Yes.
dipshit
its over emphasised for sure. Actual rest and recovery is just as, if not more, important than simply eating more protein
You can’t recover shit if you don’t give you’re body the right fuel
Stop being intentionally moronic. You don't know what you're talking about. The body will recover given time even if your mutrition is sub-optimal.
The body will NOT recover if you have optimal nutrition but never rest. Please stop posting here you're embarrassing yourself.
Yes, if you go on meth benders and don’t sleep for a week straight until you OD you won’t recover
If you don’t eat until you die of starvation you won’t recover.
Do you just want to take every situation to it’s absolute extreme? You’re a miserable person and when you die no one will notice.
>talk about meth benders
>talk about voluntary starvation
>accuses other of extreme scenarios
you continue to embarrass yourself, weakling
>The body will NOT recover if you have optimal nutrition but never rest.
Illiterate and a homosexual
>Reads a sentence someone wrote.
>Calls that person illiterate
Jesus you must get literally no pussy
Anyone who reads this thread will be able to see how utterly moronic you are.
Bye bye homosexual
homie painting his nails KWAB
I could start explaining why you're an idiot but I don't know where to start. With the amount of research about the effects of protien on recovery and muscle gain and the actual physiological responses to it, being this ignorant is a choice.
Yes, but I think the amount you need is somewhat inflated
how so
Most youtubers say that you need 1g/ lbs of bodyweight. Its not necessary, im around 180 and i eat 100-140 g of protein a day and im making good progress so for me personally its enough is guess.
I started seeing results faster when I upped my protein intake
Depends
on age
genetics
if you're on a deficit you need more
the actual kinds of aminos you're getting
your lean mass
workout frequency higher demands more
how soon after your workout it's eaten
You can realistically make gains with 100g/day if you're at a surplus, under 30, under 5'10, working out 2 twice a week or less and eating the majority of it after working out.
It's not something I would expect to work indefinitely though.
>I think I'm gonna build a house
>What? Building materials? That's not important for my goal
Are you really this moronic OP?
Fit optimal muscle growth, yes. I was gaining muscle and strength pretty good for my for my first 6-8 months but not tracking protien. Upped my intake to a minimum 160 g daily, 50 of which is in the morning, at least 40 for my last meal and another 40 after my work out. The gains have been amazing, recovery time is reduced, energy levels are better. The entire point of the gym is to make gains, but it's only 1/2 of the equation.
Eat more protein and ypu get better results until a plateau where it doesnt make much difference.
You can shove a 100g protein meal in one sitting without problem, the recent studies said the old "you can only digest 30g of protein per meal therefore you must have 8 protein meals a day bro" has been proven wrong. The anabolic window thing doesnt exist either. The diminishing returns of taking protein in the context of muscle building begin at the 1.2 g of protein per kg of body weight per day but the plateau is at about 2g of proteing per kg of bw. Pushing past the 2g is overkill since the difference between 2g and 3g is minuscule, and protein is the most expensive macronutrient
Limiting yourself to 30g a meal is crazy to me, especially when the signal hormones to inducd muscle growth don't even get produced at a significant enough level until you hit like 40-50g in a meal. There was a great study done about it I need to look up, the short of it is to book end your day with the highest protien meals and always have a bunch after your work out.
Or in the craziest terms, listen to your body and eat when you're the hungriest.
This is what bodybuilders of old used to do, its absolutely moronic
Apparently protein takes a shit load of time to digest. The study i was talking about used radioactive markers to basically follow where the protein goes and basically it took 12h for those 100g to be digested completely. There is the tests about nitrogen presence (aminoacids have nitrogen) in urine with different protein intakes and the results where similar for big protein intakes and small ones over time.
Just do it in the way it suits you better, but take the protein
>You can shove a 100g protein meal in one sitting without problem
There's still the matter of your body having no protein storage besides your muscles, so if you OMAD all your protein you will metabolize most of it, burn some for energy then be protein-deficient for a part of your day. True, there's no such thing as upper limit to protein you can have in one meal, but you will still benefit more from spreading your intake across 2-3 meals.
Just eat it when you're hungry. I'm eating 3 meals a day (protien, carb and veg) and 2-3 mostly protien snacks. Shit is working great so far, weight is actually going down and my recovery window is decreasing massively.
I'm also making progress with a non-autistic diet but I'm worried that it's noob gains and I'll have to start eating like a pig when they run out.
imagine if a fricking mammal that can comfortably weigh up to 100kg wasted any protein above 30g consumed in a single meal
actually, you can't fricking imagine it, because you would be extinct if it were true
the problem with this entire “industry” is that it’s an industry. you cannot cut corners with physique even with roids. the “secret” to this shit is understanding that changing your body takes YEARS. end of story. all this hearsay means shit if people dont stick to a routine and diet
Depends on how efficient your liver is. I can drink a 5th a day after not drinking for a while and is why i can gain muscle drinking.
Are you factoring in all the semen you are slurping?
Most people dont eat enough saturated fat which keeps test high. You also probably eat a lot of shitty protein sources like bread and broccoli without realizing. 1lb of beef or chicken is like 80-100g it really isnt easy, but the animal fats carrying nutrients is a huge difference to chicken breast whey and rice.
If i wanted to save money id buy cheap beef for once a day, chicken thighs, whey, carrots, potatoes, baking shit, and greens.
