How Much Protein? - Show Me the Whey
How much protein should you consume daily, especially as a lifter looking to get stronger and add muscle?
The often repeated mantra is 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight. This is certainly doable, but it's a lot and forces many to turn to whey & protein shakes to meet this threshold.
But is this really necessary?
Better data suggest 1g per pound of lean bodyweight is more than sufficient, and really 0.8g-1.2g per kg bodyweight is just fine.
Like many other things, use some common sense. Are you always sore or achy? You're probably not eating enough protein. Do you have lean protein options at most if not all of your meals? Then you're probably consuming enough.
Protein Without Whey Dependence
Admit it, whey protein isn't really satisfying. It doesn't lead to satiety and large amounts can cause gassiness or even worse digestive issues. If you can consume enough protein from your everyday meals, you should (and you can).
Focus on whole food options and think about each meal and snack. Are some of your go-to snacks or meals lacking protein - see if you can bump up that protein.
Andrew tries to prioritize protein in breakfast, lunch, and his snack so that he has more flexibility at dinner. This way, he's not worried about not having enough protein at dinner or feeling guilty.
Having convenient protein options on hand really helps. Greek yogurt is a great option. Eggs and egg whites are quick and easy to cook.
Prepping protein in large amounts so you can add that to some starchy carbs, veggies, or a salad helps remove the need to take the time to cook protein during busier days.

| 0:00.0 | Hey listeners, this is normally when we would talk about holiday sale or how |
| 0:07.4 | now is the right time to start with online coaching because of how much money |
| 0:10.5 | you can save. However, as I met with our marketing team earlier this month to |
| 0:14.8 | discuss promotional ideas, we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes |
| 0:19.3 | for people who want to work with a coach. And that called to mind how many of |
| 0:23.1 | our clients got into this for the form corrections and ended up making real |
| 0:27.8 | life transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal |
| 0:31.9 | barbell logic client is not afraid of hard work. They don't just have goals, they |
| 0:36.5 | are driven by continual self-improvement. They pursue strength because they |
| 0:40.7 | care deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. We know that |
| 0:45.6 | price is always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for |
| 0:48.9 | something. But our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully |
| 0:53.0 | deciding where to invest their money, they're also very intentional about how they |
| 0:57.3 | invest their time. And when you care about your time that much, there is fear that |
| 1:01.8 | you could waste your time and not see the results you want. If any of this |
| 1:05.6 | sounds like you, I'm here to make you a promise. You give us six months of two to |
| 1:10.6 | four workouts a week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, we |
| 1:14.8 | will give you all of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case |
| 1:19.3 | scenario is it ends up costing you nothing. The best case scenario is you invest |
| 1:24.1 | in yourself and you get exactly what you want out of your training. The only |
| 1:28.0 | risk is about on yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where |
| 1:32.4 | your goals are. Get matched with your coach now at barbelllogic.com slash coaching. |
