- In this video I am responding to comments/questions from a recent instagram post about my diet.
00:00-01:47 My typical diet
01:48-02:54 Are you really using tren?
02:55-06:46 Are you worried about your "low" protein intake?
06:47-11:52 Why do you avoid caffeine?
11:53-15:49 Portion sizes. How do you get by on such a little amount of food?
15:50-21:58 How do you deal with hunger during the day

Hahaha this dude's hilarious. Imagine how funny he would be if he increased his protein intake......
That bit had me dying 😫😂
Hahaha!

Alan is the most "who cares?" fitness person.
the realest
If that were the case would he really go through the trouble of posting his whole life on the internet like a snowflake?
@@ericcartmansstrengthandpow5960 lol, you are a sad sack.
@@DrewLSsix he has a point. Dont be a nuthugger
Have you tried caring less?
"Not every day needs to be thanksgiving day"
And THAT is exactly what America needs to hear.
Yup. It makes Thanksgiving better too. Things like pumpkin pie and stuffing are some of people's favorite foods but they only eat it 1/2 days of the year and it makes it that much better. So why do you need to have burgers/pizza/ice cream/fried chicken every week to be happy/satisfied? Limiting those things make them so much more pleasurable. A good scoop of gelato at the beach (with a healthy body) is so much more pleasurable than if you are downing a pint of Ben and Jerry's every weekend.
Too fucking right
And yet we should be giving thanks every day 🤔
But… obesity :(
@@TheGreektrojan Completely agree. I love a beer, so I get a beer subscription with 8 beers a month. Have one on a Friday evening, one on a Saturday evening. It's a nice treat to look forward to, and doesn't affect my calories for the week. Managing to lose 2lbs/week while keeping them.
The scoop and a half of protein bit made my night. Good night, allen
Same, literally went straight to bed afterwards
PER DAY!!
I'm having my scoop and a half right now out of spite for this guy speaking so much truth.
But over the course of a week that is 10+ scoops of protein. His diet makes sense if he wants to stay a certain size. If he wanted to put on more mass then those 12 scoops would make a difference of a couple extra pounds of mass. Simple equation the more you eat the bigger you'll be. At some point you are just adding fat but his current diet does limit his capability for "sick gains". Which, of course, is his decision. I'm sure if Alan wanted to get bigger he would eat more.
@@apeekintime Exactly. 35 grams of protein is quite a bit.
The “it’s okay to be hungry” has helped me so much. It helped me lose weight when I first started to lose weight 4 years ago, and helps me now as I try to get “lean”
100% would hit the deadlift world record if you had the protein bro.
or that 400# stone
Lol
Lol
Alan should try to break Thor’s record by deadlifting 501.1kg after binging some coffee and protein.
🤣🤣🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wait, so he wasn’t saying “Tren on time” all these years?
Lovely
You have been lied to
Hahahaha!!
BAHA YOU
This guy is so real and wise, give Alan 10 more years and he'll reach Nirvana for sure lol. Not really what he knows (cause knowledge will change as research evolves) but how he approaches things and how he's always open minded to identify his own mistakes and fix them. You are a good influence Alan, keep at it.
Not that good of a band I don’t know why he’d want to listen to them
Amen.
@@Limbaugh_ you have got
To be trolling
@@krispychickun8591 Yeah, he's def trolling. Nirvana is an awesome band.
>Alan 10 more years and he'll reach Nirvana for sure lol.
Especially if he gets an extra scoop and a half of protein
Really solid, practical advice.
The doctor looks suspiciously like a strength coach I know.
dont you mean a famous reporter?
Also reminds me of Alan Paul
@@axislobo you mean Adam Paul?
@@ivokraaier9740 the plot thickens 🤔
Yeah, JUST like Mike Israetel, right????
Alan, your version of "what i eat in a day" is so much more respectable than the norm. Respect!
All those bodybuilding articles out there will tell you to maximize every meal, never be hungry, and take all the supplements to build or maintain muscle. They just can't accept the fact that being hungry is alright like you said.
The thing about those articles is that they aren't actually targeted for the normal guy who just wants to lose weight or gain muscle even if they are advertised towards that demographic. They're usually based off high level performing individuals i.e. pro powerlifters and bodybuilders where what they eat and how they build and maintain muscle mass is their job it's how they earn money so the devil is in the details of how they do so because that's their job and they gotta do it as best and efficient as possible.
