Welcome to another weekend short of The Matter Over Mind Experience
I am your host, Master Trainer & Weight Management Expert, Narado Zeco Powell
This weekend, I will quickly explain low protein diet & it’s connection to weight-loss & weight-gain
Let’s begin
One of the biggest mistakes we make on our weight management journey is we do not eat enough protein
Protein is made up of amino acids that are vital for muscle strength, performance, recovery & size
Remember that lean muscle has a direct impact on the health of your metabolism
Building lean muscle is the best approach for sustainable fat-loss
To accomplish this the body uses the protein for muscle protein synthesis
In order to build lean muscle your body needs a positive net protein balance once it goes through this process
That’s why the more you train, the more protein you need
In addition, you can supplement with essential aminos & creatine
My general advice is that you should eat 1 gram of protein per pound of goal body weight
For example, if your goal is 160lbs then you should eat at least 160 grams of protein
Now you may even have to increase this based on metabolism flexibility & amount of training
For example, I weigh 170lbs and train 7 days per week.
In any given day, I eat 200-250 grams of protein & I supplement with EAAs from AminoCo
Consider adjusting your protein & supplementation protocol
Enjoy your weekend fam!
