A really good protein source I found is vegetable isolate protein. In my case, soy isolate protein is about 5x cheaper than most whey protein sources. I tend to use a 50/50 mix of both in a shake to make it cheaper (and also it helps with flavor since the whey I'm using is too sweet for me). Maybe it's worth looking into it.

[@Oblogonogo]

Thanks Jeff. I’ve struggled for a while trying to max out my protein and be as efficient as possible. I burnt out and realized what I was doing wasn’t sustainable for me. This video drops at a good time, encouraging me to practice workout /life balance

[@JCES1332]

I am 44, been watching your videos for about 2 years already... Couldn't agree more. Every person has to listen to the results certain muscle building tips/advice give you. In order to meet that diet and routines that help you meet your goals.

[@FitLabb]

One mistake I’d add is that fasted workouts don’t actually cause more bodyfat/weight loss. While it may cause a bit more fat than glycogen to be used as the energy source for the workout, you’re not actually burning more or less calories as a result, nor are you burning off any additional body fat. I’d actually argue that you’ll probably have less energy going into the workout when fasted, which can lead to a less intense & therefore less productive training session than if you properly fueled your workout beforehand. Edit: To clarify, I’m not saying you need a full meal shortly before working out. Even just eating a banana, granola bar, or a similar small healthy snack with some carbs does the job just fine 20-30 minutes before a workout. 💪

[@oficado58]

Different strokes, I'm the opposite in that I feel lethargic and tired after eating for up to 2-4 hours and my workouts suffer if I do them post meal. If I'm fasted I feel light as a feather.

[@ForTehNguyen]

same here, i tend to perform better in afternoon workouts after getting a couple meals in the day

[@deshovel5243]

I get lightheaded if I try to work out while fasting. Then again I fast without water cause Ramadan lol.

[@ljot1]

I feel great lifting fasted, but it did take some time getting past the lethargy and nauseousness early on. Running is a different story (if more than 8 miles). But I would agree that it has little to do with additional fat loss.

[@dami1219]

@@oficado58 Yep thats why early morning fasted workouts work best for me. Also gives me more energy throughout the day and helps to regulate my sleep cycle which is another plus

Bulking as a teen got me really big and strong. It was 15 years ago and didn't have as much info or helpful apps. Sure i got a bit fat but it was worth it. Being able to deadlift 250kg at 19 was instrumental in overall muscle. Plus if i hadn't experienced INSANE newbie gains i don't think i would have got hooked to exercise consistently like i did

[@matthewsantos422]

how long were you going before seeing noticeable gains?

[@kh-wg9bt]

Gains in strength and weight were immediate. Changes in body composition is hard to answer. Perception of body image is strange. I remember a point in my early 20s when I was truly impressed with my physique. So that's probably 5 years in and after losing a decent amount of fat. I would say muscle gains are slow and subtle perceptually especially if you're putting on fat. Then 8 weeks of losing fat can yield dramatic visual results

[@choreographthework]

I don't if it's worth the effort looking into, but it would be cool to know if health conditions such as celiacs, lactose intolerance, and or IBD affects absorption of protein. Current medical books says that's celiacs severity can manifest in adolescent age and even potentially inhibit growth. I wish I had the knowledge you been sharing before falling for health fads when I was younger. Keep up the good work with the research and your health goals!