But for the regular joe, like what Alan said 35g of protein under isn't going to kill your gains. You don't really have to hit things to the calorie or to the exact gram to see results. Eat enough(be it deficit or surplus depending on your goals), eat properly(balance of macros and fruits and veggies), and keep general track of your food and performance in the gym and be C O N S I S T E N T which is the actual deciding factor of seeing results.
that’s because if you’re on gear then your calorie partitioning is way different and you can afford to be a glutton to an extent
Because they make money if they convince you of that
All they want you to do is buy protein products, big push for it. That's all.
I really feel like the feeling of hunger is important. It tells me that my body is done processing what I gave it and is ready for more.
Alan is the only fitness-TH-camr whom I believe when he says he doesn't do steroids.
There are others. Scott Herman, Jeremy Ethier, Lee Hayward to name a few.
He doesn't look like he does them anyway...
@@ghost187x Lots of people who take them don't look like it.
@@Jay-we2ek I remain sceptic with these...
Candito as well
You got the 95' championship but you also could have won World's Strongest Man in 1996 if you were taking a scoop and a half of protein
Straight up facts!
@@yunjay99 not really
So much wasted potential, smh my head
@@yunjay99 watch the video
Based
Summary of video: the reason Alan can eat so little food and protein while training so much is because of 200mg of tren per day
Annnnndddd rememberrrrrr
Tren on timeeeee
hahahaha
A 22 minute alan thrall video? I must have been a good boy this week
Hey I got Alan Joey, Brian and Chewjjtsu all in the last day. It's been a good day.
Lol
glad you came to the realization about the extra scoop and a half.
Let me tell you how that extra scoop and a half of protein changed my life - Alan Thrall
Was hoping for a cut to the Bill O'Reilly "WE'RE DOING IT LIVE" clip. Keep getting after it dude.
I’ve seen you before....
My first thought too when he said that. That clip's an internet classic....
"We're doing it live!"
@stefonzy isn't Brandon's day job deadlifting??
@stefonzy I'm just a good multi-tasker :)
Great stuff. Particularly liked the discussion about the mental aspect of diet. Keeping busy and focused on activities in front of you keeps normal hunger in the background and keeps scheduled meals on track. If you're just sitting around with nothing to do then snacking happens.
alan this is genuinely one of the best videos i've seen on youtube in a while. your adherence to the "bigger picture" and critically thinking about definitions we usually take at face value (especially in fitness) are things i wish were more common. you and ufpwrlifter have genuinely provided the most insightful non bullshit advice and thoughts on not only fitness, but aspects of life in general. keep it up man!
"If I was using 300mg of tren a day...I don't even know what that would do"
Derek, you have been summoned!
Dude shifted his focus from strength training to general fitness, ain't nothing wrong with that
Having wife and kid kinda puts you in that place. Its no longer about you, but you have to guarantee your presence because now some people depend on you and your general health. :)
Nothing wrong with it at all. But there is something wrong with him having an emotional reaction to comments about his diet, making insane claims like being 35g under on protein wouldn't matter long term SMH
@@GT-cl6ez It doesnt matter at all, i had prejudice about this and i found out on myself that its all bro science. I was competing in heavy weight judo division, after many injuries i couldnt take it anymore so i decided to drop from 100+ division to 90kg. Diets are hard for me eating less makes me angry so i decided to fast every other day, its easier for me to eat nothing at all then eat like a bird. I droped on scale and i didnt lose much strenght my gym PRs are identical now on 95kg as they were when i was 124kg. So "must eat tons of protein every day!!!!"" is "not true and i firmly believe now that its invented by the people who want to sell you protein shakes...
@@GT-cl6ez bruh 163 gms is enough, your protein doesn't need to match the carbs.
@@lalithrockz yeah, it probably is, because it's based on lean mass, not total mass, and Alan's lean mass is probably about 165lbs. But I still think it's irresponsible of him to tell his followers who look to him for guidance that it wouldn't make a difference being 35g of protein down every single day. He only said all that because he was emotional about being asked about his protein intake.
And yeah of course it doesn't need to match carbs. For me that would be 500g of protein 😂
I usually take like 42 shakers with one scoop of proteinpowder in each with me to the gym, and after each set I mix and jug one of them down. I think it helps to keep my rests between sets consistently above ten minutes, helps with hydration as the protein helps the 21 litres of water to be properly ingested, and also covers like one meals worth of my daily protein intake. So it's not just about protein there are multiple upsides to it.
8 hour arm workout?
@@lonle6506 In the curls rack.
