Let's ask uncle GPT what's the craic with protein powder.
Protein powder can be a beneficial addition to the diet of men between the ages of 20-50 who are interested in fitness. This age range is characterized by high energy levels, active lifestyles, and an increased focus on building and maintaining muscle mass. Here are some reasons why protein powder could be a good idea for these men:
1. Muscle Recovery and Growth: During intense workouts, muscle tissues undergo micro-tears that need to be repaired and rebuilt. Protein is crucial for this process, as it provides the building blocks (amino acids) necessary for muscle recovery and growth. Protein powder, particularly whey protein, is rich in essential amino acids and is easily absorbed by the body, making it an efficient source of post-workout nutrition.
2. Convenient and Quick: Men in this age group often have busy schedules and may not always have the time to prepare or consume a protein-rich meal immediately after a workout. Protein powder offers a convenient and quick solution. It can be easily mixed with water or other liquids and consumed on the go, providing a readily available source of protein to support muscle repair and growth.
3. Increased Protein Requirements: Men who are actively engaged in fitness activities, such as weightlifting or endurance training, have higher protein requirements than sedentary individuals. The recommended daily protein intake for active men is approximately 0.8-1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. Meeting these requirements solely through whole food sources can be challenging, which is where protein powder can be helpful in reaching the desired protein intake.
4. Weight Management: Protein is known for its satiating effect, meaning it helps you feel fuller for longer. By incorporating protein powder into their diet, men can reduce cravings and control their appetite, ultimately aiding in weight management goals. Additionally, protein powder can help preserve lean muscle mass while promoting fat loss, especially when combined with regular exercise.
5. Nutrient Timing and Optimal Results: Protein powder can be strategically consumed at specific times, such as pre or post-workout, to maximize its benefits. Consuming protein before a workout provides amino acids for energy and muscle preservation during exercise, while consuming it after a workout supports muscle recovery and growth. Protein powder allows for precise control of nutrient timing, enhancing the potential results of a fitness routine.
It is important to note that protein powder should not replace whole food sources entirely. A balanced diet that includes lean meats, fish, dairy products, legumes, and other protein-rich foods is essential for overall nutrition. However, protein powder can complement a well-rounded diet, providing a convenient and effective way to meet the increased protein requirements of active men between the ages of 25-35 and support their fitness goals.
LE BOSH! - บันเทิง
The straight talk, the sarcasm and the humor are like tonic to me. So glad that I blundered into your channel. My meager subscription is yours.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
okay Shakespeare
I haven’t watched your videos for about 2 years and I have to say they have improved immensely. The humour is coming through much more as well as the No bs education as always. Well done bro
Filtered milk
I agree. He changed stance and we are all loving it. Feels way more genuine now.
When i was a kid we used to go to the local farm for whey - not whey protein or whey powder, liquid whey. It´s a byproduct of the cheese they made there. We filled it in canisters and fed it to our own animals to make them grow bigger. So yeah, whey works. The farms figured out a way to turn it into a powder, add flavour, and feed it to people instead of pigs. It´s still delicious though, and a lot more convenient than cooking and eating a kilo of meat every day.
a kilo of meat a day isn't that much. humans eat an average of 3-5 pounds of day anyway
@@jsmooth5674yes it is, 1kg of lean meat has 300g of protein in it, far more than most people need
@@jsmooth5674wtf are you talking about a kilo of meat, is a very big piece of meat 😂
@@Wonderkid44a kilo of meat doesn’t mean it’s one piece lmao
@@adamsowa5927 so what? No one eats that much meat a day.
Thank you for being so honest and genuine about 'influencers' when promoting these products. Really helpful video thank you
I watch because you’re genuinely genuine
Never change dude, you’re one of the good ones ❤️
You're smashing this TH-cam ting James, keep at it.
I'm glad you also pointed out that protein also aids with the building, repair, sustenance of other tissues and skin. Since increasing protein intake, my skin has improved noticeably. Another great video James.
Thank you, Tom Hardy. You might not be my Dad, but you're definitely Daddy.
got to be honest, i followed you on socials for years. in the last year i lost interest and got frustrated with the way your content was going. its refreshing to see your youtube going back to how your socials used to be, really great to see clear, honest, non-bias and professional opinions!
I don’t follow any fitness influencers but you just got my subscription. No nonsense education. Much respect! I’m 6’3” and 75kg with a goal of hitting 90kg and I feel like I could learn a lot from your channel!
We have the same goal, only difference is I'm 6'1 85kg, you got this man 14 stone here we come 💯🔥
@@CaptainUncle1836 Nice one man. Lets goooo!
Nice one - similar goal here. I'm 6"2 and 80kg, with a goal of hitting 90kg. Let's get it!
