I think carbs are underrated by people who lift. Without plenty of carbs I don't feel like I can train as hard, even if I make up the calories with protein and fat. But people tend to be scared of carbs thinking their abs will instantly disappear or something. But maybe that's just because I have an endurance sport background
Noot Noot Depends on ebat type of carbs you eat also. But people's bodies concert to running mostly off if fat when carbs are seriously cut back and lots if fat is added

I am the human experiment. So I've started training. 151 @ 14.5% body fat. Goal is a steady bulk of 1 pound a week. 28 days later I'm very pleased to say I'm 155 @ 14.9% meaning 70% of my gains are muscle (2.8 muscle / 1.2 fat). I'd be happy with 50% but obviously the more the merrier. This means my body's protein synthesis for muscle is about 45 grams daily. I spread protein out efficiently to limit excreting. Mean average of my protein bioavailability is around 70%. I ingest around 100 grams daily leaving around 70 grams to be utilised. Now obviously all that 70 grams isn't going to be muscle. Some will be used for body substances such as hormones etc.

also 1g per lb is overkill when cutting based on studies ive read. .6-.8 is plenty to preserve muscle mass when cutting, the reason you dont want to overkill on protein is because it would take over your diet and you would get sick of taking that much protein in everyday

Actually "overtraining" is meant as the "overtraining syndrome" which basically means "not enough rest". It's not that you train too much, it's that you don't let your muscles rest enough. There are a lot of signs that you are overtraining: Washed-out feeling, tired, drained, lack of energyMild leg soreness, general aches, and painsPain in muscles and jointsSudden drop in performanceInsomniaHeadachesDecreased immunity (increased number of colds, and sore throat)Decrease in training capacity / intensityMoodiness and irritability but it's not that difficult to notice that you are not letting your muscle rest enough. You body will just tell you "stop training so fcking much, this exercise feels shitty, just let me sleep dammit". Big muscles can be overtrained more easily and need more rest, smaller muscles like biceps can be trained multiple times a week. If you train your bigger muscles once or twice a week and you eat your protein and carbs, then you should be fine.
I'm an intermediate weightlifting guy, exercising every day, I weight about 76kg with a height of 179cm (bringing be to about 13% bodyfat). I take in about 170g of protein per day! It's quite easy to achieve this without supplements if you pre cook your lunch and also have a cooked dinner every day ;)
I've been trying to loose weight and build some muscle by following intermittent fasting (8:16) and a low calory (1300kcal average) and protein rich diet consisting of only 1.5 grams/kilogram (turkey breasts+yogurt+canned thuna+whey+whole eggs+tomatoes+cheese+even small amounts of chocolate or pastry+3 liters of water) + working out 3-4 times a week for 45 minutes. I've been able to lose 7 kilograms (15 pounds) and build slightly more muscle mass along with more strenght over a 3 week period. My starting weight was 98 kilograms with approximatively 35 to 40% body fat. Just pointing out that even below the 1.6g/kg recommended in the video for weight loss you can still get satisfying results!
I just came across your Chanel today and I can't stop watching your videos. I am starting on this gym journey and you have helped me a lot THANK YOU! ❤️❤️❤️
Wait I’m confused tho. All I hear is 1g of protein per pound of body weight. Are you sure it’s supposed to be 1g of protein per kilogram of body weight?? Pls let me know
I work out 3 times a week. I weight about 62kg and am 1.7m an i eat (from food only an no supplements) from 120 to 160 grams of protein per day.(2.1 x kg to 2.5 x kg) is it too much or enough? should i buy protein fro the days that my food alone can;t cover 120 grams of the protein i usually take? thank you :)
Johnny Too much. Get 80g of protein daily and that will be more than enough! If you actually like eating protein do it. But if you're like me and like eating carbs and fats but not protein than you can stick to that lower end while making optimal gains. Just stay in the 80-100g /day range and you'll be fine
Thanks for the reply man! The thing is that the video said 1.2 to 2.3 grams per kilo, so is eating closer to higher end of the spectrum bad for me or is it just a "waste of protein"? cause as I said all of my proteins come from the food a eat and i meet my BMR just fine. so should I reduce or not?
