It’s no longer just the longevity bros and fitness fiends obsessing over their protein intake. So what does the science actually say about protein consumption? How much do you need, and what’s the best way to get it? In today’s episode, Marty takes our own in-house world-renowned protein expert Stuart Phillips through the math behind the macros.
In this episode Stu and Marty discuss:
* Stu says why the old guideline of 0.8 g/kg body weight wasn’t enough
* Does the benefit of protein hit a hard plateau at 1.6 g per kg per day?
* How much protein do you need if you want to stay strong as you get older?
* How much protein do you need if you want to lose weight but hold on to muscle?What’s better, vegan or animal protein?
