The Worst Nutrition Mistakes Every Lifter Makes
video description
Thanks!
Edit: The video pretty much answered what I already knew. I really am gonna have to add back in regimented nutrition. I find that to get the proper intake, I need to be disciplined and eat significantly more than I normally would. But that is what it takes!

Honestly, mistake #2 is what kept me away from BCAA's and most pre-workouts beyond some caffeine-consumption, and when I started using both I both:
1. Immediately had a much easier time with previously difficult weights (my pre-workout essentially, somehow, increasing my strength significantly beyond what caffeine did.
2. Rapid recovery, less fatigue. Making me more active throughout the day and much less prone to skip a workout.
That is to say, for me, the combination of BCAA's + pre-workout was a silver bullet to me. I'm not even sure exactly why - I've got no studies to back it up, this comes only from the most important lesson of all: Figure out what works for yourself and don't follow general advice blindly, feel free to try things out, but be aware of and take into account the expected risks and results, and weigh them up with your long-term goals.

I've started using Macrofactor thanks to hearing about it on an older video of yours and it has REALLY helped make the process of tracking meals manageable. I had never counted calories or macros before and always thought I would hate it so much that I'd throw in the towel after a week, but this app makes it so easy. I love that MF actually calculates my targets for me so that the guesswork is removed and I know I'm eating the right amount to achieve my goals. If anybody's on the fence, I'd 100% recommend signing up for the trial period and seeing if it works for you. And I'm not a part-owner of the app lol, I just love it: D

One mistake I d add is that fasted workouts don t actually cause more bodyfat/weight loss. While it may cause a bit more fat than glycogen to be used as the energy source for the workout, you re not actually burning more or less calories as a result, nor are you burning off any additional body fat. I d actually argue that you ll probably have less energy going into the workout when fasted, which can lead to a less intense & therefore less productive training session than if you properly fueled your workout beforehand.

id add in one more, thinking it's safe to continue your normal style of training while cutting/crash dieting.
I made this mistake twice, both times i ended up getting heat stroke, puking in the trash can in my gym, with the staff wondering if they should call paramedics.
Never go to the gym dehydrated or underfed, have the bare minimum of at least a bananna or a protein bar before training, your welcome in advanced.

This is the first Jeff Nippard video I ve watched in a while, and I ve been back in the gym because I turned into a bit of a chubby lad. Hit nearly 100kg in September, dropped to 90kg by December. Put 6kg back on over the holiday period, and now I m sitting at 85kg. All of the loss occurred when I tracked my macros using MacroFactor. Sweet to know you re a part owner glad my money s going to the right places

9: 00 i think there are still gaps here. what's the latest on protein's half life of effectiveness in muscle hypertrophy? Conventional wisdom was that protein consumption should occur throughout the day (i. e, 5-6 meals of 25-30g of protein each) as the body has no ability to store excess protein, thus you excrete it out via the kidneys and effectively lose your '1g of protein per lb' intake

What is the definition of a meal tho? A feeding? E. g: When i eat 3 normal meals a day, (like chicken/fish, rice and vegetables, would a 4th or 5th meal, which contains a proteinshake, dried fruits, rice crackers or whatever also be considred as a normal meal? But I guess it doesnt really matter if you call it a snack or meal right, as long as you meat your caloric goals.

Personally, I really don't like caffeine. It gives me a lot of anxiety. I wake up without an alarm and head off to the gym early in the morning. If I needed caffeine to do that, then I didn't sleep enough to actually gain muscle from the day before.
For people with tighter schedules, it's great I'm sure. I personally just don't like it.

You guys should listen to your own gut in terms of protein. Like i weigh at around 175lbs so should I eat 175g of protein? Probably but when i eat that amount of protein i feel like shit. So i cut it down to 100-120gm and fill up the rest calories with carbs and fats & trust me I feel a lot better with this approach and I've not any muscle either

IS DIETING DOWN typically harder on joints?
i just started a few weeks ago and almost immediately my sh joints and lower back started acting up
im currently doing about 13cals per lean lb of bodyweight, it doesnt feel that restrictive but definitely need portion control and its working at about 1lb per week loss.

If you eat below recommended protein, you will gain muscle slower. So are you completely wasting those gains?
Is it like getting a check cleared for a building project but not having enough supplies to finish the job, so they say, alright that's all we can do for the day, pocket the money stop the job and move on.

Jeff I ve never commented! You are incredible! Give me about out if you can! This new wave of deeply science based workouts for hypertrophy have greatly aided by recovery from a recent stint of Rheumatoid arthritis flare up that resulting in a lot of muscle wasting and bone degeneration in one leg. Thank you so much!

Heyo, could you include some numbers and tips for people who are struggling to gain weight in future videos? You always focus heavely on people trying to loose weight, which I appreciate because its a bigger topic for many people, but you rarely talk about how much one should eat to gain weigth.
