make it easier to not over eat. You shouldn't be sedentary though, for the record.

That wasnt even the problem with your original video. You were literally telling people too much meat is bad.

[@ZAH622]

Their comments from that video went from stubborn and angry to understanding and happy in this video hahaha

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Thanks for noting that !

[@RawDoggin_78]

i have heard that amino acids that are not used are stored in the intestines for future use so even though you didn't immediately use it for muscle building, because your body can't use that much for regular use anyway and it hates breaking it down for energy as it is not efficient at all wouldn't you use the stored amino acids later in the day anyway? i used to eat about all my protein in one meal for quite some time and still got bigger and stronger virtually the same as if i split it over meals.

[@MrFriendlyfrog]

You guys are great ❤❤

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Thanks !

[@Totallyfootball]

Hey doc I am 11 and getting 100 grams of protein a day is it safe I am trying. Yo get muscle

[@StellarArete]

Watched the first video a few minutes ago. Comments were ruthless😂. But good on you guys for addressing it

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Appreciate that. People are crazy for sure.

[@Jeto]

I really appreciate the extra info! thanks guys!

[@Squeegee93]

I believe that statistic is about how much protein can be used within a specific timeframe after one meal. Its been widely debunked that if you eat a higher protein meal, your body will only ever use 25g of it. The rest is used throughout the day to help repair and build muscles. Just make sure you're hitting your macro goals. How you break that up to make it manageable for your lifestyle / appetite is up to you

[@theoriginalbreadcrumb]

Muscle protein synthesis usually last up to 36-48 hours. So the most important factor in protein consumption will always be how much you eat in that time in total and not how much you eat per meal. There is maybe a small benefit to space out your meals to maximize the effect but it's not an end all be all factum.

[@cheezeitz459]

So does eating 40 grams of protien in one meal cause weight gain?

[@cherylrobbins9926]

Love you guys. Don't let the negative comments bother you because they don't know what they're talking about. Question: Is 20 g the most protein the average person should eat per day or per meal? I was kind of confused because at first you said 20 grams per meal but then you said break it up over five meals. Please clarify

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Thanks for the positive reinforcement. And sorry for the confusion. So that study said that the maximum amount of protein that can be absorbed for muscle building is approximately 20 to 25 g per meal. The amount of protein you should eat per day if you are sedentary, is approximately 1 g per kilogram. It increases with the amount of activity to do.

[@soonahero]

⁠@@TalkingWithDocsdid they not teach you critical thinking? Write out how many meals and protein for one day of a sedentary and non-sedentary Let’s pretend you’re 100 kg. If sedentary you’d need 4-5 meals Let’s pretend you’re not sedentary. What, you’re going to eat 12 times a day? Absurd

[@dorothydamboise2493]

😂😂you two, totally the best ❤

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Thanks !

[@JasmialNand]

Small or not you bros need to keep making more of these!!

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Ha that's awesome! We will. It will take more than a few gym bros and their hate to stop us 😀

[@karlbellander3463]

Like music to my ears!❤

[@TalkingWithDocs]

So glad you liked it!

[@danielredmon6660]

Love you guys and the videos geared toward bodybuilding

[@GrzegorzDurda]

6 meals per day is already standard practice. You can digest unlimited protein in one sitting also. Like a 5 lb steak. No it wont come out undigested in the toilet.

[@exebba7523]

@TalkingWithDocs The article literally says that other macros are absent. Obviously, if you consume only protein, your body isn't inclined to use all of it for Hypertrophy. It's always a balancing act between stressors vs recovery. If your body has incurred a lot of damage, it is more inclined to use the protein for repairs rather than energy, especially so IF THE OTHER MACROS ARENT ABSENT. It's the same reason why you're more inclined to build muscle if you have more body fat.

[@soren4904]

Respect for updating the information. You guys seem to have been yoinked into the fitness section of the algorithm

[@TalkingWithDocs]

We better hit the gym a little harder I guess.
