Once upon a time, I was stuck in a rut.
Despite training 5 to 6 days per week, my weight wouldn\u2019t budge\u2026I couldn\u2019t get stronger\u2026and I hadn\u2019t built any muscle to speak of in years.
What is an aspiring little \u201cshredder\u201d to do?
Well, I consulted the prestigious annals of broscience and quickly found the answer:
Eat more protein. A metric f$%# ton, to be exact.
\xa0
And so the great protein gluttony began.
I double-scooped my protein shakes. I ate over a pound of meat per day. I popped hardboiled eggs like they were candy.
I was a good little bodybuilder\u2026 with (thankfully) good little kidneys. Thanks mom! (Just kidding\u2013high-protein diets aren\u2019t bad for your kidneys.)
Well, after a year of eating 400+ grams of protein per day\u2026 I had to face the facts.
It wasn\u2019t working.
Despite all the gorging, I looked and weighed more or less the same and I was lifting more or less the same weights.
Nothing had changed, really.
Well\u2026fool me once, shame on\u2026 shame on you. Fool me\u2026you can\u2019t get fooled again!
To my credit, I got wise, dramatically changed course with my diet and training, and finally escaped the crater of mediocrity. And along the way, I learned \u201clittle things\u201d like how much protein to eat every day.
And here\u2019s the long story short:
You don\u2019t have to stuff yourself silly with protein to build muscle or lose fat, but you might have to eat more\u2013or less\u2013than you think.
And in this episode, I\u2019m going to break it all down for you. By the end, you\u2019re going to know exactly how much protein you need to eat every day based on your goals and why.
Let\u2019s get started.
