How Much Protein Should You Eat?

[@miguelplays2921]

This channel should the biggest fitness channel on youtube you deserve it 💯

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

glad you like the content 👍

[@user-ob7zn3yh5e]

Your channel is criminally underrated it's not even funny and I think most people don't realize the amount of tedious work needed to create a video like this

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Glad you appreciate the videos 👍

[@sayanbiswas_sports]

Loved the content! I was too confused from listening to different sources. Now i finally know what is needed. 💛

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

glad it was helpful 💪

[@kaiserfakinaway5909]

omg thank you! You looked into so many important studies that explain why I still retained a LOT of muscle while eating only 1.2 g/kg of protein. This makes me less anxious about not hitting 1.5 g/kg. Again, thanks for this. I can just chill out and continue my journey. God bless you man.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

yes, you will be fine hitting 1.2g/kg. Going higher will probably yield slightly better muscle growth retention, but no where near as important as resistance training 👍

[@Insomnolant1335]

I'm down 56 lbs. since February 12th and still going strong. I even took five weeks off and simply maintained my weight to help my body adjust. Now I'm back to losing again and it's going smooth. I aim for 0.8 grams of protein per pound of my goal weight and that's been working great for me.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

nice work 👍

You sound a little ill. Get well soon.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Yes, I was recovering from a mild cold during the time I recorded the audio. Thank you 🙏

[@itzcoatldefuego]

Great content, as always. 👌

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

cheers, glad to hear it 👍

[@SkepticalCaveman]

1'5g/kg on rest days and 2g/kg for lifting days. The difference between days can be covered with protein powder, so the meal sizes remain the same. I use pea protein powder so that my methione levels don't rise too high (methionine seems to promote cancer growth)

[@abdulwahababuhadeed4307]

Can't you take a daily average?

[@jamiebonner8764]

Awesome work mate

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

cheers 👍

[@PomPiDoum]

Great content. For the plant protein, you also have to take the proportion utilized by the body as this is really important.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

cheers!

Amazing in depth video. Very informative. Learned more from this than from my trainer.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

glad to hear it 👍

[@jaysimpson6857]

Most concise yet comprehensive explanation of the subject I’ve seen yet, though I’m always left wondering if notably less protein is required for myself who is mostly sedentary, 35 years of age, 12% body fat, an office worker who only exercises 2 - 3 times a week resistance training for the purpose of bodybuilding.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Glad to hear it! Good question. I haven't looked into the concept of adjusting protein intake based on activity levels, but it is certainly possible that you might require a lower intake 🤔

[@gerym341]

Thank you for another very informative video

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

no problem 👍

[@andersonnitsche957]

The strength might be because could get more energy from carbs

[@xclusive2168]

Just to be extra safe can i eat at 0.8 grams on a bulk protein and for cutting 1 gram per lb

[@freakythinker4821]

Very useful video.

[@emil5851]

I love your content, thank you for going through all the studies and funneling the knowledge into the video.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

no problem, glad it was helpful 👍

[@ManjaroBlack]

This is one of the better videos on protein intake, but not perfect. I like that you’re recommending and talking about scaling protein intake based on lean body mass. Most people completely ignore this. Protein requirements are scaled based on two major factors and one minor factor. First lean body mass and second activity level determine the bulk of a persons protein requirements. Finally genetics plays a minor role in protein requirements.

[@allurn1804]

Damn I weigh 60.5kgs and regularly eat between 200g-260g protein and am around 10% body fat as per the Priceline Pharmacy Sisu Health Station BIA! I'm very active though, play ⚽ and train calisthenics with rings throughout each week, and love milk, Greek yogurt, salmon, coconut water, bananas, eggs, qunioa, potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, mixed berries, apples, mixed nuts etc ! Adherence isn't an issue as I love this kind of diet. Should I be concerned though?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

It is a very high protein intake, but is you don't have any adherence issues, then it should be fine 👍

[@allurn1804]

​@@FlowHighPerformance1 thank you mate, I definitely adhere to and enjoy a high protein and dairy / animal based diet

[@Pazuzu-]

As much as you can afford. Remember that the more protein = less carbs and fats.

[@christianduval8374]

How to scale the recommendation w.r.t older dudes?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

just add an extra 0.1-0.2g / kg to the recommendations 👍

[@Festano676]

If I’m eating more than 1.5g protein per kg of bw, but the ratio of muscle I’m losing weekly compared to the total weight lost is at 36% (according to my smart scale), is it because I’m not eating enough carbs? Or is the deficit too high?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

1. Make sure you are resistance training to preserve muscle mass. It is far more important than protein intake 2. Home smart-scales are usually not that accurate, and I wouldn't be too confident in detecting changes in muscle mass from them 3. BIA (technology used in smart-scales) measurements are susceptible to changes in water & glycogen. This can influence how much muscle/fat is recorded by the scale 3. Depends how fast you are losing bodyweight. In most cases, you want to lose no more than around 1% BW per week

[@Festano676]

@@FlowHighPerformance1thank you for the reply! And thanks for the great contents! I forgot to mention I am doing resistance training but also aerobic exercise 3 times a week. I’ll try to rely less on the smart scale and maybe more on circumference measurements

[@kiddfamilyfarmllc9962]

Do older adults require more protein?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

older adults can benefit from higher protein intakes to offset sarcopenia. Although resistance training is still #1 priority for muscle & strength gains 👍

[@ember9747]

I don't think epidemiological data is good enough evidence to suggest limiting protein intake to a maximum of 1.2g/kg bw.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

True. It is very vague, but it the best evidence we currently have 🤔

[@ember9747]

@@FlowHighPerformance1 Since muscle has very beneficial effects on health and longevity, I personally would give the same recommendations for muscle and health

How much protein to maintenance calories?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

I don't understand the question 🤔

[@ICcccreg]

@@FlowHighPerformance1 like I wanna keep at 15-20% body fat and stay at a certain weight, how much protein should I eat at a recomp phase

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

at least 1.5g / kg / day 👍

[@rajabp6947]

Isn't soy high quality protein so the omni and vegans just took high quality protein

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Yes, there are some plant-based protein sources with 'complete' amino acid profiles. But generally animal-protein have a more complete profile than most plant-proteins. In any case, it doesn't really seem to influence muscle growth anyway 👍
