WRONG & MISLEADING. Q1 Where the excess of protein is going?! Exactly, is converted into FAT. So if you trying to lose cut your protein intake. Q2 What is happening with the recycled protein in the body?! Exactly, is reused to create new proteins, so more than 1g/kg of protein is an overkill. Q3 What is the No. 10 cause of death accounted for almost 75% of all deaths in the U.S.?! Exactly, kidney disease. Although high-protein diets continue to be popular for weight loss and type 2 diabetes, evidence suggests that worsening renal function may occur in individuals with-and perhaps without-impaired kidney function. High dietary protein intake can cause intraglomerular hypertension, which may result in kidney hyperfiltration, glomerular injury, and proteinuria. It is possible that long-term high protein intake may lead to de novo CKD. The quality of dietary protein may also play a role in kidney health. Compared with protein from plant sources, animal protein has been associated with an increased risk of ESKD in several observational studies, including the Singapore Chinese Health Study. Potential mediators of kidney damage from animal protein include dietary acid load, phosphate content, gut microbiome dysbiosis, and resultant inflammation. In light of such findings, adopting current dietary approaches that include a high proportion of protein for weight reduction or glycemic control should be considered with care in those at high risk for kidney disease. Given the possibility of residual confounding within some observational studies and the conflicting evidence from previous trials, long-term studies including those with large sample sizes are warranted to better ascertain the effects of high protein intake on kidney health.

@@silviupadure2555 It is true that excess calories, whether from protein, carbohydrates, or fats, can contribute to weight gain, including fat accumulation. However, the statement that excess protein is directly converted into fat oversimplifies the process. Protein is not efficiently converted into fat in the body. Instead, excess protein can be metabolized for energy or stored as fat, but the process is less efficient compared to the conversion of carbohydrates and fats into fat. Whether reducing protein intake is necessary for weight loss depends on the individual's overall caloric intake and energy expenditure. The statement that more than 1g/kg of protein is an overkill is a generalization. Protein needs vary depending on factors such as activity level, muscle mass, and overall health status. While the body does recycle protein for various metabolic processes, individuals engaged in regular physical activity, particularly strength training, may have higher protein requirements to support muscle repair and growth. The recommended protein intake ranges provided by health authorities consider these factors. There is evidence to suggest that high protein intake may have implications for kidney health, particularly in individuals with existing kidney disease or compromised kidney function. High dietary protein intake can increase the workload on the kidneys and may lead to issues such as intraglomerular hypertension, glomerular injury, and proteinuria. However, it's important to note that the relationship between high protein intake and kidney health is complex and may depend on various factors, including the source and quality of protein, overall diet, and individual health status. Not all individuals will experience adverse effects on kidney function from high protein intake, but those with pre-existing kidney conditions should monitor their protein intake and consult with a healthcare professional if necessary.

:3 Just out 11 hours ago. We had taken a poll for the the next topic, and most of us chose protein. Hehe. Also, best gains for vegans with 30% more absorption of BCAAs from vegan/plant-based protein, vegan creatine is the most popular and vegans get the most enhancement from it than anyone else, several weightlifting records for any group have been broken by fellow vegans/plant-based people, many of the very best runners are vegan/plant-based, long-term swimming record broken by a vegan, Formula One champion is vegan, the tennis twins are mostly plant-based (they go plant-based on their best games, and whatever else), many of the best NBA players going vegan/plant-based, etc.

Summary of 15 mins talk in ~3 sentences: -Bodybuilding: 2 to 2.5gr of protein per kilo of body weight per day are the optimal and safe ratios, above that it can build toxicity for no significant extra gains. Can decrease to 1.8 gr for maintenance. -Other active ppl/athletes: 1.2 - 1.4 gr/body kilo/day for mid distance runs/consistent gym going. -Ultra endurance athletes: can go up to 2gr/bkilo/day cuz they breakdown lots of protein to sustain their energy supplies.

I have the dunford and doyle text being used as reference for the video and agree mostly with the values and ranges given even in the context of having more recently published data available. One area that I think is important to emphasize is that at and above approximately 1.6g/kg the source of one's protein (i.e., animal or plant) does not appear to matter any more as there are a sufficient amount of the 9 indispensable amino acids present to maximize protein synthesis. Additionally, its worth noting that older adults are very likely to need more protein whether sedentary or active, as anabolic resistance is a noted occurrence with older age. Its been proposed across the past decade that older adults should aim for 1.2g/kg to help preserve muscle mass and strength and up to the 1.6g/kg value is again likely to support maximal or at least very near maximal protein synthesis.

