Shits weird tbh, went on a carnivore diet for 4 months and saw faster progress than on a balanced diet. Muscles look slightly fuller tho with carbs back in can’t lie
There is a part of your argument I disagree with. Taking in more protein than needed does not make you lose muscle mass. Any extra protein you dont need will come out through digestion. You said it yourself, if your bulking use your goal B.W. do find out protein intake. That contradicts your first point in the video. Carbs and Fats have negative effects if taken in abundance, not proteins.
His point is that low carbohydrate intake impacts your workout performance, which means you won't be able to go as hard in the gym to stimulate muscle growth. He's not saying that consuming carbs and fat in excess is a good idea, just that if you want to be performing your best in the gym, you should consume some amount of carbohydrates. Body builders don't ever go low carb when they're bulking, and this is exactly why.
@@nichtsistkostenlos6565thats fair. I really just took issue with the first thing he says in the video is: "You might be eating too much protein and it could be the reason you are not building muscle." I get its a catchy hook, I just thought it was misleading.
@@garagegoblin858sure its unlikely, but some people do keto or take protein intake to the extreme, and thats who he is talking about. More protein doesn't mean better or "unharmful" its plenty harmful. Your kidneys wont like it, you will want to throw up, and your farts smell horrible (for a reason, its not good for you). Listen to your body not unproven advise. Like with everything, overdue it and you get bad effects. Protein isnt magically immune to this law.
@garagegoblin858 It doesn't make you lose muscle mass but too much protein is horrible for your kidneys. It adds extra stress on your body over the long term.
There are plenty of people, educated people, that disagree with him, and age plays a factor as well. 1g per pound is pretty much accepted at this point and for men in their 40's or older they may actually need more than 1g per pound. So his .75 grams per pound is not necesarilly enough.
@jackastor5265 if you're new to working out, I think starting off at 0.75 is great, only after a week or two maybe a month, maybe less time or more time, you can try to think of ways to add more until you hit 1.0
I think a better way to word what he is trying to say is to not be over focused on protein intake and make sure you leave room in your caloric intake for carbs because carbs are what power your workouts in order to lift efficiently for max performance in the first place. Some people eat 1.5x protein and little carbs while cutting and sacrificing their workout efficiency
Most people don’t eat enough protein. It can be expensive. Feel like thats way more prevalent to not building muscle than eating too much protein. Carbs are the cheapest, easiest, ready to eat foods on the market.
Calorie Deficit Calories intake: 1,300-1,500 My weight: 155 pounds Fats: 20-40 Carbs: 90-140 Protein: 155-170 Sometimes idk if I am eating too little or too much, but at the same time I feel like if I eat more carbs and fats I will gain more body fat which I don’t want.
@@nathanieljohnson5908You’re totally right, the other day I eat some pancakes(a lot of carbs) in the morning and some wings (a lot of fat) at night but I was still on 1,300 calories intake and I still lose body fat the next day.
Im early 40s female I dont crave food all day when I am set in a routine of Gym/Library. I think the secret is to keep very busy and to steer clear of places like 'home' or near areas that sell 'takeaway food'.. because then you 'give in' to the cravings. Also water helps. Your body gets used to the idea that ""she isnt going to feed me all day until its the end of the day" and then you have a filling meal and a late night low calorie snack. Might not work for you or others but its definitely worked for me so far.. As soon as i am sitting around the house tho? I just wanna eat.
This is all true, but the advice he's giving isn't primarily for weight loss, it's primarily for muscle growth, which is extremely difficult to achieve while also losing weight.
So carbs are important for providing energy, especially for more intensive workouts, and I know the meta analysis you’re referring to about there not being a benefit eating above 0.7g per lb specifically in terms of supplement induced gains, there is also not a single downside to over eating protein, and protein is the only macronutrient that you can overeat without it getting converted to fat stores pretty easily, and what you failed to clarify is all the research on recomp which shows eating way above the recommended amount to incredibly high amounts has a significant effect on how much fat gets turnt into muscle, so there is no downside to eating much more protein, you only need about 0.7g per lb but it doesn’t hurt to go further, yes don’t forget carbs but it’s wrong to say eating to much protein will inhibit gains because eating more protein doesn’t necessarily mean eating less carbs, there’s many ways to skin a cat and there isn’t one right way to do it. Also it feels like you watched that one Jeff Nippard video without looking at the research yourself or hisnother videos talking about protein. Whichbif anyone is interested in good science based nutrition and lifting information, go to either Dr Mike Israetel or Jeff Nippard directly instead of watching someone give the watered down points, missing crucial information
I am obese (33yo, 177cm, 160kg) and been doing 1500cal w/ 200g protein. Just wondering, do I still really need carbohydrates? I thought of going PSMF and just loose my fats whilst still maintaining (or slightly gain) some muscles.
How has your energy level been? Carbs are a main energy source also for your brain and thinking. I wouldn't completely eliminate them. You are in a high calorie deficit so you will lose weight fast.
@@Roxxyy26 I have been doing pretty good really. 6x a week workout with a pretty high volume and intensity. I have a hevy account and my handle is humblehan, you can see what workouts I did there. In terms of weight/fat lost, I am unsure. I don't really check every month but I do feel the difference when I was trying a pants out the other time where I have to tighten my belt. It was the 1st time since years where I have to tighten my belt.
Guys someone pls tell me is my diet ok or not So as a 15y/o who is consistent doing bodyweight+dumbell workout to gain some lean muscle and be thin I drink daily 2 glasses of milk 2 eggs (duck eggs) daily 30 gms of almonds And chicken weekly once I cant eat chicken bcs i have hemorrhoids and and can only eat beef My weight is around 74-76 kg
My advice would be more general, but since 15 is a very sensitive age for hormones/growth and everything else you can imagine, I would advise you to not take random strangers advice from the internet. Being in a caloric deficit when your body needs nutrients the most can mess you up really bad. Its not just about building muscle, but for your mental development as well. It can also promote eating disorders in cases. On the other hand there are cases of overweight teens (based on their height) who would need a slight and monitored calorie deficit. Since it is all very strongly INDIVIDUAL, having random people tell you how you should eat may end up hurting you. From what Ive seen nutrition becomes a lot more generalised once you are an adult and past puberty, but at your age if you think there may be something wrong with your body or your diet, the best thing you can do is have a professional or a doctor check you out in real life. Good luck friend!
Excess protein itself gets converted to carbs/glucose in our body. Its called gluconeogenesis. So the part about "not eating enough carbs" is unfortunately false. Rare L on this one bruv
Gluconeogenesis is a very inefficient process and is done as a last resort. It's not a good way to get short term energy to help your workout performance. If you're relying on gluconeogenesis as your primary source of glucose, your workouts will suffer.
Uh oh, the carnivore and keto boys aren't going to like this one
lmao
Bahaha... big trigger to that group
They’re scared of a lil veggies 🥒 and bread🍞 😂
@installinggames5135 they're retards i most so much weight! Yeah cuz you cut it so many calories LOL people don't understand this basic concept

