I just got back into hockey in my mid 40s. I lost 40 pounds on the Keto diet a few months ago and now on mixed metabolism eating. I'll have good carbs before hockey and go keto post hockey game/workout, so meats and some veggies. I found my recovery to be 4x better than it I had a pasta dinner after hockey. I then use the Lumen breath analyzer to give me an idea of what I'm burning and when to switch to carbs. So far it's been working great. My muscle is increasing and fat is dropping.
I remember you doing a video on this 2-3 years ago and watching it and not being able to find it again. Thanks for posting an updated version!! Great video!!!
Not exact for your weight as they are simply templates. They are designed to act as templates so you can make small changes to them only as needed based on your exact size/goals.
Hey, I’ve got a question about the protein. You said that it could go from either 1x if you are gaining muscle, all the way up to 1.5x if you’re dropping fat. What it the reason for this. Why does it go down for example when gaining muscle mass? Thanks, Daniel!
Hey Daniel, This is a very big question. To try and make it simple, consuming more than 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight will not net your more muscle mass gain, that is the "cut off point". It's also preferable to eat a lower amount of protein on a bulking diet as protein is very filling, thus, having less protein will allow you to comfortably eat more calories without bloating/discomfort. Conversely, higher protein intake diets for fat loss are preferable for two big reasons: 1. More protein in a caloric deficit gives you a greater chance of retaining your lean mass as you burn body fat. 2. Lots of protein for feelings of fullness is great on a fat loss diet because it will help keep you feel satiated even though you're not eating much. Hope this helps!
I love this. Great video and information on nutrition. I just picked up hockey again after 25 years off the ice. Needed something to get back in shape. So, I have a question- What if a person is a bit on the flabby side. I’m 210-212#, 5’ 11”. When I was training really hard doing CrossFit, with nutrition sorted, I hovered around 180#. So I don’t necessarily want to recompose 210#. What would be the recommendation to drop weight and recompose? Thanks!
