Protein Intake

There is a lot of false rumors going around when it comes to protein intake to make a muscular physique. It does mot work like eating protein like a wild animal will make your muscles grow.

This is because your body can only process 35-40 gm of protein per diet, rest of it gets rejected,(also depends on lifestyle and exercises). Understanding the most important factor in fat loss can be pretty darn confusing.
–
Some people will tell you just not to eat carbs.
–
Others will say optimize gut health and voila the fat is gone.
–
Still others might say just drink celery juice and magic things happen.
–
Creating a calorie deficit is THE key to losing fat. Consume fewer calories than you expend; it’s that simple (sorta).
–
So, yes, technically you can consume whatever you want and still lose fat. But…you need to make this process enjoyable (somewhat) and sustainable.

On the left, we have a day of eating similar to what I have seen many clients/people in general consume. If 2000 calories puts you in a deficit, then you could certainly eat this way and lose fat. I actually think certain days like this are totally fine and should be included for adherence if you like these foods. However, this way of eating, generally speaking, should be an outlier, not the norm.
–
For the most part, the left:
–
is low protein
–
is low in vitamins and minerals
–
is not filling
–
is low fiber
–
could cause poor digestion
–
would not optimize energy levels
–
would cause workouts to suffer
–
Understanding all of that, we know the types of foods you eat are incredibly important, not just how many calories you are consuming. The right is just an example of better food choices – higher in protein, fiber, nutrients. Basically the opposite of the left. You do NOT have to eat the foods on the right. It is an example only.
–
To lose fat, make sure you are eating roughly 80% whole, healthy foods with vital nutrients to support optimal health. Then, include foods you love (like beef stroganoff) regularly in reasonable quantities to support sustainability and adherence. This is because your body can only process 35-40 gm of protein per diet, rest of it gets rejected,(also depends on lifestyle and exercises).

Hope this guys helped you out a bit.
