I'm 75kg, oats in the morning with 24 g protein powder for taste. Two whole eggs for lunch and 2 chicken breasts for dinner all included with fruit and veg and carbs. With a post shake after workout or as dessert. Makes for 135g/protein per day.

Great stuff guys. These classroom style videos are dope and need to keep coming. It's a nice change of pace and adds a different variable to your channel. Keep up the good work!

I’ve always heard it was .8 grams per Kg, not lb for an average person and up to 1.2 grams per Kg for an athlete. 200lb male is roughly 91Kgs so 109 grams of protein. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I really needed this. I'm 32 and have been getting blood clots. there has been discussion between protein drinks and clots. I've been doing one to one ratio. I'm gonna change to .6 now, I'm now I can stick with regular food. thank u

Interesting video. As a middle aged dude just at the start of a training journey again I found it almost impossible to get anywhere near the 1:1 ratio. I had to rely on whey protein and my stomach was a mess after a couple of weeks. It felt like I was carrying a baby rhino in my belly. I would imagine that 15 years ago I could have easily crammed in 1:1 whether it was doing me any good/harm or not. 0.6/1 is way more manageable and my body instinctively doesn't really want to process much more.

I’m hooked on your podcast, I went all the way back to the first episode I could find and started to listen. Great content !!

At my highest I was hitting just over 200 at around 220-230 lbs. Now I aim for around 140 g at the same weight.

Very informative! I’ve always leaned towards 0.8 to 1.0 of grams of protein per pound of body weight but this was very helpful

Stuart Phillips, is telling us .8 per kg is recommended, but depending on other factors 1.6 per kg of body weight. Is optimal especially in thr elderly. What group of people are you referring to?

Thanks for sharing. I never bought into the whole 1g per lb myth but to people who do this is a breath of fresh air.

You guys are underrated , I hope your channel keeps building up. Merry Christmas!

Jay Cutler said that he has relied more on carbs than protein to hit his caloric intake goals over the years.

great to see a channel that does not cow tow to the supplement companies. Excellent videos with lots of professional advice. I especially like the way 2 or 3 guys interrelate with each other and put their own points of view forward within the conversations. very helpful.

Been watching you guys alot lately. Keep it up guys. Great info.

Nutrition science changes all the time… you guys still find this video accurate? Thanks, your videos have been super helpful.

There are also many elements to take into account: age, sex, activity, physical condition, sickens (diabetes, heart conditions, etc), Better to consult with a physician

Thx guys for clearing that up!! Love the channel!

Thank you For this video!!! I could not fathom how I was going to eat my body weight in grams of protein, I tried it and literally always felt to full to even workout to build muscle. According to your study and suggestions I was eating way way to much. Keep the good work up! Love watching y’all.

Great stuff. I want to like this over and over.

I have learned so much from you guys , seriously thank you 🙏🏾. This info was a huge relief.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO.

Someone beeing late hahaha. Justin enters inside at the end of the video like a boss. Good Information guys, really love this channel. Highly underrated your channel. Keep it up all of you 3 and Doug ofcourse and God bless you guys.

The 0.6 0.7 is that only for men or can it be used for women as wel?

Hay you guys , very helpful info all you’s provide but a few weeks back i asked a question, but got no response. Does this group still exists? The question I asked was on chest imbalance. Very great videos on techniques . Thanks

Do trace proteins in carbohydrate-based food like rice, pasta, bread, cereal, etc count towards daily protein target?

Thanks god found this video! You save my day!

one of the bigger problems with all this is that they will put out blanket statements like "Everyone should eat 1g per lb of bodyweight" (worse if its kg since thats 2g/lb) and just like everything in health and fitness its very individualistic. An obese person with high body fat (say 250 lb with 35%bf) should not be eating anywhere close to 1g/lb since that is just too damn high for them.

Thanks guys!

great video /well done .keep inspiring

Refreshing. Great channel.