Something new “clicks” for me every single time I watch one of your videos. I’ve made so many positive changes simply because you’ve helped me understand diet, nutrition, fitness, general life outlook, etc. Thanks man. You’ve sincerely helped at least one guy be better. 👍
I really liked the hunger segment.
It's something I had to really work on after being unemployed for a while and then getting a physical job. After some mindset changes, I easily lost some excessive fat.
Yeah and once you put that mindset to rest. You just forget about it and before you know it you've gone so much longer then what you really though was "hunger"
I've tried intermitent fasting but I cannot sustain myself without massive calorie intake at work. I walk-run 2 marathons a week and physically push,pull and sometimes lift 50000kg of mass each week. I fast I fall, literally...
@@Jafmanz 😒
Alan is the most natty guy I've ever seen
Yeah, I agree and he's strong as shit.
Let the third eye of truth tell us! Agree completely natty. Mind and body
And still a beast
@@jimbecker6512 hell yeah he is, dude's strong af. Elite natty genetics for sure
@@PEACE-gc4ip he doesnt even take pre workout or creatine = natty af. HE DRINKS DECAF FFS
My diet consist of 100% protein which I take a scoop and a half at a time, every half an hour. I do this all day and all night. I am so fucking jacked and stacked that people call me The Tyre.
Guess how much I weigh? You got it:
1000 POUNDS
That scoop and a half could have changed your life, Alan.
CMON LETS GET BIG
I hope you're getting isolate protein. Wouldn't want those few grams of carbs to ruin your life.
probably my favorite person in the fitness industry.. the realistic approach to training is refreshing. :)
Way to keep things in perspective. We often get lost in the minutiae of things and beat ourselves up over the small details.
Alan in 10 years: "just because your heart stopped beating for 10 minutes, doesnt mean you're dead."
Word people need to stop stressing over the minute details in life
😂😂😂
What are you gonna do not train?
I'm surprised people aren't still asking about that hydro2.0...
"I do not take supplements" > Fails to mention he pounds Hydro2.0 on a daily basis
This remains one of his best memes
Folgers elite.
If Alan just ate more protein and Eddie Hall being hydrated. These folks could change the world
Yep🙌😅
Alan approaching training schedules with a huge Big Lebowsky energy
3:43 the way you put it brings it to perspective. Wow
You have such a level-headed view of fitness. The entire internet is filled with BS, lies and misinformation. Your self-reflection is a welcome diversion.
Alan, you always have the right explanations for all the myriad issues we encounter with training and then putting it all in perspective. Thanks for all. Semper Fi.
Starting a gofundme to get poor, starving Alan the help he needs.
What?
The rant you made about hunger was super relatable. I spent my childhood well fed, but I never felt satiated until I was 22 when my metabolism slowed. It felt so weird to me that even after gorging my face with a meal that made me feel like my stomach would pop, I still felt hunger. It was a depressing thought that I could never feel full. I have a much healthier metabolism and diet that I now feel full after much less.. I do think it’s a poor feedback to confirm that you are eating correctly.
I love you so much for your knowledge and delivery.
I caught the “whatever, we’re doing it live” and smiled a deep smile and the protein thing was HILARIOUS and well played out- bruh…can.you.imagine….
…
…can you even?
💗💗💗
Alan is probably one of the only TH-camrs who follows the facts and is an eternal student of strength and conditioning. He’s not stuck in a single paradigm like many are. I don’t always agree with everything he says but it all comes from a place of integrity, consistent curiosity and a sense of mastery.
After years of struggling with my nutrition (diet), I am finally starting to get a hold on it. Alan, you are spot on. We simply don't need to eat as much food as we think. It's us against ourselves (instincts, emotions, desires). You are showing us the way. Amazing you can do what you do on 3,000 calories. Thank you.
My favorite line...'Bro, if I was taking that scoop-and-a-half of protein a day...can. you imagine!"
If you subtract the weight of Alan's beard, he'd probably weigh 165 lbs.
OH MY GOD THAT MONTAGE OF YOUR PROTEIN INTAKE WAS HILARIOUS! I like your perspective. Thanks for sharing!
I love your “keep it simple” attitude that you have applied to your diet. A lightbulb when on with your discussion about hunger and that is going to help me a lot going forward. Also, thanks for the humor regarding protein :)
I havent watched one of his videos for a year or two and he's looking so lean now- good going bro
The protein gag was amazing - it triggers so many people. The lifestyle factors you mentioned before hand I wish most of my bro scources had of told me were more important at the time
I fell aslepp during the caffeine part.
