Hope you're enjoying your weekend! Today's 'Food for Thought' is about protein. It might not apply to our bodybuilder members...that's a whole other ball game🏋️♀️ But it's interesting info to consider🤔 The references are at the bottom but the print is very small. I'd be happy to list them separately, if needed. I plan on looking each one up by the end of the day🌞 Wishing each one here a blessed day. Let's stay focused and strong...and headed toward our goals...but don't forget the FUN factor, as well!!😎😄

Christopher Gardner, a Stanford nutrition researcher, has some funny rants on YouTube about the American obsession with protein. A vital nutrient, yes, but completely possible to get too much. Thanks for posting, CrystalJo! 😃

I’m confused here lol it recommended 25-40% for maintenance and 35-50% for weight loss but said greater than 35% is too much 🤔

You're right....hmmmm 🤔 I guess those references DO need some checking!

Like with any macro, you still need a calorie surplus to gain fat. Protein is the last macro that will turn to fat and will only do so in extreme cases.

Here is how you can convert protein to fat. Eat nothing but protein somehow, idk how this is possible unless you go WAY out of your way to do it, and eat in a calorie surplus. The body would only turn to protein for fat if it lacked the macros that turn to fat easier. Fat is number one by far, then a far second is carbs.
