    Dr.Attia inspired me to up my protein a few months ago, and the change has been incredible . I feel so much more energy throughout the day! I can feel the difference throughout my body and just generally feel better. It’s a life changing protocol. Thank you

    Heard from Thomas D, that you can take more protein per serving and it does synthesize but it just takes a longer period of time.

    I am 63 train 80/20 erg 100k meters per month plus 2 weights sessions per week. I am a pescatarian I work on 150gms per day which includes 2 ISO-XP shakes . Milk , oats , nuts , green veg fresh and tinned fish ( every other day) Greek yogurt and fruit . I am 6ft 2 and 95kgs . Vo2 44 . In the UK the NHS say I am over weight bordering obese . PS I can still bench press my body weight . My point is in this subject unless you consult experts you will be misadvised .

    I'm confused by this. If consuming more than 20g of protein doesn't result in a greater spike of muscle synthesis, and the spike lasts 5-6 hours, does this mean there's no benefit in consuming more than 60g of protein per day (assuming 8 hours of sleep, 16 hours awake)?

      That came out of a study. Then he eluded to the fact that it of course depends on the metabolic fitness and level of training. So more can be appropriate.

    • @stevemiler
      @stevemiler Місяць тому

      @wavesnowaves Still, 60g a day is a very long way off from the often repeated 1 gram per pound of body weight. I weigh 200 lbs, so I'm hearing I may as well cut my protein intake by 70%.

    Listen, consume a lot of protein when you are young with the goal of adding as much lean mass until the age of 40. Then at 40 star OMAD, KETO and decrease your protein consumption to 60 to 80 with OMAD. Add T at 100 a week on a three day split, which will help maximize protein synthesis. Train with weights 5 days a week, cardio 3 days a week, and hot yoga once a week. Pray twice a day and do a three day fast three times a year. Don't forget your h20 and have lots of passionate, meaningful love making. You're welcome.

    Isn't 20g assuming 100% bioavailability? You should probably just add more to compensate?

    What’s the recommended grams of protein per day per *lean* pound (or kg) of body mass? I would think 170lbs skinny fat vs 170lbs 15% body fat have different recommendations.

    Yikes... I thought you needed at least 2.5 g of leucine for muscle synthesis... you won't get anywhere near that with 20 g of protein. I'm so confused!!

    So, the quintessence is: eat protein, possibly about 20g per serving, but heavier people possibly more, don't know. Those 20g could be minimum or maximum, it depends. Numbers are different for whey instead of whole foods, but figure it out yourself.
    Oh come on, basically do whatever you like.

      @GrumpyOldTroll Місяць тому +3

      Didn't Don Layman say that, per sitting, 20 grams was the bare minimum while 50 grams was the ceiling beyond which further protein was not used for muscle synthesis? That said, I saw a study a few months ago which suggested that even 100 grams per sitting could be entirely used for muscle synthesis. I don't remember if there was decreasing marginal utility beyond a certain point, however.

    If I heard this right, they’re suggesting a protein shake is optimal bc of the rate of absorption compared to food. However, this is contradictory to what I always knew which was that if health and longevity is the goal, a shake is not desirable bc of a potential insulin spike and therefore the slower rate of absorption from whole food is preferred. Again. Relative to the long game.

      A pure protein shake, sans fruit does not spike insulin or glucose does it?