@Johnny, so I think it depends on your goal. If you want to bulk, or to cut.If you want to bulk, then you should also focus on your carbs, on the other hand, if you want to cut, then I think around under 2.5g/ kilos would be fine. As the video says, over 2.5g/ kilos per body weight may not benefit. Again, as the video says, if you don't have any existing kidney problems, a healthy individual can sustain the consuming amount up to 4.5g/kg (but don't, cause being over 2.5g/kg does not benefit)
Can you PLEASE make a video on when to Bulk/Cut & break down what that actually is? I google and read so much about those topics, but still end up confused. Your videos simplify everything and are fun to watch.
I sent my physical conditioning teacher a link to your channel, he said it's good and he might include some videos to watch on the channel for his course
If you look closely there's shit lot of journal down below, those're scientific proven. So..... ya just do whatever the fuck you want bruhh... it'll be fine
Hey, I'm going through a cutting stage at the moment (preparing for holiday). I've always thought that as you are cutting in a caloric deficit, you can only try to maintain strength - it should never increase. However, my 1Rm has increased in bench from 110kg-115kg and likewise in most lifts (Except for deadlift which remains at 200kg). Somebody at the gym told me this is due to increased protein intake, regardless of the calorie cut. Is this bro science, if not how can i be gaining strength? Thanks for your videos they are amazing and incredibly informative
3 egg whites + 1 egg yolk + 30g Greek yogurt + some kind of vegetable is amazing weight loss breakfast works amazing for me I eat it around 4 times a week on the other days i have oatmeal. I preffer eggs because of high protein but when i eat oats i dont get hungry until lunch easily. Just wanted to share
I really believe these 200/300g protein diets are all scum and overrated especially for casual people who train 45 mins/1 hour in your casual gym.I tried a high protein diet and the only thing i managed was to damage my right kidney permamently.Im now being a competitive olympic weightlifter who trains 2 hours oly lift and 1 hour other muscle groups(just for looks) and i consume 145g protein for training days and 100 for non training days.I got my gains,and i become stronger as well.I really see those diets pointless
@bigkahunaburger steroid not fool .... steroids user require atleast 1g per lb ...i am lifting for almost 4-5 years was on high protein diet when I was beginner ....high protein is a scam get atleast 0.8g to 1.2 g of protein per pound lean body mass (ex : if you are 170 lbs and 15% body fat then it will be 155 lb your body weight and beyond 1 gram protein if you are cutting for competition .... instead of animal protein go for vegan stuff ....
@@DrunkenSailors1 what are you talking about? there are no studies showing protein causing any damage. You've had that from probably using something else.
i am begginer and i am eating 2.2g - 3g protein per kilogram as well as 300-500kcal more than my regular needs,i am really slim and i am starting to go into hard puberty do i think it isnt problem,i am 163cm and 45kg i am eating 2300-2500kcal and 100-120g of proteins,as well as training 3-5 days per week
I am 80kg of weight and I try to eat at least 170-180 grams of protein per day, sometimes going up to as high as 230 grams. I am very happy with my results :) I feel light and I am losing a lot of weight on a caloric deficit, most of which seems to be fat.
You can always still adhere to unprocessed foods and less sugary beverages in fast food shop. If you are not aware of what you pick, you might as well mess up the nutrient intake in an organic food store.
Wait I’m confused tho. All I hear is 1g of protein per pound of body weight. Are you sure it’s supposed to be 1g of protein per kilogram of body weight?? Pls let me know
I do find it hard to eat more than ~130g of protein. My weight is 85, and I do lift heavy and often. It's just hard to stuff so much meat/fish into myself. I do like meat/fish, but if I try to eat >500g of it a day I suddenly stop liking it for like a week.