Dear Johnathon and co, if you get to read this - please consider mentioning (maybe in a future upload) how much protein can be synthesized by the muscle after working out. According to Dr Donald Layman the max that can be synthesized at any one given time is topped at 50g. The next best refeed for muscle synthesis when eating protein is some what ambiguous (so he says) but many sway on the side of caution and eat 4 if not up to 6 meals containing protein. Dr DL also mentions that the 1st and last meal should be the focus on protein intake, i.e. 50g max. Other meals can be less protein orientated, Caveat - he did say that HIS priority was not on bulking up, Mike Menzter said - if you are bulking up - the focus should be, carbs @ 60%.... protein @ 25% and fats @15% **** As always - very informative.

At a guess, I would say for physically active jobs it would fall somewhere in the ultra-endurance athlete range, but it really depends on the activity. If you're exhausted every day, I'd be willing to bet it should be towards the higher end, but if you've gained the strength where it's just what you're used to doing and you're not building *more* muscle constantly, then towards the lower end.

Completely anecdotal but I’m a cement mason by trade (horizontal concrete work so very physically demanding) AND I work out 3-6 days a week (just depends on work but I aim for 6 but most of the time only end up doing 3). My workouts were CrossFit but I have recently (for the last 8 months or so) went to bodybuilding hypertrophy style lifting because I wanted to get more size and strength back that I had before CrossFit (for the average non-competition person, CrossFit classes are just too randomized and not periodized for growth if you come from a traditional lifting base). Aaaaaaaanyways… I’m currently 5’11” and 190LBs with a six pack. I usually bulk in the winter but my top 4 abs are always visible and if I really feel like dialing in an 8 pack in the summer. My protein take is around 225G daily. So that’s right around the 1.2. I’m gaining size and strength at a rate I am very happy with. Could I grow more with more protein? Possibly? Could I grow as much with less protein? Definitely possible… This just seems like the sweet spot and really reflects my over all protein intake for a long time. My meals are timed so I never feel overly hungry just waiting on a meal. I drink A LOT of water. It’s just right for me.

For more physical jobs, protein obviously helps because the job provides the muscle stimulus. But more likely you're gonna be concerned about carb intake because you need to continuously replenish your energy sources.

As always, awesome video. It was a great Human Nutrition class review. Funny story, back in the service I would lift weights anywhere from 1-2 hours a day and on days off (not working) I’d go for a 16 mile trail run or a 10 mile 25-35lbs ruck run. I always noticed if I left my cloths sitting a day or two later they smell of urea. My body was burning protein an excreting it via sweat

Great video; subscribed! Thanks for working in SI units I'm in the ultra endurance range and had no idea I had to consume so much protein.

Your videos are amazing. Super informative. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for this consistent explanation! This is very true. Nitrogen balance is the best way to explain how much protein we need. But going one step deeper, taking enough protein, we have to keep in focus essential amino acids we can’t synthesize. Just for better understanding the difference between protein sources.

I agree! Some protein sources have a much better amino acid profile... all too often, I think people just look at the grams of protein. Beans for example... 10 grams of protein wouldn't have the same combination of essential amino acids, that 10 grams of protein in eggs, meat, fish, etc.

Amazing to watch this!. I remember in 2020 I increased my protein intake from 2g per kg up to 3g per kg. My body reacted within like 2 months with bad acne all on my face, and I only realized the reason for the acne after 4 months. Took me more than 6 months to recover from the bad acne that I had on my face. New bodybuilder be careful 🙏😁.

It's not the protein. If you're getting acne, inflammation-related or auto-immune issues, temporarily switching to carnivore helps because it acts as an excellent 'safe' elimination diet that lets you identify what's causing the problem as you carefully re-introduce risky foods to see what causes the reaction. And I'm sure you know that meat contains plenty of protein. So you did something wrong; perhaps you got your protein from non-meat sources that contributed to your acne. (Example: some people get reactions from plant-based foods or excessive amounts of whey protein shakes. Ignore the body-building food supplement hype and don't OD that stuff. And it goes away when they eat normal food like lots of steak and eggs (which contains plenty of protein) and low to moderate amounts of shakes. )

protein needs increase at that age due to anabolic resistance, so basically you need more protein and luecine to get the same anabolic muscle building/maintenance response as when you were say 25, look up Gabrielle Lyon she's an expert in protein needs and ageing, if 20 grams of animal protein was enough in one meal to flip the mtor switch which is the muscle building process then at 60 plus you'd probably be better off with 40 grams per meal

Awesome. Would love a part 2 that addresses how much protein we should intake at one time and other related factors. E.G., I’ve always heard ingesting protein (how much of the rec. daily amt?) within 30 min after a workout is best because your body can process more at that time, but now I see commercials for amino acid makers that say you need to ingest protein (or rather the broken down amino acids) BEFORE a workout so they’re available to repair workout-damaged cells right after the workout. Don’t know who to believe…

Really finding it tough to get enough protein as a vegan new to working out (and who doesn’t like sweet stuff like protein shakes/bars) and this info is nice to have. I hear a lot of 1g/pound of body weight, and at 145lbs, that was tough. But if I look at it more as .75/lb or 1.6/kg then that’s a much more manageable ~100g of protein a day. My problem is trying to be in a calorie deficit while also getting enough protein, but now that I’m 5-10 lbs away from my target weight, I’m more looking for getting stronger instead of smaller. It would be nice to be 5’10 135 like I was pre baby, but I’m ok with 5’10 145 if that means I am strong enough to toss my toddler in the air.

