Does Protein Powder Work? (Spoiler: YES, but there's a catch)

Күн бұрын

Protein powders (aka protein shakes) are commonly believed to help build muscle. A recent review published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine looked at whether protein supplementation led to improvement in muscle mass and strength.
Researchers found that protein supplementation did have a positive effect on strength, muscle size and fat-free mass (aka lean body mass). Improvement in strength was measured using 1-rep max strength. The group that received protein supplementation had an additional benefit of 9% (2.49kg) in their 1 Rep Max when compared to those who didn't consume a protein supplement. Also, the protein group had a 1.4kg gain in fat free mass compared to the control group which had a 1.1kg increase.
For professional athletes, every bit of strength counts. This study recommends an upper limit of 2.2g/kg/day of protein intake for serious athletes. But for the rest of us, protein shakes do help a bit, but not as much as getting to the gym and actually doing the work.

Average protein intake in the general population:
Many people in high income countries easily exceed the RDA of protein intake without even trying. In the following study from the US, Figure 1C and Table 1 show that the average American adult is consuming somewhere between 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal body weight, with some variation depending on age group and gender: academic.oup.com/ajcn/article...

A lot of people are confusing what he is saying as INCREASING your 1 REP MAX by 9% if you take protein, but that is NOT WHAT IS BEING SAID. The study is showing an additional 9% IMPROVEMENT ON GAINS. Some math: 1 Rep Max - 100kg Gain 1 Rep Max without protein supplementation- 10kg Gain 1 Rep Max without protein supplementation (Percent) -10% New 1 Rep Max without protein supplementation - 110kg The additional 9% is ON THE GAIN: Theoretical Gain with protein supplementation - (9% of 10kg + 10kg) = 10.9kg Theoretical Gain 1 Rep Max with protein supplementation (Percent) - 10.9% Theoretical New 1 Rep Max with protein supplementation - 110.9kg In this case, protein supplementation would be expected to cause ONLY a 0.9% INCREASE IN 1 REP MAX.

You need to always been in a 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗹𝘂𝘀 just as the same with calories and carbs. If you just consume what you need for maintenance you will not gain and grow more lean muscle than you have but will just stay the same. Also what, you really want are amino acids. They are the building blocks of all cell proteins. And 5 or more amino acids are considered a protein. But that's not a complete protein. There are plenty of essential and non essential amino acids that we need and can gain all sorts o f benefits from. Much better than just protein which only have a few of the amino acids.

@@herbbowler2461 amino acids are protein they're the building blocks of. What I'm saying is proteins you eat usually aren't complete protein in the sense they are missing most of the other amino acids. You want all of them so your body can use them for every different type of protein your different cells need. Plant protein has much more raw amino acids cause its the first source of protein when animal protein is recycled protein that the animals ate from plants. Problem is we cannot eat enough food in mass and different variety of foods on a daily basis to get enough nutrition. Maybe for an average range yea but when you're trying to always be in surplus or get all of the nutrients that are hard to find in foods you need supplementation. This is why even bodybuilders that eat nutrient dense foods every two hours still need supplementation. We cannot fit that much mass and variety of foods into our diets every day never mind afford it too. Cause it's hard keeping that many foods and herbs, plants, seeds, oils & veggies fresh. I've been bodybuilding for 13+ years as well as studying athletic sciences, kinesiology, general health, biochemistry. Also was a national athlete (rugby) and had professional nutrition coaching

@MrTacolover42 4 жыл бұрын

Heres the problem: 1. That 9% increase is in new trainees. In other words it can make a good difference in the beginning but its not like if you take a protein shake its gonna make you just blast through your genetic potential. 9% of half a pound of muscle is not alot (and its very typical to see very slow to no progress in gym after 3-5 years training). Im not sure theres a study that has gone into trained individuals and how much it helps with MPS. But we can assume (We dont know) its still better to have more, and it certainly doesnt hurt anything. 2. A protein shake probably doesnt make a whole lot of difference when compared to a chicken breast or a lean beef. When you account for total daily protein intake it doesnt help nearly as much. Protein does seem to be a good bit cheaper per gram of protein then meat at times however. And theres the convenience. For me i eat about 200 grams of protein per day. If i switched the protein shake for a chicken breast i would see no difference in muscle gained, because total protein is the same.

Its a gain percentage, not a weight percentage. If your 1 rep max is 100 kilos and your gain is 10 kilos (110kilo rep max) your protein percentage in the gain would be the 9% of 10 kilos, not 100 kilos. That would become 900 grams (9% of 10 kilos). So if you are naturally gaining a 10% in you rep max, what youre gaining from protein is 0.9% of that 100 kilos.

Over the course of twelve years (52 weeks times 3 sessions/week = 156 sessions yearly) while you are fit and healthy enough to cope with hard training => roughly one year saved that you can invest e.g. in stretching/flexing or just more cardio => significantly more rounded training overall than just pure strength training (which in itself is idiotic btw).

It absorbs a bit faster and better. Your body only uptakes amino acids, not whole proteins (for obvious reasons). It takes time to break the proteins down and it's not 100%. Is it a huge difference? Depends. If you're a competitive athlete it might be worth it. If not, it kind of depends on opportunity cost.

Great video! Idk if you have already covered this (I'm going to search for it later when I have free time again..) but the thing I'm curious is whether or not calorie deficit affects to your gains IF you get enough protein? In my case for example I get 1.5-2.2 times my body weight of protein each day, but I'm on roughly 400-700kcal calorie deficit. (don't know my maintenance calories so don't know exactly) I also don't know how to add more calories "the wise way" since I feel totally fine with this diet and don't feel hungry or low in energy, almost the opposite. Would I get significantly better, slightly better or exactly the same results if I increased my calories to match my maintenance level?

