@@xjumpmaster82 Nope. Latest studies show you only need 0.7 g of protein per pound of bodyweight... anything else shows no significant increase in hypertrophy. Here's the name of one of the studies per reference: A systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression of the effect of protein supplementation on resistance training-induced gains in muscle mass and strength in healthy adults
I would say anything less than 1g/lb would be considered low by anyone other than us nerds who dig the lit, which means almost everyone lol. I talked to a teenager who was struggling to gain weight and progress, he was eating more protien than me, and I weigh over 100 pounds more than he does, blew his mind. Got him to drop it and increase carbs, hunger up, weight up.
@@xjumpmaster82no it’s actually not low at all. .8 per kilogram is enough to cover 97% or the people on earth. You can easily get half of that protein and still grow as long as you have your other macros. There’s been a studies done that proves we eat way too much protien. Any of that excess protien turns Into carbs. I still love my protein don’t get men wrong. We just don’t need as much as they say I’ll link he video it’s very interesting and has great inmforma
I was an athlete before, sprinting, Martial Arts & semi professional Soccer. I don’t know any elite athletes that don’t consume carbs. Elite level athletes diet is high in carbs, otherwise you can’t preform at your best. People always trying to make carbs the evil one but thats where you get the best source of energy.
Once you are between .8 and 1g per pound you’re likely great. Once you have to start trading carbs for protein when in a decent deficit there are real tradeoffs for performance. An extra 50g carb vs extra 50g pro, especially intra workout is a huge benefit for high quality training.
It's always good to hear from Jeff Alberts.
Yes, it is! Thank you for tuning in 👊
That thumbnail is a bit misleading. He's not low protein, hes still getting 0.82 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight.
That is actually "Low". Maintenance is 1 Gram per bodyweight. High is 1.5 - 2 grams per bodyweight pound.
