Episode notes
Daily Protein Targets For Muscle
- Target 1.6–2.2 g/kg (0.7–1 g/lb) of lean-mass protein daily to preserve and build muscle.
- Prioritize the higher end during a cut and the lower end if trying to gain weight to allow more calorie intake from other sources.
Safe Microwave Practices
- Microwaves are safe for reheating food; avoid microwaving metal and avoid microwaving food in plastic.
- Use ceramic or glass to prevent plastic chemicals migrating into your food.
Soy Is A Useful Protein Option
- Non-GMO organic soy is fine and offers high-quality plant protein; prioritize organic due to heavy spraying.
- Fermented soy like natto provides extra nutrients (K2, spermidine) and can be a beneficial inclusion.