The research tends to show about 1.6 g/kg (0.73/Illb) is where the sweetspot is, although they MAY be benefit to eating more in a caloric deficit, specifically for athletes. Personally I aim for 1.8 (0.82/Ilb) to be safe but don't panic if I'm below that. I simply cannot eat more without it feeling like a chore.

ending was perfect

People ask how much protein they should eat as if that number is dependent upon Muscle-Protein Synthesis alone, there are so many more benefits to eating protein than just building muscle, like TEF & increased satiety, for example...I follow the Ted Naiman school of thought and generally aim for 40%+ daily calories from protein.

What if you’re just a normal person, not a lean athlete?

great vidéo thanks

I am eating about 30 grams over my body weight in protein. And I've met with a dietician who told me that was prolly too much, but I feel if I cut the food I eat that gives me protein, I will miss out on the calories. I'm currently trying to eat about 1500 cal more than my recommended amount, but I wouldn't know what else to eat...

Im new to the channel, i love the content

2:37 who is that sneaky guy on the left??

I agree but I'd like yall to list the studies

Is there a correct calculation method of how much grams of protien or calories we need to build muscle

Guy on the right is only 20 pounds lighter than the guy on the left?

One thing I wish you touched on this and I'm sure you came across it was that our bodies get more efficient in "well trained athletes" and also how it wasn't necessarily the total g of protein, but more the essential amino acids. I think the numbers they normally use are 10 of EAA equates roughly 20-25g of whey. And that as long as they had the 10g of EAA they were at maximum muscle protein synthesis. Then they go into the whey vs casein vs soy, which soy just loses outright, and blah blah blah - but I was curious what your take on this was? It is kinda hard to find EAAs other than the standard BCAAs which in reality all I care about is the HMB from leucine (yeah yeah call me crazy) - but anyway. Love you guys and wanted to ask/throw that in there.

Thank you, so what would be the ideal macro for a 160lbs 44 age male wanting to build muscle and lose fat at same time? What is a good goal each month to build muscle2lbs/month and lose 2-3 lbs of fat? Is it doable? My body fat is around 15% what should be my muscular weigh goal. Thank you

Mate, you should pick another ‘thumbnail’ pic for this video 😉

Lol, Justin in the background.

I find this confusing when you are taking into consideration macro recommendations. If I take my calories during a cut to around 1760 and my macros are 40% carb 40% protein and 20% fat that equates to 176g carbs 176g protein and 39g fat. I’m only 130pounds. So am I way over eating protein? I don’t really find it hard to hit those macros. Even at maintenance of over 2000 cal 40c/30-35p/25-30f I have no issue hitting those levels with minimal protein drinks/bars. Are these macro recommendations incorrect?

Good video! Keep it up!

You are totally wrong i recommend view the videos of Dr Gabrielle Lyon and she said is more than 30 grs 3 times a day if is more for adult people is much better so do not give fslse info

Can you have a high protein diet and low calorie diet and still build muscle

Finally a smart fitness KZfaq channel.

Im having a really hard time eating enough to make my macros. Im so stuffed right now but i really need to suck down a protien shake or eat another chicken breast

Dude, .6 grams per pound. I’m 193 I have not been eating enough protein. So around 116 grams a day. Need to supplement

Its easy, just eat real food to satiety, meat, fish, and eggs. And don't be fooled, the fat that comes with real food is just as important for muscle building. Eliminate processed seed oils and limit processed carbs especially fructose to treats after the real food. Don't be surprised if you tend to eat more meat fish and eggs as you get older due to less efficient protein synthesis.

Great and brave!

So I'm currently eating 165g. Very active lean, 145lbs. If I lower my protein, do i add in more protein or more healthy fat??

What about in a deficit? Currently 1g per lb of body weight.