You need a lot of protein, i started using more protein after workouts and in a month time my strenght increased a lot. My tip is make a shake with 2 scoop of protein powder 250grams of curd cheese And add milk or water. Drink that after each workout and say hello to the gainzz!
Wait I’m confused tho. All I hear is 1g of protein per pound of body weight. Are you sure it’s supposed to be 1g of protein per kilogram of body weight?? Pls let me know
Nobody needs 2-3g of protein per kilo of mass. Those are supplement industry studies. People can gain muscle on 1-1.6g of protein per kilo easy. I was able to hit 405 on my deadlifts on 50-80g of protein. over 160g is probably overkill
zukodude487987 yup. I'm going quite low on protein myself while cycling 500 mg of test / week. Even on a low dose of test one does not need that much protein. It's just crazy marketing. Hitting 1g of protein per lb of lean body weight ATM.
I'm a Natural bodybuilder and I endorse this vid. Higher protein for 'cutting' and slightly lower for 'gaining' is optimal. Higher Protein diets (say 3-4g x bodyweight in kg) might be harder to consume - but in my experience have resulted in lower body fat gains while 'bulking' and higher fullness in the muscles while 'cutting'. And yes, the common denominator for muscle gains is effective training, not only a good diet. Many people don't get that important point. Good vid!
Technically yes you can, (depending on some factors like what your start point is and your current development level) but only when nutrition remains high in the first few weeks of your cutting diet. However, the chances of gaining muscle while on a restrictive diet are very low.
+PictureFit Can you please provide some proof that shows strength gains benefit from eating 3xBodyweight protein? I am an advanced lifter really interested in strength gains and I am eating right now about 1.8 grams per Kilogram of Bodyweight. Do you think I would gain strength faster if I ate close to 2.5 grams per kg?
Son Goku he can reach his goal weight without lifting. just wont look very pleasing, depending on his fat distribution. however considering his low body weight (130ish) he should look completely fine gaining 15 lbs
Eat 100 peanuts every day, 600 cals and 50 protine. Eat meat and chicken breast, try lifting maybe Eat more food, eat carbs Theres also a video on this channel about your situation, try checking it out
I'd love to see a video on getting a thin skin. We can all drop body fat and get really low but sometimes you look more bloated due to water weight. How to get the low water weight low fat look? I heard that eating fish makes your skin more dry.
Have a low-salt diet since salt retains most part of the water on the subcutaneous tissue, go watch a video on Alpham channel, just search "veins Alpham" and you'll find what I've told you
BimmerKing Drink tons and tons of water everyday if you want your body to hold on to the least amount of water possible. If you get dehydrated, your body will bloat and retain water
hey Picture Fit nice video, hey how about one on the pros of intermittent fasting for weight loss as it supposedly lowers glycogen storages and how to manage it while also trying to maintain proper nutrition/ weight lifting regimen
What about rabbit stavation. When was the last time you saw someone in hospital suffering from protein deficiency? It doesn't exist as long as you eat food even rice and potatoes you are fine to hit the WHO guidelines for both protein and essential amino acids. There is however a condition called rabbit starvation aka protein poisioning caused by high ammonia in the blood from breaking down protein. We do not store excess protein so it has to be excreted. We know alcohol is taxing on our organs but some people get away with it for 30 years. Even as a weight lifter I see no need to exceed 150 grams of protein per day. This is roughly 3 times the recommended RDI by the WHO. This recommendation came from studies they did in the 1940s that found around 25 grams of protein was the minimum RDI. It was doubled to 50g to be ultra safe. Don't over do it guys!
PictureFit So will alcohol kill you? I know an alcoholic well into his 60s with at least 40 years of serious drinking whom died recently of liver cancer. Who's to know if he would have died of cancer had he not be a drinker. There is no way to really know for sure. So the body is very resilient to abuse. But still I would want to eat the best I can to live beyond 60 in good health if I can. Great channel by the way. Will look at the studies.