Such a wonderful way of putting things into perspective, thanks Allan.
Seems to me you look really well, healthy and happy.
Who could ask for more?
I feel like this a really good opportunity for an informal experiment to see how you feel after adding that scoop and a half of protein for a predetermined amount of time
Very grateful for this video. From someone who does tend to obsess over protein, perfect form, perfect programming, etc, I needed to hear the messages here. Thanks Alan for sharing your wisdom and doing so with humor and humility, I’m gonna go enjoy my life and training now instead of being OCD about every little detail
I love how you are able to evolve over the years. Mad props.
You're the man, Thrall. Stay golden.
This is awesome. So many people need to hear that you don’t need caffeine, pre, exact protein, etc. props to you Alan!
Great content, I like hearing your thoughts in these longer sit down format type videos
I love this Video! It`s great when you talk to us directly for longer time. You have so much to share.
"hunger isn't an on and off switch"
I've felt hungry right after having a meal when I didn't feel hungry before eating.
I wonder if it was a particularly fatty meal?
If your eating unhealthy crappy food all the time you're gonna be hungry all the time.
My dog does the same thing. Leaves his food all day and once he gets ahold of something(fallen food) he then goes and eats.
Jack Burgoyne I eat moderately healthy and feel hungry all the time. Actually have hunger pangs.
Yes, the feeling of hunger is due to the hormones leptine and ghreline.
It can be misleading and eating can give you more hunger. Or you can be hungry, and after a while, forget you were hungry
Mr Thrall. Your videos contain the most honest and straight forward information out there. Just wanted to let you know your videos are the best by far. The secret pill is "yourself" people. Get your mind right and stay consistent. You're appreciated and I always look forward to your videos.
haha that scoop part was hilarious and well done! And the 14:10 part!! Informative, entertaining, and funny. And with clips and effects, not just a talking face. Appreciate how you have the contents and times too. This is prime content.
One of the most truly useful people when it comes to diet advice. Thanks Alan.
160 grams of protein is about 0.8 grams of protein for you that's pretty much perfect
you have to wonder why he lost a lot of his strength then right?
@@moshuunderwater2624 that’s probably due to calorie reduction and just loosing body weight.
Quick math
@@moshuunderwater2624 are you being foreal the amount of intake in in of itself wont cause strength change. Its all due to weight loss thats why he lost strength and probably doesn't have as much energy in reserve. If that was the case I'd be slamming scoops of protein every 10 minutes at the gym.
When you realize them at the supplement industry generates over a billion dollars I the USA along it’s no surprise this fairytale is still being promoted by so called influencers
Sounds like you're doing a good job sorting what matters with what aligns personally with your goals. Good stuff. 👍
P.S. I eat 'low protein' (around 135 g a day at 180-190 lbs bodyweight) too, and have been for 6 months as to avoid digestive stress. Yesterday I just smashed a 225lb PR for the Clean & Press. I don't think it matters.
I always heard the 1 gram per bodyweight for protein but I also heard somewhere about 1 gram per Lean bodyweight. Like if I weighed 200lbs but lean weight might be 170lbs
Love the content, dude. I needed to hear all of this
Really glad you said these things. Being healthy is a much more valuable goal to spend your time and attention on. You are a great role model.
I’m convinced that half the people that make these comments don’t actually engage in any kind of critical thinking process before posting them. NOT EVERYONE IS THE SAME, PEOPLE.
“So no tren?….”
*breaks skateboard *
Preach it Dude. Minutia will drive you crazy. I love you man. Keep these great videos coming. I have learned so many of the same things by practice .
Your thoughts varify many of my own thoughts.
I have also learned a lot more from you.
I am 61 years old ,training most of my life.
Thanks Al your Channel is great.
THANKS for sharing your experiences 👍
You have helped me alot!
So much wisdom in this video, thanks for sharing Alan!!!
That is exactly how my migraines were as a kid except I would also throw up the whole time. I haven't had one in about 20 years and I hope I never do again.
The whole egg is so much healthier than eating only the egg whites, especially since the yolk is more like a multivitamin multi-mineral idea
exactly! always thought the same way, and dumping the egg yolk is wasteful unless one has a condition.
The extra cholesterol you would get could be easily processed and used if people would MOVE. Walk, hike, train, etc. People are so damn lazy these days their cholesterol is way up because they don't use what they eat and allow it to clog up their arteries. I would never waste eggs by eating them with just the whites. Whole everything. Milk, eggs, grains, meats, fats, etc. Don't be scared of food.
