Lose Weight and Keep It Off With Flexible Dieting

The Art of Manliness

NOTE

Feed Lean Mass, Not Fat

Setting protein intake based on target body weight is a practical approach to feed lean body mass rather than body fat mass. Since accurately estimating body composition can be challenging, using target body weight simplifies the process. Animal protein sources, such as meat, fish, poultry, dairy, eggs, and dairy-based protein powders, offer the highest quality protein and are superior in promoting muscle protein synthesis compared to plant sources. While plant proteins like legumes, beans, peas, and soy provide some benefits, they generally have lower digestibility and quality, which affects their anabolic response.
