So everybody knows the benefit of protein especially for muscles. But let's talk about protein suplements in sports. I think it's clear that (especially in bodybuilding/fitness) protein is suplemented in an high amount that would be difficult to eat everyday....
"Most people should consume 25-35 grams of fiber and 46-56 grams of protein each day." This is fine and all but that is an very low amount of protein for someone who is an athlete. I've looked for some standard of protein-to-fiber...

In the nutrition world this seems to be a polorising issue, that I have found to be simplified into two types of thought. 1.We only need around 15% of our daily intake to be protein or less (Dr Collin Campbell,...

My SO isn't a fan of the texture of things like almonds, walnuts, etc. These things as nut butters still don't solve the problem. What are some good ideas nutritionally speaking that would help fill the void that nuts provide?
Almost anyone I ask will tell me the same thing: eating dirty will cause increase in body fat or clean eating will prevent any increase in body fat. I thought that increase in body fat was purely a result of eating...
My current understanding of autophagy is that it is triggered by lack of amino acids - cells must scavenge unused structures for building material in the form of amino acids. People living in Blue Zones (areas where people routinely live longer...

For weight loss, I understand because you’re consuming 0 calories from them. But for autophagy, aren’t you still making your stomach work from digesting and thus your body is inhibited in restoring cells?
Why is calorie surplus needed for muscle gain? Is this essential? Isn't eating a balanced CH / protein ratio enough? Thanks in advance!

Not something I plan to do. Just curious if it’s sustainable to get as much as you need without actually eating.
I'm interested to hear your arguments against following a plant-based (plant-forward) diet. I don't mean vegan or vegetarian, but essentially an omnivore diet that's centered on whole plant foods (whole-food plant-based, WFPB) and sometimes adds animal-based and ultraprocessed foods. I'm surprised...
