Protein, protein – protein sources versus Supplements<\/h3>\n

One of the single most surprising tenancies in the gym world involves your love of protein.<\/p>\n

If you’re reading this, you care about your habits, eating and your nutrition & fitness.<\/p>\n

Thus, you’ve been exposed to protein supplements inside the gym or outside at Whole Body, bodybuilding.com or the infinite retailers of the omnipresent powder.<\/p>\n

You may have drank some yourself.<\/p>\n

Again it’s surprising to see the faces of the completely different inquirers of protein powder ask me, “just how much…”. These different people ran the range including the super strong and powerful, the meeker lean-built, the septuagenarians, the hi-level all-time athletes, the vegetarians – it looks like all of you are protein-hunters.<\/p>\n

As you should be!<\/p>\n

If you workout, if you train and you crave goals, you must eat protein.<\/p>\n

As an easy rule you can use today<\/em>, remember to cover two-thirds of your plate with protein versus one-third complex carbs, after a lifting-heavy training day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have even been “questioned” as to why I would “promote” supplements as a coach.<\/a><\/p>\n

The answer is simple: literally every type of exerciser needs it, and thus has been exposed to it.<\/p>\n

There simply is no questioning this. Anyone who spends their weeks in the gym knows this.<\/p>\n

Why not help people get the best protein IF and only IF they know for certain you’ll take supplement.\u00a0I am not here to slap your hand away or crush your ideas.<\/p>\n

But, before you jump into the supplement isle and hunt down the perfect tub, we have to ask a more fundamental question.<\/p>\n

Do you even need protein supplements?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meaning: is it more possible and easier to track down your 90 – 180 ish grams per day through other protein sources like whole foods. Those foods which measure as the best protein sources on the planet like the big 3.<\/p>\n

\n
• Meat<\/li>\n
• Yogurt<\/li>\n
• Eggs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Mostly, you should be actively denying yourself protein supplements and sticking with whole food protein sources!<\/h5>\n

  Really.I know so many different people who train with me who partake.<\/p>\n

  And, seriously-speaking, most should not even waste their money.<\/p>\n

  Because, there are 3 qualifying features of the protein lovers and supplement drinkers.<\/p>\n

  1. Your goals matter<\/strong>
  \n2. Your efficacy with eating patterns<\/strong>
  \n3. Your budget<\/strong><\/p>\n

  These are some of the delineating factors. But there are quite a few more as we’ll learn in the course.<\/a><\/p>\n

  For now, understand that you’re not the only one.<\/p>\n

  My trainees: men and women, old and young, hard and soft-core seemingly want to take down protein supplements.<\/p>\n

  So let’s break it down.<\/p>\n