Egg white is amazing when you're in a caloric deficit though. I'll usually add them to a couple of whole eggs in an omelette.
You do realise it's a cholesterol bomb and will increase your risk for heart disease, number one killer
@@aidanc3461 Saturated fats, cooking oils, dairy and red meat raise "bad" cholesterol way more than eggs do, as substantiated by numerous studies over the years. Eggs do not contribute to bad cholesterol the way these foods do. Eggs raise HDL, the good cholesterol, with next to no raise in LDL cholesterol for 70% of people studies have been conducted on. Add to this the fact that cholesterol is not a foreign substance but rather a substance our livers naturally produce that is required for the normal functioning of the body. If your diet has a higher intake of cholesterol your liver compensates by producing less. Adding 1-2 eggs to your per day diet will not make you drop dead in 2 weeks. Obviously, like every other food, consuming too much wil be detrimental to health. Too much of any hormone, enzyme, statin or even oxygen in your blood can cause problems. Cholesterol is just like any other substance.
Thanks for keeping it real, as always Alan. And you keep looking better and better in every video lately.
I cant express how much I love your videos and attitude.
Regarding caffeine and migraines...I have suffered migraines for years. I used to think that mine were associated with caffeine, but experimentation proved that wrong. It turns out that I was sensitive to big barometric pressure changes. I discovered only in the last year that too many carbs aided those migraines. I went keto, maintained my normal 300mg of caffeine a day, and my migraines all but disappeared. Now, when a big storm is coming, the migraines are a tenth of the pain they used to be. In my particular case, glucose and too much of it was the enemy. My pop is sugar-free and I stay under 100g of carbs a day and things have been much improved.
You were more than likely consuming junk carbs or carbs that don't agree with your body. I can eat white rice and my body loves it. In fact I feel it rev up my metabolism... but white potatoes my body hates... I get that shitty carb crash when I eat them... sometimes it a very specific plant toxin or plant oil that is the root of the problem.
That's discipline man.
Right on.🔥🎸🔥
That’s why Rip It is the official sponsor on the battlefield
This is a great video. I appreciate this format.
this is such a great vid allan. Really love the fact that you talk about these things like a normal human rather than a robot like many fitness gurus do
.8 grams protein per pound bw is already a safe margin above what you need to maximize MPS for most people.
That's 160 grams for 200lbs bw
I'm 200lbs, and i get about 180 grams protein a day, but that's just how it works out.
Some of that is PB, which isn't the highest quality amino profile, so i somewhat discount that portion.
Right. Science shows that amount is like 99% of the effect or something super close. The 1g/lb is just to easy a number for people to give up, even on a cut. .8/lb of high quality protein (which Alan is eating) is already doing the work and I'd much rather be eating the way he is than eating all the protein hacked "anabolic" recipes peddled out there.
@@TheGreektrojan -as per science .73g/pound of bodyweight is enough and eating more protein does not add any extra benefits. u can google this and check !
Carbs are protein sparing, and you're eating damn near 1g protein per lb of lbm. People like to regurgitate info they see online without gaining a deeper understanding of it
Exactly. The whole point of high protein diets is to feel satisfied and reduce muscle loss while in a deficit, because some of the protein is being used as fuel. If you're not in a deficit, then there's no muscle sparing benefit to eating the extra protein, since you have plenty of energy without breaking down dietary proteins.
I still prefer it sometimes for the satiety, though.
Best and the most down to Earth TH-camr out there. Much respect all the way from Europe!
The last 5 minutes of this video talking about hunger is absolutely killer that more people should hear! Love it
Interesting about the caffeine! I was drinking coffee all day long, and was having the same problem. I also noticed my energy level was dropping dramatically, to the point I thought I needed to get my testosterone checked. I cut back to a single cup, only in the morning, and my energy came back and migraines went away.
That sandwich sounds so good
Great video, I like how I can drop a like at the very start of the video and not be disappointed when I reach the end of it, I'm just confident that your information is the real deal and you keep delivering, thank you brother.
Really appreciate your mentally healthy approach to fitness. So refreshing.
hunger is a habit our body has cause it likes routine, your body releases a hormone called "ghrelin" around your normal meal times which causes hunger but it lowers over time
I like Alan, Alan is a nice down to Earth guy. Be like Alan.
I tried to be like Mike. It it didn’t work out so I switched.
