Should I Have Protein After A Workout? #QuckTipEpisode
In this video, I address if it's important to have protein after a workout?
Studies show that it may not be a resounding yes, but there are definitely more benefits of getting enough protein then there is of not getting enough protein.
For example, according to an article on Pudmed, it is only important to have protein if you haven't eaten in 5-6 hours either before or after. If you have, then it won't make things worse but, probably won't make them better either.
However, the biggest issue is not having enough protein in your diet.
How much #protein should I have?
The RDA for protein right not is 0.8 g/kg/day and this is WAY TOO LOW!
According to multiple new studies, having upwards of 2.2 g/kg/day is way better for our bodies especially athletes and elderly.
