Sorry to intrude but would you be so kind as to make a podcast for people who would like to increase their weight a bit. I know most people want to lose weight but there are some whose metabolism is such that we tend to lose weight rather than gain it. I would love to put on one or two kilos. I feel fine as I am (50 k) but I would look nicer with a bit more meat on my bones. =) Thanks! I learn a lot from your talks.
I need a little help. I got confused on how to figure out the protein. I I think got the kg (120/2.5= 48 kilograms) then I got lost. I have some muscles and I want to build more some think I’m supposed to do something with 1.4. Can you help, please? Ty
Well I had a green smoothie for breakfast and then a pretty large salad around 11:30, went to a friend's wedding at 2:00 and they had cake and cookies and punch and now I hate myself not really but I am kind of disappointed in myself, at 7:00 p.m. now and I'm drinking the rest of my other smoothie
Dr. Marbas, Such helpful information. I notice that when I increase my protein to the limits you suggest, my fat is going up to 20-25 %. Do you think this is Ok? I am a senior and looking to increase protein to 1.1 gm per kg. I am also looking to lose weight.
Hi, this really depends. If you are a bodybuilder who is lean and is heavier due to muscle mass and you have a lower body fat percentage BMI is not a good indicator for you but rather a body fat percentage would be.
You sound like a therapist😇 thank you for being so genuine and kind🙏🙏

No one is immune from self-sabotage, so we all need to learn how to recognise when it's happening, and have a plan to correct it!
Yes, recognize, give space and then make a mindful decision.

Sorry, it is easier with writing it down for sure. 120/2.2=54.5 kg
54.5 kg and then multiply that by the 1.4 which is 76 grams protein daily.

Yes I think that is fine. See how you do for a period of a week or two and then adjust.
My BMI is 31 at 225 lb so I will have to bring that down 7

@@DrLaurieMarbas not a bodybuilder, 55 years old just an average Joe trying to get some fat off LOL
Oh my🤦♀️ If Im 212.2 lbs, I need 135 grams of protein a day. Is this right🤔?
What is your ideal body weight? That is the protein goal.