This is really interesting.

so 1g/lb is to much maybe ill do 0.8 i did 1 since its middle ground

I don't believe the amount of protein is correlated with cancer in some people, but instead the type of protein/fat ingested. If you eat real high amounts of protein from industry made sources (grains fed animals) it's probably going to give you some bad things, but if the source of the protein you're eating it's good (grass-fed animals) then there's nothing to worry about. Eat your protein, your other sources of good food, train smart, get some movement and keep your mind calm and there's nothing to worry about.

Great topic summary....anything beyond about 0.6 to 0.7g/Lb is absolute baloney...unrealistic and pathetic..high protein will eventually definitely be high risk

"Point 7" means 1.7 or 0.7? Thanks!

As you get older, you need more protein. Growth hormone starts to drop over the years.

Can you make a video about fat loss and mucsle buulding at the same time?

Sal looks huge sitting down. Standing up he looks shorter

The curse of Ben & Joe Weider lives on with ex pro bodybuilders still repeating the 200-300g/day bullshit

Ugh so glad!!! I was so constipated!!! 😂😂 too much protein

A small recommends .8g per kg of body weight not lbs or am I mistaken?

1:39 you said 400g, but it's 180g, because it's 1.5 to 2 per kg not per pound.

I was eating 520 grams of protein a day. I'll dial it down a bit.

Well what about people who aren't lean?

if you eat more protein you have less space for carbs. use protein to loose weight!

So I'm gettin 2 b safe to with .5 grams per body weight

u said .6/.7 for a slim athlete. would it be different for someone that was over weight?

What about fat?

Ive heard 2.2grams to 2.6grams per pound its insane

Can you confirm that it's per lb of "lean body mass" vs "body weight"?

Thanks for the 101 guys! If you need a personal body guard now that you’ve given away supplement industry secrets, shoot me a message and we can work something out 😂

I've never understood one particular thing... Is the .7 grams per pound of body weight for my current body weight (235) or the body weight I want to be (190)? And what's the explanation behind the answer as to why?

Lmao that one dislike. Everyone's got a hater

i just subbed

You're supposed to need a bit more as you age?

75g per 100 pounds, so a 200-pound athlete, what is that? Maybe 150g? Lol

why alogarithm brimg me to this?

1g of protein for each stone of weight is enough

I seriously doubt we need as much as 0.6 g/pound lean muscle weight. .

Sir you said for an obese guys this doesn't apply .. how much protein should an obese guy have? obese meaning 260 pounds

Mind Pimps

Someone get Justin off the arcade while you're making videos. :D

Not nearly as much as you think

5 1/2 minutes? Really? It's 1 gram per lb. Of bw. Tough stuff

Lol, just name a professional athlete consuming 150 grams of protein. Just one please. Everyone is above 200 grams a day (6 feet tall minimum). Everyone !

I wonder now if you know what you are doing and if this is all BS. in Episode 1992 you Sal said you like to tell people to eat 1g or more per pound of bodyweight if they are trying to make a difference in 30 days. In other podcasts Ive heard you tell people to eat 1g per lb of bodyweight, and Adam talked about how much protein he took when he was going through his transformation which was close to 1g. ive followed you now almost a year and catch some inconsistencies. wonder how legit you really are

.6 per lbs!!! Sure if guys wanna look like you 2. You 2 geniuses obviously never met a natural bodybuilder who doesn't look as "slim" as you guys.

4:43 We don't need protein powders? That's music to my ears. More money in my pockets. Thanks.

❤❤

When is Sal starting the political channel? Team Adam!!!!!!

There are half truths in this.. but the Messengers our little guys it's always the fat people or the guys that don't have muscle that are saying things like this insane...

15 years of training clients. Looks like he's been training for 2

Way too low

If u follow these guys advice u will never grow if u r training hard and trying to put on size u have to at minimum 1 gram of protein per pound of weight then u have to increase yur protein in order to keep growing remember protein is the only micro nutrients that is designed to build and repair muscle 💪
