Protein- what's your daily intake?

[MFB]

Yeah, it's definitely crossed my mind to speak with a nutritionist/specialist/trainer etc, and the fact that you repped Papa Jeff means I'm in good company for sure. I've watched his stuff for a while, probably so long that I've forgotten the earlier stuff that I now need to pay attention to.

Old school whey or casein etc - no doubt, esp your typical vanilla/chocolate flavors. Hydro whey dissolves in water kinda like how creatine/sugar does - totally diff beast.
Unflavored kind is barely noticeable in water so you can just drink it throughout the day instead of water. Probably too much off the deep end but in terms of actually digesting the protein you're taking - non-hydrolized kinds can benefit quite a bit from getting mixed with insulin-spiking liquid like milk. Hydro is super easy to digest, no need for milk which makes it perfect for cutting.

To each it's own though, tastes/goals etc obv differ.

Oh, interesting, I figured they all came in the same sort of variety, I didn't realize hydro-whey would be so different but I guess given HYDRO being in the name should be at least a hint. I'll give it a look then and see

ah yess, milk proteins DO mix with other milk proteins. So insightful

And they combine to form a protein.

I am switching things up a bit.
Got some hydrolyzed whey which does not bring the BL0ATZ. So morning workouts are heaping scoop of pure milk/egg and scoop of hydrolyzed whey mixed with water. Just digests normally and no dairy sugars to make me tired.
Evenings I do the heaping scoop of milk/egg stuff, and a big scoop of just regular casien with MILK. Its a bomb and that casein is THICCCC in the mix but I'm not expelling it out the other side in haste so I call it a win.
Feeling like I'm recovering much faster. Also other proteins during the day as part of meals where I get it. It seems there's a bunch of calcium coming along with these supplements so that helps the bones or something.

Some recent findings suggest that we need way less protein than we think we do to build and maintain muscle. Recent meta-analyses support the idea that anything above 0.7g per lbs of bodyweight is likely a waste of time.

One of the things that people also tend to ignore is the fact that these figures being cited are the upper limit at which any increase in protein is likely to be ineffective in building or maintain muscle. It's not the minimum effective dose. Unfortunately a lot of people in the fitness industry make it sound like anything below 1g/lbs means you are essentially going to lose muscle or waste your time in the gym.

Anecdotally, my gym buddy got jaw surgery a couple of years back and couldn't eat solid foods for about 6 months. He kept working out, but had to drastically cut his protein intake to the point where he was getting less than 100g a day most days. By the time he could start eating solids again he was at sub 10% bodyfat and he actually gained a marginal amount of muscle.
