Matt Wenning, Love the presentation but collagen is a very low quality protein for muscle, due to its low lysine levels. I do take it, but specifically for tendon, ligament, and general joint health, not for muscle, and i certainly don't count it towards my protein intake. Which leads me to ask, how many grams of this collagen do you take per day? Since you're counting it towards you total daily protein content, and it isn't muscle anabolic, that figure should be lower than the 1:1 protein grams to LBM ratio you recommend. If you have issues with whey, try whey isolate as it's easier to digest, than whey concentrate, and itll have virtually no lactose, milk sugar, as that may be giving you gastric issues. I believe there's various isolates now, some partially digested or broken down if I recall. But you could buy enzymes on the side, including to break down milk sugars, if you want to use whey concentrate, which is more affordable. Some Canadian products also included digestive enzymes as part of the whey formula. Bromolain was also a supplement sold to aid digestion, protein and fats if I recall, and had anti-inflammatory effects. And there always egg protein, as an alternative to whey, which is the quality standard, and some would say even better than whey, depending on the rating used.
This is exactly what I needed to here ….. 5 meals at 40g is way better than what I was told… Marco wise 215 lean muscle body weight 280, this should help with fat loss as well… correct?
Remember Matt's a world class level athlete, ill take experience over MANY RD any day. Would like to know thoughts on seafood though - squid, white fish, etc!
I really got a lot out of this video. In particular, I'm gonna look into Canadian supplement companies since they are heavily regulated. Thanks for the info!
@@SUPERSTROKE333 plant based so the bioavailability is decreased? Sounds great… Also, why not eat 10-15 eggs and a kg of meat a day, will get all the needed protein & micronutrients you need!
@@AK_Catholic_Traditional That is not scientifically proven for 1 for 2 i dont want to die from a heart attack or stroke or cancer and 3 animal products are extremely unethical a cruel. have a great week
@@SUPERSTROKE333 1 Bioavailability is proven to be horrible in plant/grain protein. So it is scientifically proven. 2 You won’t, that would be the result of eating seed oils, sugar and lots of carbs. Last 100 years proves it. With consumption of butter, meat and eggs decreasing, all the things you mentioned increased. 3 It is ethical, except when we are talking about “cow farms” where they don’t see sunlight in their entire life. Free roaming cows, chicken are happy and die lived a good life. Do you think herbivores die “easy death” in the wild when get torn apart alive? How about death of millions of animals due to agriculture because you literally kill every living thing with those machines if you didn’t know. Have a great Lord’s day.
@@AK_Catholic_Traditional the majority of agriculture goes to feeding animals for consumption. If you think its more ethical to kill a happy animal then a miserable one i encourage you to put yourself in the animals hooves... be well
My biggest challenge is getting enough protein when trying to cut weight. It's tough to limit calories when I'm trying you consume the amount I need. Any ideas?
I know several people that misunderstand their body and they don't know what protein is and carbs are. basically everything you eat has protein and carbs what the different things that you eat have either higher or lower amounts of protein.... You are not going to get it from buying a bunch of protein shakes and missing real food it doesn't work that way a protein shake is just a supplement it has its uses but if you are not digesting real food you are not going to see the results you are looking for....
Great stuff! I rarely use Whey and I am unable to eat 5 meals a day so I am not getting your recommended amount. It is very very hard in my opinion to do this on a daily basis though I wish I could. I have lean body mass of approx 200lbs on the upper end which means I would need around 40g every 3/4 hours, not possible in the part of the World where I live, living costs etc make this a hard task...
Absolutely, and I am a very dedicated Powerlifting Athlete so I will be doing my level best to try to gradually build up towards a decent level of quality Protein...am very glad that you give priority to real food, I eat little or no Junk and focus on all natural/ organic which helps we maintain weight even if I'm not hitting the exact Protein targets
Funny thing about whey is Chris Aceto said Jay Cutler looked his best when his protein intake was primarily whey over the years he used more chicken and real food
@@teepressifer Chicken has hardly any micronutrients…. Beef, lamb, pig, salmon etc . Also organs such as heart, kidneys, liver - these things have micronutrients. Lean chicken is only giving you protein. So not surprised. PS I think I also remember Jay saying in offseason he ate red meat and he would be stronger, denser etc. No sh*t. It has a ton of creatine and all the micronutrients needed. Too bad bb-builders are very bro-scientists when it comes to chicken breast & white fish. It’s like - "bro, you gotta eat only chicken breast otherwise won’t get into contest shape".
I also had issues with whey. I bought a very commonly used whey powder and it messes with me bad even though I’m good with milk. Anyone else like this? What stuff has anyone else tried?
Hey Derek, an organic whey or casein may be a good option if you have mild lactose intolerance since it contains considerably less lactose than milk. Organic whey isolates have much of their lactose removed. I use a grass-fed beef isolate from True Nutrition that seems to digest very well. www.wenningstrength.com/collections/manuals www.wenningstrength.com/collections/equipment www.wenningstrength.com/pages/online-coaching
Figure out your body fat percent. Once you find that out you multiple it but your actual weight. For example. If you weight 200lbs and have 20% body fat then you do 200x.20 = 40 now you subtract 40 from 200 and 180 is your lean body mass
when you calculate protein, do you count only meat and other sources or you also count like the 3g per meal of rice or potatoes ? those adds up after 5-6 meal ...
That's kind of a loaded question. If you get super analytical about it, there are lots protein sources out there you can discount because of the quality or the type of amino acids present. i.e. I don't log the 17g from my collagen supplement because I know that protein is going to do nothing to directly help me build muscle. You can look up the PDCAAS chart and check the quality of the protein you're eating, and then decided if you really want to count it towards your daily total. Typically grains, nuts, potatoes, and legumes are middle of the road protein sources with the exception of Quinoa which scores higher because it's a complete protein source (it has all the essential amino acids). I personally count those sources of protein in my daily total, though I rarely eat rice or potatoes, and stick to chickpea or lentil pasta, quinoa, and oatmeal for my carbs.
Does the body absorb all that protein in one seating, saw some research saying that the body won’t absorb more than 30g in a meal. Please tell me this is inaccurate lol would be good news!
So I have a similar lean body mass to you (DEXA #) with 15 extra pounds of overall body weight @6'3. I never..and I mean never..hit anything that looks like 200+ grams of protein in a single day, landing most of the time at 130-140 grams. I'm not a meat eater and boost with whey. If I took in that much protein, I'd do nothing but sleep all day. I'll add that I'm also in my mid 50s, have many decades of lifting and played 2 sports in D1...meaning a lot of wear. I'm wondering if your protein intake is influenced by your training frequency. My joints and tendons can take lifts 3-4 times per week IF 2 of those are accessory days (small muscle targeting and lighter loads). If you can/do go heavy each day, am I hitting roughly your same number between workouts instead of counting out as daily intake? (longer breaks between lifting days, doubling up on protein and repair to match your daily number). Food for thought.
proteinmeal just before workout, which demands digestion en mass, which means more blood to gut and digestion and less to create pump, which create testosterone, for us who train without drugs, is that smart???
I have trouble meeting the proper timing but the way I see it if I can keep my daily protein intake in the 350-400g range I always have some ready to go because it takes a while to break down. I know you said it is overkill to go over 1g/lb bodyweight but I recover a lot faster.
How much gear needed ? I'm not trying to be funny. I love to eat and a trained cook but that's a lot of protein to digest and for the kidneys to filter. So does the anabolics help with digestion and metabolism ? I'm a Natty 67 and it's a chore getting a 100g down. And yes I know TRT is just a doctor's visit away .
Thanks Matt. Enjoying the info.
