383: The Science Of Weight Loss- Calories, Macros & Meal Frequency Explained (Researched Based)

DM "FAT LOSS "To @ColossusFit for Online Coaching - 3 spots Today we're going to be talking about and going over the nutritional hierarchy of fat loss giving you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. 1- Energy Balance/Calories 2- Macronutrients Protein= Most important and absolutely cannot be overlooked. *The amount of calories you consume from carbs/fats makes VERY little difference when calories/protein are being focused on. Carbs= provides body with the energy it needs. Fats= value-able at increasing testosterone levels and other hormones 3- Micronutrients 4- Meal timing or frequency *Once everything else is dialed in, could be good to focus on this factor. -You want to maximize your ability to build muscle to the fullest, so somewhere between 2-3g leucine is ideal, so approx 25-40g per protein for serving. -Leucine is the most powerful amino acid. There is a certain threshold of leucine that must be reached before your body can start protein synthesis. -Splitting evenly thoughout day is beneficial vs. spreading it out like 10-15-15-10, etc. OR all at once in 1 meal. -Carbs around training not necessarily beneficial. Some people feel better, and some people don't. Everyone is different and each person is different. -Ask yourself how do you feel when you train? 5- Supplements -Really not important compared to first 3 pillars -Creatine monohydrate, protein(if needed), caffeine.