Love your videos and cutting through the advertising to just give it to us straight 🙏
I usually add protein powder at the end of the day if I notice I haven't gotten enough from my regular meals. Great video, LOVE the way you explain things, especially the illustrations :'D
Super content mate. Definitely carving yourself out a cheeky niche in the “fitness content space” with your down to earth style. The sarcasm is also very much appreciated. Keep up the great work 🙌
just about stopped laughing at the end then started up again when i saw your this twot thumbnail for vshred. So glad I saw the viral GMB video last month. Love my dose of JS humour, inspiration, motivation and education.
Absolutely love your videos man! No bullshit, to the point and with a good dose of humour!!
And yes. All about the metric system. So simple yet so elegant haha
For people that don't eat enough like me it's a good way of getting some nutrition in easily
Exactly! I use it to get easy calories in.
Whole milk is cheaper
@@perrygriffin2371 500g of plain whey cost about the same as 9litres of milk. The whey is about 450g protein. The milk is about 300g protein. I suppose the milk has simple carbohydrate and saturated fat, depending on your POV this is either good or bad. Unbranded whey is a cheaper source of protein but.
Agreed, and the calorie to protein ratio ain’t bad
@@perrygriffin2371 1 scoop plus 200 mil of water is 25 grams of protein, how much milk would I have to drink to get that?
You're my favourite fitness TH-camr I've learnt so much from your channel because you make it funny and easy to understand 😂
You’re one sick guy. Love your videos, so informative and incredibly funny 😆💪🏻
Best no BS fitness youtuber, thank u for blessing us with these vids
Agreed
I fucking love you james you really are great i love how blunt and too the point you are
Cracking video! Funny, honest and too the point.
Love the honest opinion, here to stay. No pushy sponsor hook . Thank you
Mate absolutely love your videos. Lots of information and great humor!
New gym goer and therefore subscriber here! Love your content. So funny and refreshing, but very informative too. I'm 34 and am 'skinny fat', got myself a personal trainer and and doing 3 sessions on average in the gym. Love it. Expensive though using a PT but worth in while I'm new I think. 🇬🇧
How does this channel only have 312k subscribers?! Funny, honest, and educational but more funny. True crime of TH-cam.
Because there are a lot of people rather buying nonsense, psuedosience and bullshit, shamefully.
never felt so motivated to just crack on and get shit done before watching your videos. i subscribed after watching just one of your videos (the one about prime), ive seen 3 now and yeah. you're a legend
the geometry part was insane, thank you for making me laugh
Your uploads are my only reason for coming to TH-cam
These videos are absolutely class mate!
As always, great stuff James! Your videos are always entertaining and informative 👍🏻 though with this subject I feel it's worth mentioning the other advantages of protein powder: 1 being the absorption rate (typically taking around 30 mins as apposed to 2-3 hours). 2 the fact that it costs less than buying meat. 3 it's easier to consume and is more convenient than eating a meal (especially if you have prior engagements soon after your workout) Please keep the videos coming mate! They really do make my day 😊
Another great video. I genuinely look forward to your videos.
Love the video. No BS, all questions made simple.
I watched your creatine video about a week ago and it made more sense then anything I had seen elsewhere, much like this one on filtered milk, but you did make me laugh out loud a few times - great work… be well and stay safe and thank you for sharing.
glad i found your channel I enjoy watching your vids in the morning with a coffee. =)
Yes, keep up the no BS and grade A editing please James!
That bit about the toilet was f*cking hilarious. “Filtered milk” 😂😂
Love the rant on lbs, i have the exact same problem. Also body weight in stone, it is archaic.
Good job we didn't get onto Kilometers and Miles!
Listened to this with my headphones whilst not watching the video. I honestly think it was one of the creepiest experiences of my life. 😂 your videos are amazing and the content was just to the point and what we need 💪🏽
I'm having a cold / COVID / whatever with a bad case of sore throat, so after the part at 1:40 I literally started to choke and end up in tears from coughing mixed with laughing. I had to stop the video lol. Take my like, well deserved.
This is gold, I had to watch it twice as I missed most of the first time from laughing so much😂
One of the best and funniest vids! Love it 😂
I'm still laughing at your bum explosions! You made my day!
Thank you James for amazing content!
The milking and smirk 😆 i had to keep replaying that part.
Best video yet you crack me up mate.
I had to watch this video 4 times as I was cracking up with laughter. I comletely lost it at the thought of bringing a protractor in the bathroom! 🤣
Love your take on basically everything. Been having fun making my way through the videos. Could you do a video about working out through grief? I know you would put a lighthearted twist on it. Recently lost a dog and my body was tight and sore for days, regardless of what I did to try to improve it. I continued my workouts because I knew it was good for my brain, but damn…it was hard.
The protractor bit got me so bad, I had to pause the video to watch the rest of it properly 😂
Best video yet!
You gained my trust, mate.
James you make great content am not even interested in training just like your explanations keep up the good work
dude this video was hilarious hahahah and so informative! keep banging these out my guy
As an American, I take the slander of using lbs over KGs, BUT calling almond milk nut juice is where I draw the line, idc if you’re right, we not doing that 😂
It's nut juice!! Get over it! LOL!!!!
great honest funny video as always. Loved the part about explosive shit. we've all been there.
