@@marco7838 The 1 gram per pound of body weight is supposed to be 1 gram per pound of lean body weight. Very few people have single digit body fat percentages. It should be .7 to 2 grams per kilogram of weight with 1.5 being the optimum for building muscle. There isn't much evidence that massive protein intake past that makes any difference.

@@marco7838 It depends on goals. I never use pounds just because I've used metric all my life. I think 1.2g/kg of body weight per day, split over 3 meals is a good baseline level for people who want to look after their muscle mass as they get older. There is definitely a case to be made for more protein (up to 2.4g/kg) if people really want to try and maximise muscle growth

Very insightful and easy to follow. Thank you! I’m small and I didn’t want to go for protein shakes. I do track the macros of my food, though, so this is very useful.
Same here. Being smaller makes it fairly easy to hit protein goals without shakes since we don’t need a crazy high amount of protein! I prefer to get as much as I can from just food and use shakes for days that I’m really struggling.
I worked out for years thinking I was a hard gainer, but the reallity is I just had a bad. I then tried the Agoge diet, and started seeing much faster and better results.
Goes to show that the average person doesnt need a protein supplement. Eat the right amount of Fats/carbs and meats the protein usually comes way above the necessary intake. My fitness pal taught me this real quick.
Great explination. A lot of videos simply say .8 to 1 gram. They don't factor in BMI. 1 weigh 140lb. There is no way I can choke down 140 grams of protein.
4:08 My pilates/barre instructor may have finally gotten me to take my fitness & health seriously. But even she can't stop me from giggling at the use of the phrase refractory period for muscle growth. I'm a man damn it! DON'T YOU DARE EXPLAIN THAT TERM TO ME! I've known what those were since I was a teenager! 😂❤ Excellent video! Thanks for all your informative, straightforward and overall helpful videos. 👍
Sage advice. In this seven minute video you get thoughtful - and easily understood - advice about how much protein, and how often. Not sure most bodybuilders and athletes will need MORE information than this. Well done!
I weigh 100kg and am training hard to build better body (muscular), so you're saying I need around 240g of protein a day, every day. As lean chicken breast has about 25% protein, I need for example to eat roughly 1kg of cooked lean chicken breast every day in 6 meals, right?
So many other sites and videos tell you to take way more protein than you really need. Consuming too much protein can cause fat gain and kidney damage, irritability, and nausea.
What if you are intermittent fasting? Is it good enough to get the proper amount of protein per day in one or two meals? And this is if you are not trying to be a bodybuilder but simply get lean and build muscle.
I learned from another video that research shows, if you have solid 3-4 meals spaced out with protein, that it’s only slightly better muscle growth than 2 high protein meals a day. Just don’t go down to one meal/ day. I also do IF so imma keep doing it to keep all the benefits of IF 👍
So I'm 69kg and 177cm tall and that makes my lean weight 10kg heavier than I actually am, so do I have a protein intake based on my actual mass or my lean mass?
Omg I’ve been consuming about 170-180 grams of protein this past week and I only weight 64kg 😅. I told my friend this morning my protein intake and he was like “bro that’s way too much protein, that’s bad” and here I am watching this video.
Doesn't matter how much protein you take for day. If you want to take massel, you need to: 1-work hard (one hour for day) 2- eat 4/5 times for day (vegetable more) 3- sleep 8 hours. If you do this three simple things, you can take around 2/3 kg for month. ✌
Hey i need a help. My protein powder drum says to take 3 scoops a day(1 serving) but everyone in my gym takes 1 scoops what should i do? Im confused im mew haha. The company is enervit
I've never been the type to go with the minimum requirements for anything I do. I always keep my protein intake on the higher side... even more so if I'm in a calorie deficit.
I normally hear that you mist consume 1g of protein per pound of body weight but others also say 1g of protein per kg of body weight which seems more realistic and attainable. So idk which is correct… per pound or kg??
hi sir... Thank you for the very good explanation. But I have a small question, is the number 25 a standard formula? And where does that number come from?
Hi thanks so much this has made it very clear for what I need to have and what to do as I'm starting out and I'm quite a stick but with the work I do there is a lot of lifting and running around and pushing heavy objects around and after 6 months of working there can start to see a bit of gain 😅so wanted to maximise the gains with having protein shakes or bars at work and on my days off to work out now just got to know what the differentness between the protein shakes are and the bars too
If you want the best results with minimal side effects take protein the normal way. Food is your best bet. Protein shakes and bars are there only if you cant consume what you need.
main problem is the diet component. Everything from constipation, to dyspepsia, to GERD hinders... There is a fine balance between feeding the body and over-doing it to the extent the system breaks and you need days to recover.
I've always been confused about how much protein to ingest. I'm starting to build muscle but still have a bit of body fat to lose, so the weight thing is hard to work out for me.....no one ever says body shape. I am in no way shape or form good at numbers. I try to use myfitnesspal to state my amount and just arrange it around that number. I usually go for a bit more than it states.
I normally hear that you mist consume 1g of protein per pound of body weight but others also say 1g of protein per kg of body weight which seems more realistic and attainable. So idk which is correct… per pound or kg??
Basically even if you're over 200lbs, then just make sure you're working hard and consume 200 grams of protein. There's absolutely no reason or point to consume more than that.
If I take 100 grams in the morning (4 scoop isopure) then another 100 grams at night. Would that work For the shake I use 1-2 cups of spinach ice almond milk and the protein
Hallo! 😄 I have watched 2 of your videos about MPS and you have mentioned, that when we eat more protein than necessary, it won't stimulate MPS (...any further?). I am not sure, how to understand this. For example, if i eat 30 g per meal, it will be stimulated, in the case i only need 30 g. But for example, if i eat 50 g, does it mean that it won't stimulate MPS any further, or does it mean, that it won't stimulate MPS at all, cause i ate more protein than necessary? Thank you for the professional videos! 😃
According to you I need 126 grams of protein per day to build muscle. I would say that is roughly what I am getting already. some days more some days less. typically its anywhere between 80-150 grams depending on the day. Good video thanks for the info
So what would need to change once we hit that healthy weight goal of 70kg? So for example lets say im currently 90kg and my height is 1.7m like your example ive been eating 112g of protien a day lost a load of weight and have now got to 70kg what would you change then? Thanks for the video 👌
What if you are on a calorie deficit and still wants to gain muscle by eating lots of protein. Is it possible to achieve weight loss at the same time, muscle gain? I'm actually working out 6 days in a week with a combination of cardio and weight lifting at home. I'm still overweight but doesn't want to lose weight much. I want to look big as much as possible. Can you help?
So im 95kg and 0.4 times that is 38 grams of protein per meal. Doesn't that mean alot of the protein i eat wouldn't be used for muscle growth? Should i just eat more meals?

I can't believe this single video helped me more than hours of looking in the internet

Richie, this video was fantastic to understand how much protein we should take if we want to build muscle! Thanks 🤩
This was the most research-based information on protein synthesis and recommendation. Absolutely loved this! :)
Well explained, helping people starting off get educated, education most needed, helpful video, thankss
I worked out for years thinking I was a hard gainer, but the reallity is I just had a bad. I then tried the Agoge diet, and started seeing much faster and better results.

The most important part to losing weight is diet of course, the hardest part is staying consistent