Thanks for keeping it real 👍
Most people eat too much protein when they start lifting and listen to lots of misinfo.
Thanks for clearing it up
I appreciate this information
I love this guy! No, really, I do!
What about the thermic effect of eating more protein.?
Hmm you raise a good point
Finally someone who got it right
you cant eat too much protein
I think a better way to word what he is trying to say is to not be over focused on protein intake and make sure you leave room in your caloric intake for carbs because carbs are what power your workouts in order to lift efficiently for max performance in the first place. Some people eat 1.5x protein and little carbs while cutting and sacrificing their workout efficiency
Did you actually want to respond to his point that carbohydrate intake assists muscle growth, or nah?
U can eat too much protein in respect to other macros
Yes you can. Overeating protein long term stresses your kidneys.
@@minkagastonthat’s not true aslong as you haven’t just had a surgery your fine just drink more water
EAT BIG TO GET BIG!! It’s a fact you have to eat above maintenance and train hard
Man can we have more guys like him.. Tq bro

Calorie Deficit
Calories intake: 1,300-1,500
My weight: 155 pounds
Fats: 20-40
Carbs: 90-140
Protein: 155-170
Sometimes idk if I am eating too little or too much, but at the same time I feel like if I eat more carbs and fats I will gain more body fat which I don’t want.
That's not how it works. You don't have to be on a low carb diet to lose weight if that's your goal.

Finally someone who knows
Thank you for this I am so tired of being afraid to eat carbohydrates. Why can’t I eat a freaking banana if I want to.
so when people say you need to be in calorie deficit and train hard to lose fat and gain muscle is bullshido.
Thank you so much for all the information. What advice can you give me to have more energy to work out and not to have any cravings. Women over 45😊
Im early 40s female I dont crave food all day when I am set in a routine of Gym/Library.

Sleep is very important for energy to workout. But you know that! Also, my go to preworkout is Ryse supplements preworkout.
Probably eating the right types of carbs and the right amount, especially for strength training. Some other things, too. I think.
You don't "need" more than .7 g per lb of bodyweight, but you burn more calories digesting protein compared to carbs or fat. And also it tastes good.
This is all true, but the advice he's giving isn't primarily for weight loss, it's primarily for muscle growth, which is extremely difficult to achieve while also losing weight.
If your urine looks like it's carbonated with lots of bubbles floating on top, then that's all the excess protein your body couldn't process.
That sounds scary to see 😂 foamy pee???
@@lizpimentel2566 I'm happy to unlock a new fear for you 🤣
1 gram is OK. You can decrease/increase based on goal.😊
Love this Love carbs 😋

How many carbs should i eat per lb?
So now mention on how many carbs ? Getting healthy is such a formula man
Per pound of "ideal" body weight
How tall are u
What would the recommended carbs be for building muscle?
" i can't hit less protein"
Guys someone pls tell me is my diet ok or not
So as a 15y/o who is consistent doing bodyweight+dumbell workout to gain some lean muscle and be thin
I drink daily 2 glasses of milk
2 eggs (duck eggs) daily
30 gms of almonds
And chicken weekly once
I cant eat chicken bcs i have hemorrhoids and and can only eat beef
My weight is around 74-76 kg

So if I weigh 165 now but wanna cut down to 150 losing body fat , how much protein should I take then , (sorry I don’t understand Iam a little dumb)
150 x 0.7 = 105 grams of protein.
How many grams of fat is the recommended?
Keyword.. Eat enough carbo, dont slack the carbo.. lol who can survive without carbo?? Tell me😂
i barely can find 70-80g protein per day on my 80 kgs weight

carbs reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Wait he might be cooking
I hate math :(
I don't understand?????
Its per Kilogram, not pound
0.7g per kg is not enough. Per pound is enough.
Looks this fella isnt getting enough himself.
You don’t build muscle on 135 g of protein . What are you a bikini competitor?
Tf
Your calculation is wrong.
170 Lbs × 0.7 gm = 119 gm