So be careful what men tells u . Cuz women have diff metabolic rate , also men r mean to be 10-13% optimal fat . Women are mean to be 19-20% minimal fat (for child baring , collagen production , estrogen production ) estrogen stops producing when fat is too low ,,,, so women can NOT get pregnant (not safe to be pregnant for d kid 😮when too skinny ) if too skinny . Also when Estrogeon is Not producing …. (Collagen is mostly MADE by Estrogen) …. That’s why those models etc they always age fast!!! Collagen makes skin , internal soft tissues … evrything ! Critical to over all health 😮 Yeah so those men personal 😮trainer :”oh do this! Deficit , Cut ! Blah blah blah .” Will make WOMEN fatter ! Cuz it can triger ED ! N men personal trainers love that cuz women will need MORE advice from them ! Jeff n his fiancé r Very Science Basesd ! U do not ever do a Deficit ! If u do , have to be very very little n covert 😮. To the point that yr body feel like have had full meal . Either eat something bulky as Filler or eat boiled/microwaved Egg . Fill u up . 😅 I am out of ED for life . N 5’3 XS-XXS 113 lb. Just want to help ! So Be very very careful! Deficits can ruin ur Weeks of effort for short term goal. Makes sure eating full meal first . 😊 when Body Metabolism is NOT messed up 😮(deficit can triger that ) …. Body use d food we JUST eat as prime fuel !!! N burn that off first . When we often Deficit … it stores fuel First , n ask us to EAT more , that’s when we get so Hungry when tho we just Ate ! So if deficit ….

[@speedyboi4623]

So happy to see that it isn’t mandatory to meet your daily protein goal. I always thought if I wasn’t reaching my daily protein goal I was building almost no muscle as if I didn’t have enough. I guess it makes sense since protein is a building block and not a fuel source. I guess it’s like building a brick house with only 500 bricks a day instead of 1000 bricks. 500 bricks ain’t as fast but your still building the house just slower.

[@aakashbhat2018]

I would argue it's actually better to not be at the highest level in general, because of sustainability. Yes you might build the house faster, but the workers can burn out or injure themselves, or the house might have some mistake in it's building. Eating 180 grams of protein a day requires a constant effort which isn't sustainable for the average lifter.

[@Cenot4ph]

there's no such thing as a "fuel source", the body has numerous chemical processes where mass is used that gets converted into other mass and all of it is relevant in some way or another which include functioning muscles and creating new cells.

Im glad you've mentioned about the protein intake. I've had numerous arguments with people in recent years about how much protein you need to consume.

I've seen people saying you need between 1.5 and 2g per lb of bodyweight and that's just ridiculous. Half of that is literally being excreted .

My first 3-4 months of lifting, I gained 30 ish lbs. At the end of it my body fat was still around 15%, and it still looked pretty lean. I wouldn't do it again now as a more experienced lifter, but i think the large surplus helped squeeze every ounce out of the newbie gains

[@gkountilas]

how tf did u gain 13ish kilos in 4 months😂😂 been working out for 3 and only gained like maybe 2kilos(5ish pounds)?? I eat adequately, sleep well, work out with inyensity too. I think im like 11-12% body fat and only added muscle so far

[@exhaustfumeaddict]

@@gkountilasnot an expert but this guy is obviously a genetic anomaly, maybe if you’re still at 12% body fat you should consider a greater surplus

[@rustcohle9589]

You really should track your kcal intake. I always thought as a skinny one I could eat everything I want without getting fat. I tracked calories intake and added about +500 kcal a day. In 1 month I gained 4 kg's of fat/muscles, it actually scared me how fast I got a fat belly I could grab with my hands. I got slightly bigger chest and arms but kind of lost my lean abs 😢😅@@gkountilas

What's your opinion on cutting weight fast with fasting? I find it really easy to fast up to 48 hours and getting a big caloric deficit. Then eating a few days and doing the same thing again. That leads to big weight loss but is it bad for muscle preservation? I've read about increase in HGH while fasting which would help with the muscle loss.

[@lunarradius6521]

Nice video as usual Jeff. One thing I was wondering was if there are any similar studies to the Sundgot-Borgen paper that had an extra experimental group for training intensity or volume. It would be interesting to see if high muscle stimulus/large calorie surplus would have any changes in fat mass gained compared to the low muscle stimulus/large calorie surplus groups.

[@isaacbjorgan1829]

This video helped me a lot as I'm someone who naturally fasts a lot of the day and becomes hungry later in the day. I've realized the quality of meals has more to do with strength gain than the amount of meals

[@ChefBlairSilva]

Hey Jeffie boy ! Nice to see you again. Should we calculate our protein intake based on body mass or lean mass ? Does it make a difference?

[@xHuntedStormx]

1.6-2.2g/kg of total body mass. much easier than measuring lean muscle mass and then calculating protein intake from that, if that's what you mean?