PictureFit My point is how long do these studies go for where people can get away with consuming 4.5g/kg? You can get away with consuming large amounts of alcohol and say well I consumed more then what the WHO recommends over the past month and my blood tests are in good order. We know that alcohol is taxing to the body long term based on how we process it. Some people can get away with consuming to much alcohol for a very long time so in a study alcohol would appear to be very safe. To tie it in with protein consumption we know that excess protein is not stored. We know that excess protein is broken down into urea and ammonia which is a toxic waste product. The kidneys have the job to get rid of this. No study can prove that this may impact health one day. Some peoples body may cope with this for many many years. Show me a study that went for 30 years of someone consuming 4.5g/kg of protein a day and I'll become a believer.
I'm not telling anyone to consume 4.5g/kg of protein a day for 30 years. That's a moot point. These are for specific goals. Once you reach your goals, you're more than free to revert back to WHO standards.
hey PictureFit can you explain to me why i have a strecth marks on front of my shoulder. i'm working out + bulking for about 5 months now. any solution to fade it away. thanks
Can you make a video about how muscles work and evolve under diferent ways of training like whats the diference between 20 pull ups and 10 weighted pull ups. Which offers what and why. Or what happens to your muscles when you do 50 straight push ups or 12 explosive push ups. You should also talk about rest periods as there are people who claim tha rest is important and others (mostly people who do bodyweight) that training every day is ok.
There are studies that shows that everything above 1.8g protein pr. bodyweight dosn't effect the body better. To keep things simple. Preserving muscles: 0.8-1g/kg Beginners/Intermediate (gains): 1.5-1.6g/kg Advanced weightlifters: 1-1.6g/kg

I've been trying to loose weight and build some muscle by following intermittent fasting (8:16) and a low calory (1300kcal average) and protein rich diet consisting of only 1.5 grams/kilogram (turkey breasts+yogurt+canned thuna+whey+whole eggs+tomatoes+cheese+even small amounts of chocolate or pastry+3 liters of water) + working out 3-4 times a week for 45 minutes. I've been able to lose 7 kilograms (15 pounds) and build slightly more muscle mass along with more strenght over a 3 week period. My starting weight was 98 kilograms with approximatively 35 to 40% body fat. Just pointing out that even below the 1.6g/kg recommended in the video for weight loss you can still get satisfying results!
can you make a video on why certain joints pop and should that be a concern
My knees used to cracks everytime when doing squats, almost bought the special tissue for the knees but it suddenly stopped
You know what i really love how you add a little humor to your videos by dissing what jerks say and saying the point with facts and science!!
This channel is so underrated
Appreciate the comment, bud.
I just came across your Chanel today and I can't stop watching your videos. I am starting on this gym journey and you have helped me a lot THANK YOU! ❤️❤️❤️
at 1.75g/kg of protein on a cut before even knowing these recommendations. glad to see that my protein intake is fine haha
Wait I’m confused tho. All I hear is 1g of protein per pound of body weight. Are you sure it’s supposed to be 1g of protein per kilogram of body weight?? Pls let me know
@@marco7838 1kg is 2.2 lbs so 2.2g/kg is the high spectrum equivalent to 1g/lb
Always looked out for a channel like this, now i found it lol. Just thank you so much, your videos are awesome, greetings from germany
I work out 3 times a week. I weight about 62kg and am 1.7m an i eat (from food only an no supplements) from 120 to 160 grams of protein per day.(2.1 x kg to 2.5 x kg) is it too much or enough? should i buy protein fro the days that my food alone can;t cover 120 grams of the protein i usually take? thank you :)
Johnny Too much. Get 80g of protein daily and that will be more than enough! If you actually like eating protein do it. But if you're like me and like eating carbs and fats but not protein than you can stick to that lower end while making optimal gains. Just stay in the 80-100g /day range and you'll be fine
Thanks for the reply man! The thing is that the video said 1.2 to 2.3 grams per kilo, so is eating closer to higher end of the spectrum bad for me or is it just a "waste of protein"? cause as I said all of my proteins come from the food a eat and i meet my BMR just fine. so should I reduce or not?