The section on hunger was super interesting and really helped me understand eating less. I get very caught up in satisfying my hunger immediately, but I like the idea of just not doing so. I am sure it becomes easier the more practice you get. Thanks for the content, the whole video was very informative and interesting.
So many great points in this video. God job Allan your videos are gold.
In real life, 200mg of Tren a day is a CRAZY amount. That would turn you into the Hulk with all the rage.
Maybe with that extra scoop and a half of protein...
Less money on caffeine and preworkouts means more money for tren!
Gotta love the balanced and reasonable approach Alan has. Thanks for the great info. The enemy of good is perfect.
Thank you for this Alan! It was super helpful!
So true about caffiene. Started doing it in the Marines as well as a way to function better and got hooked on energy drinks. Wish I hadn't.
Dont drink it. I suffer insominia. Had not 1 since covid times but its stupid addictive and affects body
I'm most surprised about the fact that Alan apparently doesn't eat any snacks.
Yeah, I'm the same way. I think it just depends on the person but I very rarely feel the need to eat outside of meals. When I do it's usually just a protien shake to get some missed protein in. I think it might be more common in people who have lost 50+ lbs over a shortish period. As you kind of train your body to ignore hunger signals when not necessary. I lost about 80lbs 2 years ago and to this day I don't mind feeling "not full" is how I put it. Like not full but also not starving. 2 years ago I would have said I was hungry at that point and had a snack. Now it just doesn't register at all. I also just don't enjoy eating all the time either. Even when I was fat I only ate x2 a day. But. Everyone is different so who knows.
Smacking is only meant for skinny or bored people.
@@jayn8392 Yeah. I'm a person who has a condition that restricts how much I can eat in a meal. That somewhat forces me to snack. Everyone is different. If I tried to eat a third of my daily calories per meal with drinks I would get incredibly nauseous. I call it eating like a hobbit.
@@urgamecshk oh bullshit. Personally, I just don't find big meals all that filling. Eg an 800 cal meal is only going to feel slightly more satiating to me than a 400 cal meal, meaning that I start feeling hungry again around about the same time (or like one hour later, max). This makes it a lot harder to stay within my daily calorie budget. With snacking, I can space out the calories more evenly so that I don't feel hungry.
It's okay, you don't have to thank me, but I know I've taught you something :)
@@danieltemelkovski9828 the problem here is you call 800 calories a "big meal" where for me and other men it's called "half my meal"
Yes, exactly Alan, the “baseline.” That’s what I am trying to reset.
Thank for your consistently useful content!!
What a video. I totally think that way about being hungry. I feel like I’m losing all my muscle. Looked up videos to help with my cut starting tomorrow. This will help a lot. Thanks Alan.
About the protein requirements:
TL;DR: He is eating more than enough protein right now, as supported by science, just less than most people tend to by common convention.
Right now Alan is sitting at about .825 g protein/lb bodyweight.
The typical benchmark that people quote for protein requirements is about 1 g/lb bodyweight, which is just an easy number to quote. It doesn't take into account body composition or whether you're in a surplus or deficit. Eric Helms actually did a video a few years back explaining how effective muscle growth can be supported by as low as .7 g/lb (it's been a while since I read the study he quoted but I believe that it assumes a caloric surplus). Of course, for muscle maintenance in a caloric deficit you would want to eat more protein than when in bulk, but the exact number of how much he should be eating is impossible for us to predict due to individuality.
Science is also repeatedly late to the party behind bro science too lol. Used to be 20 g per meal max cuz science, but I’ve read a study where 70 g a protein was more anabolic than 35g I believe. And they didn’t know the upper limit.
Many pro bodybuilders get /got 2 G protein/ lb. it’s interesting.
1g/1lb is also a good range for weightless due to the satiety from protein and the thermic effect. So anyone in a deficit it can be beneficial to eat more meat/protein.
Weird, who knew 3000 calories for a 200 lb man was a "little amount of food"? What a world we live in.
It isn’t really the calories he just doesn’t eat a lot of volume
I think the calories are way off on those meals
@@ErikTails they probably aren’t he just eats a lot of high calorie dense foods
Well, when he's walking 18k+ steps a day AND doing intense training every day... yeah... 3000 calories is very low. For him, walking 1 mile is like 100 calories burned, and he's also burning hundreds more during training... so again, yes, he's UNDEReating calories....
Cracked me up on the protein bit. Well executed.
Good advice man always like your videos thanks for doing what you do you rock