[@filuo9058]

When calculating calories intake and macros, in a weight loss goal, should we calculate with our current weight or the weight we are aiming ?

[@korosenaiGames]

QUICK NOTE FOR ANYONE CUTTING: the whole g per body weight is correct, but you need to adjust the protien intake to your goal weight not your current, it would hurt but youll have to be changing you macros everyweek which is kinda effing annoying. Im 6'2 260lbs and all i did was START at 185g of protien and i didnt notice a single lift feeling heaveir than normal.

[@ethanstump]

one of the thing's I'd add, is how underrated high fiber is. from what i hear, the average person doesn't get nearly as much fiber in their diet as they should, so recommending people get a good amount of it is going to help some people.

[@loveableheathen7441]

I've heard fiber is useless. Can you tell what fiber actually does?

​@@loveableheathen7441 fiber fills you up do if you want to lose fat, it helps avoid overeating, you can check out jeremy ethier's diet videos where he compares high calorie foods and low calorie foods (which happened to be high in fibre) Also fibre is supposed to help you poop easier😂

[@Fitsuuu]

What I've learnt in the last 6 months atleast for me is that cardio allows me to gain the benefits of a calorie surplus without actually being in a surplus. I eat 3500 calories a day, which more than allows for all the nutritional requirments to build muscle, usually the excess would go on as fat. But now I also run 20km/week, so that excess gets burnt off allowing me to stay at a fairly stable BF % (around 13-14%). Since doing this my gains have remained more or less the same as they did when I would "bulk" (I never aggresively bulked mind you, I get very lethargic at higher body fat %s) and as a bonus I am also exponetionally fitter, closing in on a sub 20min 5k. Cardio has been the answer for me to balance out my need for additonal calories without wanting to gain body fat.

this is kind of off topic but i need to say it, cause i watch jeff and alex a lot.. Smaller framed guys are so lucky in the way that 180lb on a 5"7' frame looks jacked, 180 on a 6"1 frame looks so small. I would almost trade my extra height for making the same weight look better.

[@iOmar6677]

Funny thing is @1:40. The large surplus lead to some muscle gain and substantial fat gain, but the small surplus did not look like it lead to much muscle growth but still substantial fat gain. This tells me that cycles of bulking and cutting might be the way to go

Hi Jeff! Great video! thanks! one question.. Protein powder or Essential aminoacids?

[@aaronpaul1]

Juan, thought I might chime in here. The thing is you can get a lot of your essential amino acids from foods like, beef, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, soy, quinoa. Also, you are getting proteins from those foods. If I were going to suggest one supplement over the other I would suggest protein powder because of its quick absorption into the muscles post workout (whey) unlike foods which take a bit longer.

[@juanmdq]

@@aaronpaul1 wow! thanks for taking the time to answer! I really appreciate it! My point is that protein (i understand) that ends up being decomposed in amino.. so amino absortion is way better. Is this correct? thus my question...

[@aaronpaul1]

@@juanmdq Juan you bring up some good points and its my pleasure my friend. I am always here to answer questions. What are your fitness goals? I guess my point is if you don't need to take supps then don't. IF you are getting all of your macros through food then even better.

[@aaronpaul1]

@@juanmdq Your body needs 20 different kinds of amino acids to function correctly. These 20 amino acids combine in different ways to make proteins in your body. Protein powders made from milk-derived whey and casein, egg white or soy protein are sources of quality protein that contain all the essential amino acids. Their complete protein supports increased protein demands from athletic activities, and they can contribute to your total daily protein intake.