You better use lean body mass when calculating your protein intake
Johnny man that's a lot dude ,
@Johnny, so I think it depends on your goal. If you want to bulk, or to cut.If you want to bulk, then you should also focus on your carbs, on the other hand, if you want to cut, then I think around under 2.5g/ kilos would be fine. As the video says, over 2.5g/ kilos per body weight may not benefit. Again, as the video says, if you don't have any existing kidney problems, a healthy individual can sustain the consuming amount up to 4.5g/kg (but don't, cause being over 2.5g/kg does not benefit)
Can you PLEASE make a video on when to Bulk/Cut & break down what that actually is? I google and read so much about those topics, but still end up confused. Your videos simplify everything and are fun to watch.
I learned alot from this channel most of the other channels are full of shit and gym bro tips..You seriously deserve more subscribers
Thanks for the support man
PictureFit Keep up the good work dude
I sent my physical conditioning teacher a link to your channel, he said it's good and he might include some videos to watch on the channel for his course
Course, class, I don't know the exact word that fits there :$
Awesome!
all of this is just advice ... you can do whatever the FUCK you wanna do !
All kiiiiiiiiiiiindz
If you look closely there's shit lot of journal down below, those're scientific proven. So..... ya just do whatever the fuck you want bruhh... it'll be fine
Chuay KS not sure if you're being ironic lol. It's just a joke from two famous, not so fit anymore youtubers, the hodgetwins
jassim nuwaider Eat shit
jassim nuwaider get the fuck out the whey !!!!
This seems to be one of the best videos about this topic. Thanks a lot
Thanks for the compliment man!
Hey, I'm going through a cutting stage at the moment (preparing for holiday). I've always thought that as you are cutting in a caloric deficit, you can only try to maintain strength - it should never increase. However, my 1Rm has increased in bench from 110kg-115kg and likewise in most lifts (Except for deadlift which remains at 200kg). Somebody at the gym told me this is due to increased protein intake, regardless of the calorie cut. Is this bro science, if not how can i be gaining strength?
Thanks for your videos they are amazing and incredibly informative
you can gain strength while cutting it's just harder to do. it also depends on how long you've been lifting among other variables.
3 egg whites + 1 egg yolk + 30g Greek yogurt + some kind of vegetable is amazing weight loss breakfast works amazing for me I eat it around 4 times a week on the other days i have oatmeal. I preffer eggs because of high protein but when i eat oats i dont get hungry until lunch easily. Just wanted to share
All those buff dudes in prison with there crappy prison diet. No way they are taking in loads of protein, yet they still grow.
Trev Barlow sleep and they steal other prisoners food
I really believe these 200/300g protein diets are all scum and overrated especially for casual people who train 45 mins/1 hour in your casual gym.I tried a high protein diet and the only thing i managed was to damage my right kidney permamently.Im now being a competitive olympic weightlifter who trains 2 hours oly lift and 1 hour other muscle groups(just for looks) and i consume 145g protein for training days and 100 for non training days.I got my gains,and i become stronger as well.I really see those diets pointless
@bigkahunaburger steroid not fool .... steroids user require atleast 1g per lb ...i am lifting for almost 4-5 years was on high protein diet when I was beginner ....high protein is a scam get atleast 0.8g to 1.2 g of protein per pound lean body mass (ex : if you are 170 lbs and 15% body fat then it will be 155 lb your body weight and beyond 1 gram protein if you are cutting for competition .... instead of animal protein go for vegan stuff ....
@@DrunkenSailors1 what are you talking about? there are no studies showing protein causing any damage. You've had that from probably using something else.
They might be getting more protein from commissary
i am begginer and i am eating 2.2g - 3g protein per kilogram as well as 300-500kcal more than my regular needs,i am really slim and i am starting to go into hard puberty do i think it isnt problem,i am 163cm and 45kg i am eating 2300-2500kcal and 100-120g of proteins,as well as training 3-5 days per week
THUS SAYETH ARNOLD: THOU SHALT CONSUME ONE GRAM OF PROTEIN PER POUND OF BODYWEIGHT!!!!
