Anti nutrients

Hi.

I hear a lot about anti nutrients and want to make sure that I get as much from my diet as possible. Is there a time you should allow between eating something known to have anti nutrients follows by something like beef or liver to get the full amount on nutrition from the food. I generally try to leave an hour between having a coffee before then having breakfast which is usually eggs with beef.

 

Purpose of negative menopause symptoms?

I could listen to your podcast every day, in fact you are the ONLY podcast I have set to automatically download every time, and I listen to a lot of podcasts. Can you guys just talk for a couple hours?? K Thanks.

My question... as my 45th year around the sun approaches, I am very much not looking forward to the negative symptoms of pre-menopause and menopause. Seems every person during these times has one or many negative side effects. So, why would this be, evolutionarily?? What's the point in women feeling like shit for years? Just nature telling women they are past their usefulness?? Thoughts?

Thank you for all you guys do!!

 

Eat too little or too late

What's your opinion on eating too little protein per day or eating it too late?

Outside of some injuries I'm still working through from a getting hit by a car while on my bicycle 16 months ago, things are going well: stable weight at 170#, feel good, ~11% body fat, 23 BMI. I'm 47, eat paleo plus high-fat dairy, and resistance train, zone 2, or similar all week. My goal is to maintain or gain muscle so I can keep playing with my kids and/or get back up if I get into another accident. I aim for 1 g of protein per pound of bodyweight everyday, split into three servings at least 2 hours apart. I try to eat my last meal of the day at least 2 hours before I'm asleep.

A couple of times a month, due to work or play, I'll miss or forget meals and find myself with only two hours before bed and still ~110 g of protein to eat. How you would rank 1) eating all 110 grams at once, 2) eating only 60 g (assuming that's about the max I'm going to be able to absorb), 3) eating another meal in two hours right before going to sleep, or 4) eating an additional protein serving the next day?

Additional info:

- I tend to lose weight pretty rapidly when I travel and don't get my regular protein and resistance training.

- Prior to the accident I was eating one meal a day, which is why it's so easy for me to forget meals. Weight was stable if a little lower than now, and it was difficult to gain any weight.

- I've been choosing 3) eating another meal in two hours right before going to sleep -- interested in what you would choose!

Thanks,

Eric