As we get older we typically need more protein and generally have lower calorie needs (this can change depending on health status and issues) and around age 65 to 70 the needs are around 1.2-2grams if protein per kg of body weight. So it depends on illness/health status, presence of disease, and activity level/type of activity but the general range is 1.2 to 2 grams.

Thanks so much for covering this topic 🙏

I think it’s safe to say that 1g-2g of protein per pound of muscle mass/lean body weight is more ideal than per pound of body weight. I think per pound of body weight is way too much. If a person is 280lbs, your basically saying that this individual will need over 560grams of protein a day (at 1g per lb of body weight) to build muscle. This is wayyy too much. Just calculating calories per gram of protein, that’s 2,240 lbs of protein calories not including all the other excess calories you’d get from FAT and Carbohydrates which are 9 calories per gram of FAT and 4 Cal per gram of Carbohydrates. Even for a big eater, getting that many grams of protein would be crazy. I have managed to build extreme amounts of muscle and lose weight by only consuming a little over half of my body weight in terms of 1g/protein per lb of body weight. I suggest you go by 1g of protein per lb of lean muscle mass and if your really trying to build muscle, when you lift, progressive overload is the key. Don’t over bloat your body.

Love your videos, and this one is very timely as i recently started resistance training (to build muscle and lose fat) and I'm trying to increase my protein intake. Would love to know about different types of protein (animal vs. veg), as I'm mostly getting mine (~0.7g/lb) from lean turkey, chicken, salmon & eggs, but the (several) vegetarians in my life give me grief about how I'd be better off being vegetarian, citing many issues with animal protein. I just can't get the protein-to-carb ratio i want with veg protein, and AIUI animal proteins are easier absorbed (utilization).

@dsoul1305

What issues? There are zero problems with animal protein. It's THE source, the species main source since the caves. Vegetarians usually have misinterpretations of scientific papers. They rely on associative or epidemiological studies that only find correlations, but can't find causation. Ex.: In summer, more people drown and eat ice cream, but despite summer's correlation to these statistics, it's not the season who causes the drownings or the ice cream consumption. In cold climates this correlation couldn't even exist, because there is no real heat, or in a hot climate even, without the ice cream as a available food and the lack of big bodies of water. Would you regulate your ice cream consumption in summer based on the fear of increasing your risk of drowning? I'm guess no because you know there is no relation of cause between this data. Same with animal protein.

As a vegetarian, if they shame you for not being vegetarian instead of giving you solutions, then they're not nice people. I get a lot of my protein from lentils, cottage cheese, tofu, soybeans, etc. I think it's easier to achieve the protein intake as a meat eater because you don't have to eat the quantities that a vegetarian has to, especially if aiming for hypertrophy. If you do want to be mindful of what you eat, I would recommend picking ethical sources (grass fed, free range) than jumping straight into the vegetarian diet. You can experiment with Asian and Mediterranean diets as they have balanced things very well for some people that I know.

When I began training my backbend, breathing was not easy due to being locked into a position of contracted abs which I lacked mobility to maintain. Now, I am able to breathe a lot easier. After reading your comment, this all made sense, and I also tested if I was able to contract my abs and then breath deeply in and out and maintain spinal posture. I was able to do so with ease.

This video was very helpful for me. I've been an ovo-lacto vegetarian for over 26 years and describe my fitness level as intermediate (e.g., hiking 3-10 miles per week, walking at least 7,000 steps daily, and doing about 45 minutes of strength/flexibility workouts about 5 days per week). As a vegetarian, I've been through many recurring nutrient deficiencies over the years, including iron, B12, folic acid, and Vitamin D. Cardio exercises are very tiring and difficult for me, particularly when I have an undiagnosed nutrient deficiency. Even at this level of experience, it takes me a few months to realize my fatigue is a nutrient deficiency and not just stress from work. I recently learned that I have low protein. This video was helpful, because I was surviving on the myth that is the opposite of what you learned from body builders in college... The vegetarian community often claims that most people get more protein than they need from their diet. However, since incorporating at least one pea-protein shake a day and a protein (i.e. nuts, tofu, or beans) with every meal, I have been feeling a lot better. The nutritionist has me keep track of what I eat with an app, and I'm still struggling to incorporate the minimum amount of protein. The video helps to know that I probably won't OD if I have a second shake some days, particularly since I have an active lifestyle. Thank you.