Per kg of body weight
Thank you, just in time, I was searching about it this day, and then, booom you post it
I'm tubby but I lift. Do I base protein on my big fat body or the weight of my lean svelte aromatically pleasant muscles?
Edward Foyer
How to determine such things?
Edward Foyer cool! Thanks!
I love how you put sources so legit
Thanks!
I am 80kg of weight and I try to eat at least 170-180 grams of protein per day, sometimes going up to as high as 230 grams. I am very happy with my results :) I feel light and I am losing a lot of weight on a caloric deficit, most of which seems to be fat.
What do you eat? Except from protein powder
i’m 242 rn and i’m seeing i should be eating atleast 180. is that enough or too little? i’m pretty fat
You can always still adhere to unprocessed foods and less sugary beverages in fast food shop. If you are not aware of what you pick, you might as well mess up the nutrient intake in an organic food store.
GAINZZZ! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
ALL KINDS!
Wait I’m confused tho. All I hear is 1g of protein per pound of body weight. Are you sure it’s supposed to be 1g of protein per kilogram of body weight?? Pls let me know
I do find it hard to eat more than ~130g of protein. My weight is 85, and I do lift heavy and often. It's just hard to stuff so much meat/fish into myself. I do like meat/fish, but if I try to eat >500g of it a day I suddenly stop liking it for like a week.
You need a lot of protein, i started using more protein after workouts and in a month time my strenght increased a lot.
My tip is make a shake with
2 scoop of protein powder
250grams of curd cheese
And add milk or water.
Drink that after each workout and say hello to the gainzz!
@Ausla Davis People normally use Whey proteins tho, they are not from soy
Wait I’m confused tho. All I hear is 1g of protein per pound of body weight. Are you sure it’s supposed to be 1g of protein per kilogram of body weight?? Pls let me know
This is the best channel on TH-cam.
Wow, thanks!
Nobody needs 2-3g of protein per kilo of mass. Those are supplement industry studies. People can gain muscle on 1-1.6g of protein per kilo easy. I was able to hit 405 on my deadlifts on 50-80g of protein. over 160g is probably overkill
Did you read the studies?
zukodude487987 yup. I'm going quite low on protein myself while cycling 500 mg of test / week. Even on a low dose of test one does not need that much protein. It's just crazy marketing. Hitting 1g of protein per lb of lean body weight ATM.
After reading this I might take in less protein I currently take 120gs might lower it to 70
I'm so glad I found this channel.
Protein gains
I'm a Natural bodybuilder and I endorse this vid. Higher protein for 'cutting' and slightly lower for 'gaining' is optimal. Higher Protein diets (say 3-4g x bodyweight in kg) might be harder to consume - but in my experience have resulted in lower body fat gains while 'bulking' and higher fullness in the muscles while 'cutting'. And yes, the common denominator for muscle gains is effective training, not only a good diet. Many people don't get that important point. Good vid!
Matthew Douglas Young so high protein, low carbs for cutting?
Yes! I made some videos about it.
Matthew Douglas Young cool. I'll check em out. By doing that, can I simultaneously burn fat and build muscle with low carb, high protein diet?
Technically yes you can, (depending on some factors like what your start point is and your current development level) but only when nutrition remains high in the first few weeks of your cutting diet. However, the chances of gaining muscle while on a restrictive diet are very low.
+PictureFit Can you please provide some proof that shows strength gains benefit from eating 3xBodyweight protein? I am an advanced lifter really interested in strength gains and I am eating right now about 1.8 grams per Kilogram of Bodyweight. Do you think I would gain strength faster if I ate close to 2.5 grams per kg?
In the description.
+PictureFit Which exact article? I searched them all but I didn't find the one who says 3 grams per kg help in strength gains.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14971434?dopt=Abstract
Here's the full PDF:
pdfs.semanticscholar.org/091a/bcb00a49054bc1cb17dfecd81aca35047a27.pdf
BTW, 1.8g per kg should be fine even at advanced levels. These findings were for strength competitors.