Love your videos mate . There's not much new in fitness/ bodybuilding . The basics work , they always have . Just that now it's an industry . Which means money to be made from naive kids . I've been training since I was 18 , I'm now 61 . You can't alter genetics , but you can be a better version of you . Train consistently , eat well , live well . I agree , protein and creatine are about it , perhaps a multi vitamin if you feel you aren't eating as well as you should be .
You have the best delivery. Odd handy technique, though.
😂😂 keep ‘em coming mate! Brilliant
Our plates (in Canada at least) are in pounds not kilograms. So our bigger plates are 45 pounds and not 44.09.
😂 I love his videos ! He cracks me up every time + good information 👍
thank god i found this channel i was so tired of listening to all the bs marketing from all these influencers fr
Just found your stuff and really enjoy it. Any chance you could do a follow up on this video discussing protein absorption rate?
New subscriber James, and I'm loving the content (no noshing off emoji available) 😂
I get up early, to start milking my almonds, I think oh I'll see what James is up to. Only to have my entire life's work mugged off. 😢
Great content 😂👍🏻
I agree with everything you said and I’ve only discovered you today and enjoyed a couple of your videos. I don’t know much about protein supplements but aren’t they just a convenient way to consume that protein, pre or post workout?
Exactly! Enjoy a protein shake whenever bro, remember a protein shake is just a convenient way to GAIN PROTEIN. Gaining protein can be challenging to some (i hate eating man) so shakes are just a great way for me to get 25G’s of protein EASILY. I like to enjoy my shakes when i wake up and maybe for dinner as a dessert. Ultimately, it’s up to you!
Looking forward to your video on carnivore. Don't know what you've been eating, but I've had none of the 'explosiveness' you talk about while doing carnivore. For me, things down there have been absolutely fine.
The accuracy in this video is insane haha cheers m8. “Filtered milk” 😂
good video brother !!
you really lost me with the kg rant but then brought me back with the milk rant
Great vid, made me laugh as well as informant
Funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time, while giving honest information. You should have been a standup comedian.
Would be interested in your views on supplements for joint care / turmeric etc
I'm always howling 😂 watching your videos. Also very informative 😊
Educational and funny, thank you
Libra Pondo.......
Great vid as ever, keeping health videos fun and educational.
Well these videos are class
Brill, thanks James ❤️
You're welcome
Man I thought I was subscribed already 😮😢 love the vids I send your no nonsense approach vids to anyone who asks this exact question 😂
God damn these are great vids. Thank you James 🤣
In regards to the Pythagoras theorem I think it'd be useful to take into account the cheeks as well
And the relative angle of rectum to bowl
I have only one issue with this video. The use of the word 'probably' when describing the guy on the protein adverts steroid intake 😂
Great video as ever 👍🏻
😂😂 James you crack me up 😂. Thank you for this clarification
Damn you're making me rethink my life choices
Love your vids. I can't believe how expensive Whey protein has gotten the last 2 years.. literally up 100%+ since 2019
Great video. When looking at protein powders, it's the cost I'm focusing most on. Actually going for a vegan powder because it's cheaper and couldn't hurt to make sure I get more B12. I'd like to lose some fat, so I'm adding protein to help keep the muscle I'm working on while trying to lower calories. Not looking for magic. It's just simple biology.
This guy is hilarious. Nothing better than an honest straight talker.
I took protein powder for my first 2 years of training but recently cut it out. I was finding I wasn’t having any issues getting enough protein in through my diet. But I’d say if you struggle with that or just don’t eat enough, then it’s great
Have you thought about branching into stand-up comedy? 🤣🤣🤣 LOVE your content! Nut juice 🤣
Finally a reasonable voice. I don’t know how long I fought the imperial vs metric, or those bs almond/oat and other experiments. I’d take it even further. All of those „milks” if you look at the ingredients, will immediately tell you how little percentage of that actual product is in there, and how much is just some type of fillers (some of them probably harmful long term, but I can’t support it with science so I’ll just say that they not necessarily will help your stomach and can be replaced with something more reasonable and certainly healthier/natural). Great video James ❤
The thinking man’s PT. Funny too.
Every time I see "Mr Yellow" I expect the "WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT MY MOM"
Kinda does my head in a lil when it doesnt happen lolz
Clearly the best fitness channel on planet earth!
Is it ok to use 3-4 more shakes to make up daily protein needed?
Opinions on the leucine trigger hypothesis when it comes to which protein you choose?
James!! You crack me up 😂😂
Haha thats exactly what happened to me in las vegas! Keep up the good work mate💪🏼
Pythagoras! 😂 I actually had norovirus recently so this part made me chuckle
😂 you always find a way to crack me up bro. My day was miserable until I saw this vid ❤
Love ya mate
