[@avaj9519]

I remember reading (but for the life of me cannot refind) an article summarising a journal article, where the results suggested that the 30g limit was related to how quickly a protein shake will move through your digestive tract with NO OTHER stomach contents and that time taken was what limited how much could be absorbed. As opposed to eating a steak, which requires more time in the digestive system because it is made of much more complex molecules, and hence you can "absorb more of it" because it will stay in your system a lot longer?

Also an important fact is protein transport. If you have unbalanced amount of individual proteins (leucine, tyrosine, etc), as found in protein powders, there will be competition for receptors and you may not get a complete protein profile. That's why real food is better, they already have the balanced amounts and competition is not as high.

Most bodybuilders would have nowhere as much muscle if we could only absorb 30g of protein per meal.

[@santosh99samuel]

Carbs have a protein sparing effect, i.e if you have protein in isolation...most of it will be diverted for energy needs, with carbs and fats in the picture they manage the energy dynamics while the amino acids can be relatively free to be used for muscle building. :) The only decent thing I learnt from my biochem nutrition 101.

[@SmartAss4123]

You forgot about fats

[@laimonaslb]

The more you fatigue, tear and destroy muscle fibres, the more protein your body needs to repair and grow that muscle, thus allowing for more protein absorption and synthesis, so guys train big and lots THEN eat big and lots!!!

[@dropbear66548]

Amazing content mate! Finally someone is putting out proper fitness/nutrition content

[@cebuanoguy]

I think protein synthesis and utilization is way more higher during an intermittent fast. HGH and Testosterone levels peak around 14-20hrs in a fasted state. Insulin levels will be high when a big meal is introduced but a big meal introduced in a fasted state also activates Glucagon. The reason why Glucagon overrides Insulin is because of the Fat conversion to glucose. The breakdown happens is almost instantaneous. If you compare that to Insulin/Glucoeogenesis that requires approximately 3hrs+ for protein to move from the stomach to the small intestine to the large then to the colon and rectum. Also having a high protein diet and glucagon utilization is the only way to develop the Type 3 Glycolytic super muscle fiber. Boxers and sprinters are the only athletes thought to have these type of muscle fibers.

[@rhythmandacoustics]

I think you should say a caveat, that consuming proteins usually comes with high fats, and that high fats and protein can cause other non-desirable effects on ones body. One should look at the whole body and not just muscle growth. Some studies say that too much protein can stimulate IGF-1 and cause a high probability of developing cancer. Not yet fully proven but pretty sure most guys after seeing this video will binge drink protein shakes believing they will get jacked. It promotes bad habits for young adults and teenagers. Well Balanced diet with lots of variety is key. Also there is a big problem with guys these days being concerned about being big instead of being healthy. Big Muscles doesn't necessarily mean better.

[@ArthurPhan]

I weigh 57KG (new to this stuff, been working out almost full body for 40+days now) and I'm eating 3000 calories and 151 grams of protein a day (sometimes a little over) my diet consists of Porridge for breakfast +milk+cream (trying to also gain weight, I'm too skinny for my height), Protein Granola oats+milk for lunch with a banana, regular dinner with mixed vegetables usually Quinoa, (could be steak/chicken/fish/big ass omelette) and another helping of the protein granola oats as another "meal". Sorry for the long read, but am I doing too much? I'm hitting my goals every day and I'm seeing a positive difference in my skinny body! I'd be interested to see someone's response to this!

[@kgr04]

Jayjay1k As long ur achieving what u set out for urself and ur seeing results, then keep it up. Once u start lifting more and more, you'll tweak ur diet and routine further but i guess for now it looks like thins are working.

[@kgr04]

things*

[@loonaticaaron]

Jayjay1k 151 grams is way too much for your body weight and if you're eating 151g of protein and somehow only getting 3000 calories a day WITH milk and carbs, you're definitely not eating enough carbs or counting your calories wrong. My advice is to eat more carbs and eat no more than 80 grams of protein.

2:50 so based on this, if you're not fasting, muscle break down is reduced. While that sounds like a good thing, isn't that bad? If muscles don't break down they can't be repaired.

[@MedicEne]

Awesome video

[@nesirsitsir]

1:59 to 2:25 what was the point of even including this study in your vid? 1999 observational study of 80% prot in 1 meal vs 80% prot over 4 meals in elderly vs. young women who undertook no weight training? It is completely unrelated to the topic...

[@MAGAMAN]

I thought that was weird too. I'm sure these people were only eating about 30g of protein in the first place, so it would be irrelevant to the subject.

[@joshcarey2916]

Basically he was saying the rate of protein synthesis was the same, so it's pretty much common sense to obtain that a healthy male/female weight lifter would also have the same result if not increased levels of protein synthesis and decrease in muscle breakdown.

[@nesirsitsir]

Sykin Blaze I sort of get where he was headed when he included that study but when you analyze the details it really doesn't belong in the discussion at all. All variables between the two groups were controlled (both ate small and large meals for comparison; both were physically inactive, both were women). The only differentiating factor between the two was the age of the participants, i.e. the trial was solely looking for differences in said data between young vs. old study groups. If PictureFit's video was debating whether or not young people could gain more standardized muscle mass than old people regardless of how they separated their protein intake then the studies inclusion would have made sense.

[@joshcarey2916]

Yeah I can understand that. But overall in this video he got it right, broscience of 30g of protein at once is completely false. Studies now show and support that if you have 150g of protein in one meal versus 150g of protein spread across 5 meals, your rate of nitrogen excretion and protein synthesis is still the same.

[@Spartx1]

This study is often use to justify the "protein pulse feeding pattern". It's interesting to spot the limitations of a widely used study.

Personally, when i started dieting, what i did was take protein meals in partitions rather than in one sitting. Then after, a time came where, i decided to do fasting then consume a protein dense meal in one sitting, idk why but this then lead to augmentation of acne so I went back to my old habit of taking protein meals in partitions. Taking this info into account, i believe that its due to the excess protein that my body won't use i guess.

You need calories. Protein needs per meal is based on body weight, muscle mass, whether or not you are injured, and other factors.

[@JamesFischer_35]

120 grams of protein will be more than sufficient for most of beginners and intermediate level people. "Larger protein intake needed for more muscle growth" -- this is not very clear. For who? A pro? 130kg body builder? A steroid using guy? Or do you mean a 70 kg boy must take more than 120grams of protein in order to grow faster and better?

Could you make a video about exercising for example twice a day? Because I like to exercise in the morning after I woke up, like a short 10 min. workout to start the day. And normally I have football later the day, or after I finish work I do a more intensive workout at home. I don't know if that is good, but the professional football players exercise more than twice a day and much harder. I know I am not a professional, but I want to push myself as good as I can. I eat round about 1800 calories a day (male, 19, 177cm, 81 kg, but I was at 78kg before my holidays) and want to eat like 2200 calories on rest days or "reload days". I eat a lot of protein and carbs, but cut on my fats to get the deficit I want (50g of fat a day max.) That was a lot of information, but maybe you or the community can help me, because I would like to continue working out twice a day for 4-5 days a week. On one day I will have my football match and the others are for rest. I don't want to overtrain. I am looking forward to here from you guys.

I think it started as saying "you can't absorb more than 30g of WHEY protein at once". Who decided that this counts for all protein is beyond me. I do believe that claims of 30g whey protein max is correct. Also, note that that's an average. A girl who weighs 50kg and a guy who weighs 120kg will have considerably different maximums. Thus the correct scientific metric would be gram per kg muscle mass.
