A Lazy Protein Guide

  • After some Flashdance talk, Vinnie and Anna welcome their guest, actress Sarah Baker. (11:45)
  • Sarah’s question is what is the 'lazy' way to get more protein into each day. (14:00)
  • It’s better to eat protein at each of the three meals each day rather than cram it into one or two.
    • Stay away from hemp and pea proteins. The best protein is whey protein. (20:00)
    • There are three types of whey: standard, concentrate, and isolates.
    • Vinnie recommends either the standard or the concentrate; isolates are bastardized because they are more highly processed.
  • Casein protein also has a good amino acid profile. (26:00)
  • What is the difference between bovine protein, collagen, marine collagen, etc.? (30:00)
  • Plant-based proteins are not effective. (38:00)
  • Colostrum is the first milk a mother provides naturally. (41:00)
    • Please be aware of claims that say colostrum for adults has benefits.
  • Vinnie hates diet culture and the push to record macros all day, every day. (50:00
  • How do you calculate how much protein you need? (59:00)
    • Getting between .6g and 1g per pound of lean body mass should be enough.
    • Be careful around the gym bros — they don't always give good advice.
  • They finish with a talk about their favorite music and concerts.
