25g VS 100g of Protein After Exercise for Muscle Growth (new study!)
For years, it was believed that consuming more than 20-30 grams of protein post workout was useless and wasteful. However, this …

Theres a study out there somewhere that can prove anything you want.
This is great news I always noticed I was gtn bigger when I was over doing my protein intake thinking I’m not taking enough protein
Its safe and effective to 4X our previous knowledge of protein intake per meal. Clinical test sponsored by Protein supplement possibly?
this makes sense – there are plenty of mammals which consume far more than 30g per day (or g/kg equivalent)
Just eat more fish.
This MF with the big gut after eating! LMAO 😂
Why are literally every brand serving is 25-30gm per serving, the vendors have done thier own research, so one YT video is not going to change my thoughts on this 100%, but it doesn't mean I didn't open my mind more so, now
Uh
Slow digesting protein is a thing. Consuming a slow digesting 100g all at once will have very little impact compared to a smaller amount broken up into small meals.
Bodybuilding pros get gains from 6 meals because it initiates a insulin response which forces growth.
Your body will discard what it doesn't need
Great job. Super informative.
Yeah, you can't digest 100g of protein, especially in liquid form. You only digest about 35 grams.
More than about .85 g per pound per day raises ammonia levels and above 1.00. 100% of additional protein yields ammonia. Ammonia negative affects health and performance in particular. So there are negative issues at above about 170 grams for a 200 pound man and NO positive issues above 200.
Corresponds to my experience; I didn’t really experience substantial growth until I started adding post-workout protein supplementation in excess of 150 grams
Lies, Damned Lies, and Medical studies.
The recommended protein intake per day for the average person is F 60 and M 75. 100g of protein in one hit will stress your kidneys too much.
“the anabolic response to protein ingestion appears to have no apparent upper limit in both magnitude and duration” they should show the effect on the kidneys
I'm a hard gainer thanks for the info. Very helpful.
Very interesting info the human body is very complex and will get the nutrients it needs as long as you are eating them!
More bullshit
It's always important to note who funded the research. Is it a group of protein companies or not. In the 70s cereal companies had fund research to bias towards the good effects of intake of cereals, oats. Obviously if companies are funding something data can be manipulated and common man is not going to verify it.
Be careful tho, excessive protein intake puts stress on kidneys. I still believe 30 gram per meal is the way to go. So we don't over stress the kidneys.
Thanks for always showing the research papers in your videos
I've never taken less than 40g of protein per meal. In fact, I've made gains while intermittent fasting on an 16/8 split where I ate a huge dinner with about 100 grams of protein. This was definitely utilized.
The Blue guy is super funny
I put 3 scoops protein (of 30g) into 600ml milk and drink it together with 6 eggs, 200g chicken fillet and 500g greek yoghurt.
= My total protein intake in this one meal is about 130g and is about 1300/1400 calories. I fast OMAD (one meal a day) every other day and fast 72 hrs every month for health benefits. My body loves it
The acting by blue guy is next level. Love it. lol
1) This study is one of few if not the only one reporting this. You can't just trust 1 study.
2) It only claims protein ceiling is higher in your post-workout meal, not in meals in general
BUT is the extra protein hard on your kidneys? Are their disadvantages to the higher protein than traditional protein amounts?
Intuitively makes sense ie unlikely evolution would have resulted in 25g cap when considering feast or famine situations encountered by early man …
I'll give it a try for the rest of this year to see what happens. I hate eating in general. Tired of stuffing myself all day to get my protein in. Gonna drop 100g of P after working out and a couple hours before bed.
I’m 54, sub 12%bf, 5-11, 190lbs and consume 100-120g protein and 1,000 calories twice a day while on 2MAD. I have no gastro or issues with my labs whatsoever. Been doing this for the past year and the previous 18 months was on carnivore. My main macros are still 50-55% protein.
This is a couple months old news but definitely makes protein timing so much easier now.
I did great with 20/30 grams of protein. Often, there were times when i just drank a jug of chocolate milk.
Blue guy so funny
Okay.. so first it says there are no diminishing returns when you increase protein intake and then it says that 400% more protein (100g vs 25g) gives you 20-40% more of the desired effect from the protein synthesis…
Wtf those are huge diminishing returns lol.
The moment it said there is no difference in insulin with 25 or 100 grams consumed I made up my mind, this study is bs. You can (I have) test this yourself and that statement was dumb af.
For context, I eat only two meals a day so I'm not against the study, it just doesn't add up.
Hell yeah… nobody wants to be spending time eating all day
I call BS, but good study if you sell supplements
Good to know. Whole food is the way to go. My coach only has me on one post workout protein powder meal (Nutrex Isofit 50g) every training day in the rebound phases. For contest prep it's all whole foods 6 meals a day. Off training days are all whole food no powders. Protein sources: egg whites, whole eggs, chicken, 96/4 beef, shrimp, cod or Orange roughy. Carbs are: cream of rice from Pride Foods- Rice and Grinds (use code SIMMS for 10% off), jasmine rice, Thomas bagels, Chex cereal, and sourdough bread.
This is NOT shocking. The history of medical recommendations versus clinical research in most fields show that “experts” very often get it wrong. The human body is complex, and to think that just because someone knows about a few metabolic pathways that they can make prognostications is foolhardy. As good scientists say to those they train, “just do the experiments.” Even the good parts of the FDA say this; “we don’t care about your logic, just show us that data prove it.”
My method is this sense loooong time… Eat max 2 times per day for years 😊😊😊
None of this has any real science behind it, only self advocacy studies to sell more worthless products.
Bring back Build Up!
Been doing it this way for few years. Also slept well. Didn't need steroids.
I def do not get enough protein.
Protien powder and groceries are too damn expensive to be pissing an extra 75 grams away every workout
the studies are nonsense!
Nobody know what their doing
