Episode notes
Protein Is The Magic Macronutrient
- Protein is the "magic macronutrient" that benefits fat loss, muscle gain, recovery, endurance and longevity.
- Aim ~1 gram per pound of body weight (use lean mass if obese) to approach optimal results rather than mere RDA levels.
Use High Protein In Isocaloric Cuts
- Compare isocaloric diets: higher-protein (~1g/lb) preserves muscle and increases fat loss versus lower-protein diets.
- Use higher protein to increase satiety and naturally reduce calorie intake during fat loss.
Boost Endurance By Prioritizing Protein
- Endurance athletes should increase protein to improve recovery and training capacity, not replace carbs.
- Better recovery from higher protein lets you train more and reduce repetitive-stress injuries.