Wow another great video! You do such a thorough job!
Do you recommend any workout program to gain muscle for beginners? There is so many that i don't which is good right/good.
Leo Pleasure yeah go for it
but from whom are getting the program?
Leo Pleasure alphadestiny novice program
Starting Strength, best way to start.
Starting Strength or Stronglifts 5x5.
Man I love this channel so much
HELP, im a skinny 22 year
old who weighs between 128-132. im trying to reach 145 naturally without lifting. how much protein do i need a day. please!!
without lifting? impossible
Son Goku he can reach his goal weight without lifting. just wont look very pleasing, depending on his fat distribution. however considering his low body weight (130ish) he should look completely fine gaining 15 lbs
Deven Fuentes but dont really serious gains
Eat 100 peanuts every day, 600 cals and 50 protine.
Eat meat and chicken breast, try lifting maybe
Eat more food, eat carbs
Theres also a video on this channel about your situation, try checking it out
Deven Fuentes yea im actually all muscle and im 5'6. but i need to gain 15 pounds mainly in my chest and upper legs so i can compete in kick boxing.
Shit.. I'm addicted to your videos.. They are so knowledgeable and funny too.. Learned so much.. You deserve more subscribers..
Thanks!
All kindzzz of protein gains in this bitch all kindzzzzz
ThisIsBioHazard Yeah
all kiiiiindzz
Who r u referencing
JW Money hodge twins
love that he can even give the sources!
Thanks!
Damn my family never has protein rich food. No wonder I’ve hit a plateau
What do they eat?
I salute you guys for the informative videos you make.
I'd love to see a video on getting a thin skin. We can all drop body fat and get really low but sometimes you look more bloated due to water weight. How to get the low water weight low fat look? I heard that eating fish makes your skin more dry.
Rush lmao ok
Have a low-salt diet since salt retains most part of the water on the subcutaneous tissue, go watch a video on Alpham channel, just search "veins Alpham" and you'll find what I've told you
If you want "thin skin," start hanging out with SJWs. You'll get thin skin faster than you can say "microaggression!"
BimmerKing Drink tons and tons of water everyday if you want your body to hold on to the least amount of water possible. If you get dehydrated, your body will bloat and retain water
Dude your videos are awesome man keep up the good work very informative.
i'm 63kg and workout, planning to eat about 2g of protein per kilo. so does eating 100g of beef steak is enough for me everyday?
derppy lololol you shouldn't eat red meat every day
derppy lololol no it's not: in 100g of beef there's just 26g of protein. See Wikipedia entry for beef
Mirakuru i also eat chicken and fish, ok?
eggs sometimes or everytime you have a meal maybe get 1-2 egg whites. also eat rice, chicken, fish , milk , greek yogurt , nuts
there are proteins in Everything, so it adds up. But eat things like oats they have high proteins while not killing animals
Seems like I've found a legit fitness page to subscribe to after a long time , thank you for your work!! 😀🙏
Thanks for the support!
PictureFit the pleasure is all mine , thank you again and have a great positive day ! :)
So 105 grams of protein if I weight 155? ((I think I did the math right..... Lol.....))
I am a beginner at weight training.
Joe V ayyyyeee im 155 too but ive been getting gains with about 75 grams a day
Great channel, post more videos!! There is no channel that is better.
So I need to eat 1 egg per 2 kgs of body weight...
That means I need to eat
35 eggs a day 😂
That's impossible bruh just eat 3 to 4 eggs aday
A single egg has 6 grams...
So if 1 egg has 6 grams, and I need 74 grams (my weigth 74kg), I still need 14 eggs
@ Watch your words
@@juliano5662 Fucking idiot
hey Picture Fit nice video, hey how about one on the pros of intermittent fasting for weight loss as it supposedly lowers glycogen storages and how to manage it while also trying to maintain proper nutrition/ weight lifting regimen
PictureFit
, are you still agree with what you said in this video?
