How Much Protein Is Enough?
- High protein is good, but by how much? (3:30)
- It depends on how active you are and your lean body mass; Vinnie shares some guidelines.
- And yes, you can gain fat if you eat too much protein.
- Vinnie recently started measuring his protein intake and realized he wasn’t getting as much as he thought. (13:00)
- It was easy to find more ways to increase protein intake.
- Are protein powders worth the cost? (17:00)
- There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, but Vinnie recommends using it sparingly, except in specific instances.
- There are a lot that are bastardized; also, only use unflavored ones.
- There was a recent study that discusses contaminants found in many protein powders. (20:00)
- Overeating protein will cause the body to store a certain percentage of the excess as fat. (21:00)
- Vinnie doesn’t believe in a rigid window for eating protein after a workout. (27:00)
- When you eat whole animal protein, you will feel more satisfied. (32:00)
- Protein powder by itself doesn’t have the fats, vitamins, or minerals that whole foods do.
- Training women in perimenopause and menopause is a newer trend. Women are getting back into the gym to get stronger and fight menopausal symptoms. (37:00)
- Gyms as a “third space”: is it a good idea? (42:00)
