This is a YouTube video titled "Do Yourself A Metabolic Favor" containing a health and nutrition talk recorded on October 19, 2023. The speaker provides detailed advice on dietary protein intake, especially for mid-life and older women, emphasizing the importance of protein for muscle preservation and metabolic health.
The lower your total calories, the higher you must prioritize dietary protein. If you are post-menopausal if you are in your 60s, in your 70s, many of you out there are not eating a ton of calories. You must increase dietary protein. This is the way you will protect your muscle. This is the way you prioritize nutrient density. Nutrients per calories. Let's say you were a mid-life woman who just wanted to lose body fat. Then I would have you do three meals a day. Let's regulate your blood sugar. Your first meal is going to be 30 grams of protein. Your second meal is going to have 30 grams of protein, and your last meal is going to have 30 grams of protein. I'm going to have you eat your protein first and prioritize high quality protein. What does that mean? It could come in the form of a whey protein shake. It could come in the form of eggs for breakfast, turkey, salmon. Because the utilization of protein is significant for the body, primarily for the muscle, especially when you're eating that 30 grams of dietary protein, you've now done yourself a metabolic favor.