@sarfaraz.hosseini Жыл бұрын

The question is whether your lower calorie intake is causing you to perform fewer reps than you otherwise would, thus hindering your gains. You can take a meal supplement shake like "Huel" which has a lot of protein, but also all the other vital nutrients and plenty of calories, or a _lean_ mass gainer shake which has around 700 calories.

As my supplement had 80% protein, I don't know if that is really true or what the other 20% contained. Anyway, it was easier to remove items that we are not sure about the ingredients. I've replaced that with almond, walnut, pistachio, hazel nut mixture combined with dietary protein. Gains are not spectacular, but keeps me in shape.

Keep in mind that the 9% presented in this video was for 1 rep strength. The article actually shows 27% increase in fat free mass (muscle mass) compared to the groups who didn't receive extra protein.

It's 9% of the GAIN so if you benched 100 kg and without additional protein you got to 110 kg, with it you would've got to 110,9 kg.

I would love to hear more about the appetite suppressant effects as well as protein supplementation in the larger context of nutrition. I had always heard that it’s useful when cutting, because you’re trying to minimize caloric intake while losing as little muscle as possible. So by using protein shakes, we can eat less calories while still maintaining our protein intake. That said, this is all stuff I’ve heard from trainers/gym guys. I’d love to get a more data driven look at how it actually works.

@grythm Жыл бұрын

IMO, only potential problem with that is satiety - protein shakes are generally very low in terms of satiety-per-calorie compared to actually eating the same amount of protein.

I don't eat a whole cow, but the point is that if I'm very hungry, the appetite suppresant effect does jack shit and only works for a short while.

The study found that 1.6g of protein per KG is the optimal amount, but the control group is already taking in 1.4g per KG so that doesn't leave much room for us to see the effects of additional protein intake. 1.6g is only 15% more than the control groups 1.4g intake, that gave a 9% performance improvement, which makes sense. But it would be far more interesting if the control group were only taking in the recommended daily amount of 0.8g per KG, with another group taking in 1.2g and the final group doing 1.6g. I'd be very interested to see what effect that has. I never took protein very seriously when doing weights. I just assumed I had enough. Since I very recently started trying to take in 2g per KG, I realised I was barely taking in 0.8g per KG before. Would be interesting to see how much I've held myself back despite the obvious gains.

These groups are all different genetically, so the results can not prove accurately. Some people can gain muscle growth and strength faster than others.

People aren’t understanding the question and study correctly. The study shown in this video shows a group of people that HAD already been getting enough protein from their regular diet. The study was done to show if there were any ADDITIONAL benefits from protein powder. The results? Yes about a 9% increase in strength, but there is a cap at which too much protein does not equal more gains. ( if you’re already getting enough protein, I wouldn’t turn to protein powder for extra strength, I would recommend creatine ) However, most people watching the video were probably wondering if protein powder worked as a supplement to protein. In that case YES, obviously. If you have a hard time reaching your protein goals from your regular diet, protein powder does work in supplementing your missing macros. It’s protein after all, your body doesn’t care where you get it from. Although, make sure you are still getting in a good chunk from whole foods, as they have other nutrients your body needs.

When I first started going to the gym when I was 15, I was told 5 simple rules for success 1: carb-load pre workout as a short term energy hit to aide in your workout performance 2: have 5 balanced meals a day that have a max of 20g of protein, if one or 2 of those is a protein shake, don't waste your time having 2 other "meals". 3: Keep your workouts balanced, if you are focusing on one muscle group, don't forget the opposite, I.e, chest and back, tris & biceps. 4: Stay consistent, but never stagnate. Once you plateau in an exercise, mix it up, super sets etc, but never give up because you aren't making progress. If you get injured, give yourself a break & focus on a different area, just don't stop, altogether. 5: Never Forget To Rest!!! Bust a gut in the gym, but give your muscles the chance to use the protein you load them up with, to rebuild. Constant work will get you no where. Everything in little steps. 6: (bonus) don't beat yourself up if you don't see yourself making as much "progress" as the next guy. Work your program to your goals, they probably want to look bigger without the strength, or want more definition without the size, or they want aesthetics over function. You just be/build you! (Edit: everybody size & shape is different, so eat according to your caloric intake to maintain your weight)

It does seem implied that the recommended 0.8 is lower than what the plateaued level of 1.6g/kg/day and so increasing to the 1.6 would be the more general approach.

One reason why I would recommend protein shakes for people that only train casually is the convenience. You do not need to keep as strict a diet to make sure to hit your protein needs every day and there are always going to be times where you will not be able to eat 30~60 minutes after a workout where protein intake is going to be best processed by your body. A professional athlete would prioritize their workout and diet over any other plans but as a casual you will not and you can get closer to professional results by using protein supplements to fill in some gaps. Of course nothing will ever make up for not doing the workout.

A major flaw in this study that no-one seems to have picked up on is that hardly anyone has 1.4g/kg/day of protein outside controlled environments. If I could get that much protein in my diet everyday through normal food then I wouldn't take whey. I take whey because through my diet I probably only get 0.5-0.6g/kg/day of protein but via shakes I can get this to nearer 0.8-1.0g/kg/day which helps me make gains. Making a comparison between a groups whose baseline dietary protein intake was more 'normal' would be a much better gauge of protein supplement efficacy.
