How Much Protein Can You Digest Per Meal? (ABSORPTION MYTH)
video description
We are built to survive throughout millions of years of poor and unpredictable food environments-trust the body to utilize everything it can to survive. Hence, in our carb-rich foodaholic world there is so much obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular plaque disease. This really all started with transition from hunter-gatherer living (for millions of years if you also take into account prehominid evolutionary influences) to a more fixed grain-based (bread) agricultural living (several thousand years ago, a mere blink in evolutionary time.
In ancient times, pre-grain, getting hands on carbohydrates (high calorie) such as fruits, etc was quite challenging thoughout Africa into middle-East. We lived off of meats, poultry, fish, root vegetables, etc.
The real issue here, as I see it, is you need to match your protein and caloric intake to the rigor of your workouts; too much protein = excess fat storage, too little = less muscle growth.

You can take in 150g protein in one meal and the body will utilize some and the rest is stored as fat to be used later during a time of famine as in the caveman days OR these days it remains on your belly! That's how humanity did survive and it's called STORAGE! Split your protein intake and just know that your body has a maximum utilization rate and it varies from person to person. I personally eat six 400 calorie meals and none of those calories get stored as fat regardless of what I eat and my blood sugars are far more stable! I've tried the intermittent fasting and blood sugars are extremely high after eating one meal and I put on belly fat NOT to mention I cratered my thyroid function! Not to say that IM is not healthy because it does have a place when you are trying to clean the junk out of the closet so so speak (apoptosis to clear toxins and cellular debris, but doing this daily is absolutely NOT necessary IF you want to maintain optimal thyroid function! Oh, I'm an exercise physiologist and have trained thousands of bodybuilders over the last 27 years and when it comes to experimentation I have done it all.

jeff, i know this was an old video but any suggestions what to do when you-re pre-diabetic? i-ve been diagnosed with pre-diabetic a while back & was told to do exercises & keep my glucose blood low where possible.
about 6 months ago i came a crossed your videos through a yt viewer recommendation & been following & doing your trainings exercises ever since, but as you-ve mentioned with the effects of low blood sugars it makes you tired & dizzy. what-s more i-ve gained hardly any muscles (not that it bothers me) due to my diabetes restrictions on what i eat, my question is how does it work when you have diabetes? can i still intake proteins & carbs as what normal persons would do? (i don-t expect a reply but hey one can only try)

Nutrient timing with the smaller more frequent targeted nutrient feedings where the athlete attempts to feed the body exactly what the body wants when it wants it can speed up anabolic muscle gains by 20-30%.
But it can only increase those gains if daily macros are being met. Athletic people have a tremendous ability to expend nutrients quickly. which inevitably makes the best attempts at precision nutrient timing inadequate.
Therefore. taking the larger meals/ refeeds is critical to baseline maintenance. because it gets the athletes depleted diet back into a position of basic adequacy from which targeted nutrient timing can then optimize from.

i been trying to research this topic all day. I keep hearing 25-30g of protein per 1 1/2 to 2 hours. my breakfast was roughly 66g of protein. Is this still the case being as its almost 2022? this video came out in 2014? is there any new enlightening science? Am i good to go?
For reference my breakfast was 3 fried eggs, 1 avocado, 2 slices Daves Killer Bread, 1 kiwi, 2 cups whole milk, 3 slices of bacon
Comes out to roughly 1130 cal, 66g protein

Cheers for the Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard about - Ponnordaz Impressive Remedy (do a search on google? It is a good exclusive guide for discovering how to pack on solid muscle mass without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend Sam finally got cool results with it.

So to understand what you are saying regardless of the total amount of protein based on the individual. Is it better to eat or consume 5 times or all at once? I'm guessing from my experience 5 times is better than all at once to keep your energy level and feed the muscle do you agree? Thank you I'm just trying to get your point. Peace

Jeff Nippard said that there is not sufficient cientific literature on the topic. Meaning that it's not completely proven that eating your daily protein requirements is just as effective for muscle growth if you do it in one meal, instead of doing it in five.
I'm not sure who's right, but this topic is very interesting.

One meal a day is how I balance my energy level the best. If I eat more than once, I need to take naps. I dont need to if I eat in a 4 hour window each day. (i'll eat supper, wait a few hours, work out then protein shake. that's it for the day.
