The Best Protein Intake | Managing Macros With Eric Helms 

To convert to pounds. Divide by 2.2: 1.8 - 2.3 kg/lb = 0.80 - 1.05 g / lb 2.3 - 2.8 kg/lb = 1.05 - 1.27 g/lb This is based on lean body mass. So if you weigh, say 170 and are 20 percent bodyfat, that's 34 pounds of fat, so 136 pounds of lean body mass: Your Maintenance or Surplus: 109-143 g Your Deficit: 143-172

Eric helms, one of the smartest of fitness so much backed science info

I just discovered you today. Thank you for educating and sharing the knowledge!🙏🏼

Another great informative video as always. Thanks

Well explained I think these bitesize videos of information will help those who are less in understanding of diet , exercise and adherence as its science but not in a confusing manner

Very good video. I've been having to go higher on protein & fats on my bulk because, surprisingly, I am having a hard time hitting carb macro. It's funny because during my cut I couldn't wait to up the carbs but now I it takes me forever to get through meals due to being full before I even sit down to eat. Sleep is also lacking because stomach pain is keeping me up all night, idk if it's just my stomach trying to expand for higher cal intake or what. I've also resorted to getting in liquid cals thru milk etc., sticking to only solid foods helped me greatly when losing weight, but I'm having hard time getting in the cals. Your bulking video helped greatly as well.

So if I have higher bodyfat, let's say 20% and I'm still on caloric surplus I'm probably ok on the lower end of that spectrum, or I could estimate my LBM and use the recommendation for that which would be even lower?

Fuck, this is of such great quality content why don't you have more subs/views

Thank you for this great info. I would like to ask 2 questions: 1) In the video, terms like "Contest" is mentioned. However, I am just a regular person who tries to build muscle OR burn fat. Do these calculations valid for me as well? 2) It is mentioned that a person will lose Lean Body Mass, if he/she loses Body Weight at a very fast pace. What is the definition of "very fast pace"?

What about protein timing (pre,post workout and pre sleep protein ) ??

My digestive system doesn't breakdown protein which means any intake of protein (from any source) leads to stomach aches, uncomfortable intestinal gas production, smelly farts and sometimes diarrhea. I feel there are many who have this to some degree so before u start increasing ur protein intake, make sure u are able to properly digest it.

wow

What about cancer risk? There are tons of documentaries and studies and recommendations from health agencies that directly correlate cancer with high protein intake.

What would be the figures in pounds, instead of kilograms?

how come these protein intakes are not too high?
