That's a lot of pressure on kidneys. Be careful guys. If you aren't trying hard enough or long enough then you don't need that much. 7 grams per pound or 1. 5 per kg is enough for 95% of people training. I was a 200-250grams a day for like 7 years. Got a physical and found strain on my kidneys and unexplained fat collection in my groin and lower back. Was told that my body wasn't processing all the protein and kidneys were too backed up from the protein to piss it out so it was collecting and be stored on my body. I cut back protein to 1. 5 per kg and ate more carbs with the extra calories and I've lost size around those areas mentioned and my muscles have more pop and i recover much better.

I understand that less protein in each meal equals more muscle breakdown. But is that even if you’re getting enough in that day Also, what about the periods you aren’t eating Lol like for a few hours between meals just losing allllll kinds of gains or what I don’t understand this literature because I can still put on size even when I’m doing intermittent fasting. So you can get all that protein in a small eating window each day and still works out. But how

Dr Mike says that 1g of protein per body weight is solid advice. Actual research shows less than that is actually sufficient for bodybuilding based protein needs. It's closer to 0. 7 grams or 0. 8 grams per body weight. So for you to say that 1g/ per body weight isn't good advice is misinformation. Am I to believe an actual DR or you

I'm sure I remember hearing that the 25g of protein per meal study used WPC and as such subsequent studies have deduced that, in regards to a fast absorbing protein such as whey, the 25g ceiling is accurate. However, in regards to whole protein sources, such as chicken breast, the conclusions are more along the lines of have at it.

I know its a shirt but some of the info here is not well communicated. You start talking about some results of people with 24% body fat then immediately go in to talking about low body fat without giving a reference. Its said so quickly that of you missed the low word youd think your talking about the high fat people.

That's body shaming!
You're a baddie!
I like you.
However, saying 1 gram per pound sounds weird and confusing.
Saying 0, 5 grams per kilogram or 1 gram per 2 kilograms is much clearer (or even 0. 4 ounces per pound for those who don't want to adapt to the International System.

So did this study say 1. 3 g of protein per pound of lean body mass or total body mass that would make a difference based on your body fat percentage I’m 225 pounds but I’m sitting around 17% body fat so do I really need to be taken in 1. 3 g of protein Which would only be about 175 roughly lean mass

Im 68 and work out every day. I KNOW I don't get enough protein at 6' 190 lbs because only eat 2 meals with 18 hour fast between. Gotta make those tough choices when you get older. Probably should triple the protein intake and do TRT but maybe health > physique on the priorities these days.

I can’t wait for all the bodybuilders to find out about CGM(continuous glucose monitoring. If you only eat protein for a time, any protein that is not synthesized or excreted will show up as an increase in blood glucose and you will know your own protein synthesis capacity.

72 no grey hair on my balls as I manscape daily.
But interesting that I need 68% more protein.
Already had a ribeye steak, 8 eggs, 4 rashers of bacon.
And now going to have tuna for a snack.
Not sure if that's enough if not I might jerk.

As the two group compared is young and old so the major difference is testosterone.
So in order to keep healthier kidney and organs, the old man should take trt and reduce protine consumption to the healthy rate.

So 1g is good general advice except at the extremes like age, medical disorders, sedentary, and obesity. We usually just call that nuance. but I guess you got the clicks for generating misleading information

They've actually tested 100g in a single meal and we can utilize that much. The most recent study shows 1. 3g of protein per pound for max muscle gain per day. That's a pretty safe recommendation for everyone.

Grams per pound is probably the most american math ever. Just say grams per kilograms (Like the report. It's easier! No one else out there but americans has bathweights that shows pounds anyhow.