So many fitness gurus throw around that WHO 0.8-1g per kg, but mistake it for pounds...
So a person weighing 150lbs would take 150 grams of protein? Do they like their kidneys?
Did you even watch the video?
First Last did you even watch the video?????
First Last
Did you even watch the video?
First Last, did you even watch the video?
This is so entertaining video a lot of lessons,motivation and all of my problems in muscles can solve this CHANNEL thanks
Optimal protein intake =0.82 per pound of lean mass
Should've also mentioned the negatives of the lack of protein intake
I want that chicken tho ;_;
This channel is great, has helped me so much!
What about rabbit stavation. When was the last time you saw someone in hospital suffering from protein deficiency? It doesn't exist as long as you eat food even rice and potatoes you are fine to hit the WHO guidelines for both protein and essential amino acids. There is however a condition called rabbit starvation aka protein poisioning caused by high ammonia in the blood from breaking down protein. We do not store excess protein so it has to be excreted. We know alcohol is taxing on our organs but some people get away with it for 30 years. Even as a weight lifter I see no need to exceed 150 grams of protein per day. This is roughly 3 times the recommended RDI by the WHO. This recommendation came from studies they did in the 1940s that found around 25 grams of protein was the minimum RDI. It was doubled to 50g to be ultra safe. Don't over do it guys!
You're free to read all the studies I provided in the description. It covers all the point you made except for the random statement about alcohol.
PictureFit So will alcohol kill you? I know an alcoholic well into his 60s with at least 40 years of serious drinking whom died recently of liver cancer. Who's to know if he would have died of cancer had he not be a drinker. There is no way to really know for sure. So the body is very resilient to abuse. But still I would want to eat the best I can to live beyond 60 in good health if I can. Great channel by the way. Will look at the studies.
I'm certain alcohol can reduce a person's lifespan, especially chronic drinking, but I wasn't sure how that ties into a video about protein intake.
PictureFit My point is how long do these studies go for where people can get away with consuming 4.5g/kg? You can get away with consuming large amounts of alcohol and say well I consumed more then what the WHO recommends over the past month and my blood tests are in good order. We know that alcohol is taxing to the body long term based on how we process it. Some people can get away with consuming to much alcohol for a very long time so in a study alcohol would appear to be very safe. To tie it in with protein consumption we know that excess protein is not stored. We know that excess protein is broken down into urea and ammonia which is a toxic waste product. The kidneys have the job to get rid of this. No study can prove that this may impact health one day. Some peoples body may cope with this for many many years. Show me a study that went for 30 years of someone consuming 4.5g/kg of protein a day and I'll become a believer.
I'm not telling anyone to consume 4.5g/kg of protein a day for 30 years. That's a moot point. These are for specific goals. Once you reach your goals, you're more than free to revert back to WHO standards.
I love Picture fit. Keep it up man
Will do, and thanks!
You're most welcome.
hey PictureFit can you explain to me why i have a strecth marks on front of my shoulder. i'm working out + bulking for about 5 months now. any solution to fade it away. thanks

Keep up with videos their motivational at the same time educational 👍👍👍
THANKS :D
My pleasure man
Amazing channel. Keep up with a good work
more like brotein...
Can you make a video about how muscles work and evolve under diferent ways of training like
whats the diference between 20 pull ups and 10 weighted pull ups. Which offers what and why.
Or what happens to your muscles when you do 50 straight push ups or 12 explosive push ups.
You should also talk about rest periods as there are people who claim tha rest is important and others (mostly people who do bodyweight) that training every day is ok.
Protein this protein that.. Just eat.
Papa bless.
Not everybody on this planet eats meats,fish and eggs every single day...

Thanks for slowing down your speaking pace lol
thanks for linking the sources
Early AF!
There are studies that shows that everything above 1.8g protein pr. bodyweight dosn't effect the body better.
To keep things simple.
Preserving muscles: 0.8-1g/kg
Beginners/Intermediate (gains): 1.5-1.6g/kg
Advanced weightlifters: 1-1.6g/kg
