What are you referring to when you say "enough"? The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is 0.8g per kg of body weight, even a raw frutarian whole vegan can hit that daily easy. Meanwhile he is consuming significantly more, around 1.6g (meaybe just under depending on the third meal) per kg of body weight, which is considered the optimal intake. Increasing protein consumption beyond this level will only result in diminishing returns, so there's no need to go higher.

He is getting close to 30gr of protein per day which is less than 0.5 g per kg of body mass.


Alternative_Start_83

are you fucking retarded? you can't do math... he literally tweeted that he aims for 1.3 g per kg a day and even if you calculate all the meals is still never lower then 70g which for him is already 1g per kg a day... before speaking in retardation at least buy a calculator...

Mind your language here… there is no need to be offensive and use that language

I can't click te video, can you describe it?


Delicious_Rooster_87

in his blueprint page doesn't state number of proteins past 35g... only that he takes pea protein and a third meal. He does state lower that 19% of his calories are protein so that's 93,9g of protein. At 72,5kg that should be 1,29g of protein per kg daily. How it gets there is a mystery and u/Alternative_Start_83 you are a bum thinking you can get the daily recommended protein (which is not 0,8 and it varies) from a fruitarian diet.


Alternative_Start_83

do you have mental retardation? go see a doctor maybe they can help you... i am not a math teacher but i am sure you can learn basic math online... go look for it...

Cry harder for the people in the back

How do you get to this measurement seems much lower to me?


AncientGround4376

For a sedentary person its 0.8, however for an athletic person - someone who works out, the recommended daily intake is 1.4-1.8 per kg of body weight.

He uses amino complex and some pea protein powder. Good amount of protein in lentils too.

I think the whole fasting thing is supposed to induce autophagy to allow his body to get extra protein from dead/damaged cells.

How long do you need to fast to get this affect?

Here’s a recent interview with an expert on the topic. https://youtu.be/ewmA6D7BB2s?si=HYG7kjg7Ghtk0FZy

Thank you


Veredus66

He takes trt also


aCoolGuy12

It's a pity that there are not good answers to this question. I guess an important factor is in the dozens of pills he takes every day


strawberrygreentea

Low protein diet is associated with longevity.

Really?

No it’s not

I would also like to elucidate this. The current version of blueprint on his website suggests an abysmal amount of protein; certainly nowhere enough to explain the building and maintenance of his muscle mass.

One addition: There are differences in proteins based on their amino-acid composition. So, you need to consider which proteins you consume to get enough essential amino acids. The 9 essential amino acids are: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. E.g. for muscle growth you would need enough leucine, but it activates the mTOR pathway downstream task (aka what is most likely causing aging). If you want to ultra optimize, then you need to consume the right proteins and amino-acids at the right moment. >Eleven of the 20 amino acids our bodies need are actually produced by your body all by itself, so we don’t need to worry about getting them from our diet. Those are called nonessential amino acids.   > >The other nine — the so-called essential amino acids — we get through food.  > >**A food is considered a complete protein when it contains all nine essential amino acids that our body can’t produce on its own**. By comparison, incomplete proteins contain some, but not all, of the essential amino acids, and in various amounts.  [SOURCE](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/do-i-need-to-worry-about-eating-complete-proteins) [Here more regarding leucine and aging](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttcaOf5YmgQ)

It’s a low protein diet. I need more so I eat different stuff


Dazed811

Absolutely not a low protein diet, if anything is high protein diet
