Vegan has never been a natural way of eating. Our Body’s are made to work most efficiently with variety of fruits/ vegetables, meats and good fats.
Fantastic video!
Maybe it's just me, and not to be rude, but I just found the video to be a lot of explaining when I just want to hear the points I'm looking for.
Thank you!
I’m vegetarian but I do shakes that are 30 g for my protein. And my meal. I do my best to buy the best protein shakes other protein I eat is eggs, cottage cheese, and Greek yogurt. I’m getting 120g a day. My ideal weight is 130-135
Stop waffling woman n get to the point
I’ve been averaging about 42 g of protein at a meal. Is that too high?
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love the way you explain the How- What- When and Why! Your awesome!
What should i eat for breakfast
WOW, this is so helpful! Am about to turn 53, very tall and thin with little muscle my whole life, don't like the flab 🙁 quit exercising about 4 years ago, picked up a tiny bit in March. YOU LOOK GREAT! Thank you!
I am intermittent fasting. Is that good.
I am 54 and going through menopause now. I am in training to Achieve an Ifbb card. 194 lbs to 177.5 . 🎉❤. It's going well. Thank you for your guidance.
Post menopause. 41. I have been having a little bit of carb with my breakfast and dinner is it wrong to have carbs in with breakfast? Just to help with sleep??
Great content Debra – thank you! I'm a 4'9.75" 78 lb 65-year-old and have been eating much more protein & doing a lot of strength training and now have muscles where I never had them my entire life!! Anyway, as tiny as I am, should I still get 30 grams of protein a meal? Since I use Cronometer, I sometimes end up with over 90 grams of protein because it not only counts the high-quality protein sources, it also counts the protein in sweet potatoes, arugula, nuts & collagen… but the actual protein from animals & yogurt is more around 70… what to do???
I've been hearing, "eat more protein, eat more protein" for a few years now but you are the first person to clearly explain why that is important and the best way to do that. Thank you!
Bullshit go to the point
Do we need to take dhea
This was so insightful. How about protein intake post-hiit workout?
I love your channel I just want to ask I’m 5 ‘1” at the moment I’m 56.5 kg I like to get to at least 52 kg but I’m finding because of my height my calorie intake according to my height is much lower so when I try and eat for example 115-120g of protein a day plus vegetables I end up eating more calories than I need for my height so losing those last 4 kg it’s really hard. I do weight training three days a week at the gym and I’m lifting heavy and in between I do long walks or swimming and now have incorporated a couple of 10 second sprints.
So what’s happening is that my weight is stable but I’m getting muscle wastage if I cut my calories or don’t have many carbohydrates as I’m doing high-protein low to moderate carbohydrate and at times I can get extremely tired and find it hard to do my weight training ….I wish I was 5 foot 10 because I’m still lifting the same amount I of weight but I have to eat less calories…by the way I’m 63 help ! 😢
Thank you for being so articulate, and friendly- u help me sooh much!
❤❤❤❤❤
Very very helpful 😊
I learnt so much from this single video – thank you!!
Fabulous explanation!!!!
I'm 5'8" with a large frame. If my ideal weight is 140 lbs then I should be eating 140 grams of protein per day. That seems like an awful lot of protein. Am I mistaken in my calculations? Does that mean roughly 47 grams of protein per meal in a 3-meal day? Thanks for the great video! Very informative!
I don't think I heard the answer to how much protein needed per day. I just watched a video where you said 30 grams a day, then you made a breakfast with the entire 30 grams, so now this video sounds like insert the number of grams for our individual needs, let's say 30 grams but is that per meal (bfast and dinner) or per day. You say snacking on high protein foods doesn't help, but then you say have "some" protein during the day to keep levels up. I am totally confused. :/
You are absolutely stunning, BEAUTIFUL
I am 5 feet tall 97 pound. I eat 4 meals a day. however, I cannot gain any weight. I eat a lot of food each meal until my stomach is full. I am 57 yo female, I believe I eat at least 80g protein a day plus doing resistance exercise at least one hours a day. I don’t know what else I can do to increase my muscle mass. From my my smart scale, my muscle mass is 72 pounds and it’s in the lower end.
So if I am 70 kg,I should have 70 gr. Protein a day?
Excellent, excellent video. Thanks so much.
If I eat too much protein my blood sugar spikes ! I like Mike Mutsel from high intensity health who advises a minimum of 1.2 to 2.2 times your ideal body weight in kilograms of protein per day ! For example if my ideal weight range is 120 pounds ( I’m very petit height ) that 54 kilograms multiply that by 1.2 to 2.2 that’s the total protein in grams per day ! 64 grams to 108 grams per day !
How do vegans get enough protein without getting too many calories? 🤔
I feel best eating meat for protein
Can I take protein shakes rather so I know I'm getting it.
So happy to find your videos on my feed this morning, just turned 52 on 6/20, and have been a daily excerciser since mid 20s, walking pilates yoga strength training and only today have i learned where tabatas came from… I appreciate you and the many topics especially this topic i have much to learn 🤷🏻♀️👍😊
Thank you for sharing. I gained so much information.
Question I am 61 years old. I work out with Personal Trainer 2-3 days a week for 30 mins. I am walking 5 miles as my cardo approx. 3 miles. I total approx 10K to15K steps about 5 days per week. I am on HRT. Check blood levels qtrly. BMI is still at 25 weight at 137. I have eaten 1700 calorie diet low fat low carb. and as low as 1000 calories per day. I can not get off the 10lbs to be at my ideal weight of 127. I loose 2lbs only to put it back on the following week or even in less time. what can i do differently to move the scale?
Great 👍 video.
I found you by accident (I'm sure it was God who led me here). I'm 62 years old. Was ALWAYS fit and an avid runner until 2019, when I was in a horrible accident. The accident and Covid did a number on my fitness level. I was a 16/8 intermittant faster and was Keto'ish…..and the weight began to increase, no matter what I did. I am sooooo inspired to start weight training and upping my protein intake. Thank you for the valuable information you're providing. I genuinely feel like I can regain my health. 🙂
How tall are you?
I thought you initially said 1 gram of protein per kg. 1 kg is 2.2 pounds. So that would be less protein for a 120 pound person.
Question: Somewhere along the way I heard it said that large amounts of protein is not good for the kidneys. Can you speak into that?