According to the thumbnail: don’t be 12

[@chaoschen9661]

Hey Jeff!! Quick question… in regards to training, is it more preferable to do strength (6-10 reps) or endurance (12+ reps)? I’ve read that fasting is very bad when it comes to muscle loss, so unless you’re for strength, it seems you’ll lose that. Would love your opinion/explanation for what the best training is as I’m currently on a calorie deficit and on the MF app

[@Edge9897]

I got you homie! Im not Jeff but I've similarly read a lot of studies and I work out a lot. Think of weight lifting as this, in general: 2-5~ reps - strength training (density of muscle tissue) 8-12~ reps - hypertrophy training (increase in muscle mass) 14+ reps - endurance training (tolerance to time under tension) So what method you choose depends on a lot of factors, but mainly assess what you're looking to do. In general, I've found that training strength with sets of 3-5 reps on compound lifts like bench, deadlift, squat, barbell row, OHP, etc is very efficient at building strength across many muscle groups. I've also found training around 10 reps for the same compound lifts is an efficient way to increase muscle mass across several muscle groups. I never do more than 15 reps as I find it wasteful. I don't want to fatigue out when I'm repping out the 20 lb dumbells. So the GZCLP program is great for this, you open with strength training on a heavy compound lift, then move to a hypertrophic compound lift. Then, you hit the high rep range for isolation exercises (bicep curls, skullcrushers, calf raises, leg curls, etc) to round out the pyramid. Cheers!

[@alexdubose9064]

In one jeff’s video he says there’s equal muscle gain as long as you’re going to failure in the rep count of 3-35 . 6-10 is what i’d personally recommend though

[@CLOUDKID11]

Mistakes: 1.Thinking you can force feed your way to muscle growth (surplus needed but only as much as you can grow) 2.Supplements are overrated 3.Super high protein diet doesn't make a difference (0.7-1g/lb for bulking and 0.8-1.2 for bulking) 4.Meal Frequency doesn't really matter (to grow 3-6 meals, fat loss 1-6 meals)

[@CarltonGauss]

my last bulk was at around a 300 daily surplus and it worked pretty well. I was wondering if going to 500-600 would have worked better, but it sounds like maybe not :(

[@carlopartyman462]

if ur maintenace is 3000, then 300 is a 10% increase, and 600 cal is a 20% increase. So, 600 cal would work but it would just be a more aggresive bulk than 10% which may result in more fat gain but also more muscle gain than a 10% caloric increase.

[@6thsense464]

I tried going from 100-200 calories surplus to 500-600 for three months and in 500-600calories I gained slightly more muscle but a lot more fat then before just like the study shows and I guarantee you its not worth it.

[@carlopartyman462]

@@6thsense464 I guess it depends on each persons metabolic rate and maybe you were not as strict with ur macros or whatever. But maybe try to go to 400? Maybe a middle ground between a slight and aggressive bulk would work?

[@DMRCapitalHill]

Nah man you can still do it, and have fun with food just make sure you know how to cut and always love yourself in the bulk state and your cut state. You might gain more fat but the overall strength gains will go up. When you cut go into a -500 deficit. Bulking is very subjective as far as a surplus is concerned. Have fun with food man. And most importantly KILL THOSE LIFTS IN THE GYM

Hi, I really enjoyed macro factor for the 2 months I used it. My problem was that 1. it didn’t really have any meals in the database itself and 2. I couldn’t adjust my goal over 0.3 kg per week, since the app limited it. Would love to see some changes here

[@TheJesster257]

What do you mean "it didn't really have any meals in the database itself"? The database is pretty great, and you can add custom items to your heart's content! Also, do you mean 0.3 kg gain per week? You can currently adjust the gain to 0.75 lbs/week which is 0.34 kg/week. I'm not sure why you would want to gain faster than that, but if you do, you can set up a custom nutrition plan and just eat more than the coached plan would suggest.

[@laurenzr.8524]

@@TheJesster257 Well i Would like to gain faster than that, because a - studys have shown that up to 0.5 kg per week can be beneficial. Im pretty sure Jeff has also mentioned it in a few of his videos and b - the reccomended calories for gaining 0.3 kg per week were wayyyy too low for me. i ended up loosing after 2 weeks on this schedule. And yes, i was tracking every las calorie down to the gramm, so please dont tell me i tracked wrong. The database had 0 meals saved. At least here in germany. So i ended up connecting it with my fitness pal, which has the meals i scanned saved and ended up tracking this was. Suboptimal to say the least
