It's time to learn Friday:
1) Your body can ABSORB lots of protein! (20-30g is NOT a limit)
2) Your body only has a LIMITED capacity to STORE/USE protein
3) The major use of protein is NOT for muscle (at best it's about 25%)
4) ALL protein-containing tissues turnover protein*

Lift heavy if you like to! But the research shows us that light(er) loads get the job done just as well! Great thread from one of the best in the business here:

Lifting light(er) weights, a 🧵

After posting something about light(er) weights in promoting muscle mass and strength gains, it's always interesting to read the emails I get. They range from, thank you, this is so liberating to read, it hurts when I lift heavy, and I never knew

No diet will replace the benefits of exercise.
Exercise and diet are not mutually exclusive.
Don’t blame the potato for what the chips did to you.
You can’t outdiet frailty.
Protein won’t harm the bones or kidneys.

What other triggers can we list?

Do you need to lose weight? Or do you need to get healthier? The two are not the same:

Thinness does not equate to health. Thinness does not equate to health. Thinness does not equate to health.

"I was healthy & overweight thinking I needed to be healthy and thin. This led to me becoming thin but unhealthy, developing disordered eating, weight cycling, and here I am now unhealthy and overweight." Patients are teachers we can all learn from - #endweightbias

Our commentary on ‘Sodium intake, life expectancy, and all-cause mortality’.
This latest study adds to the mounting evidence challenging current public health advice for low sodium intake in the entire population. https://t.co/2xkk5X1C5h

"Trying not to eat meat" to get healthy is like saying "Trying not to read books" to get smarter. Sure, you can accomplish the latter without the former, but what an ineffectual plan.

Talk nutrition all you want: If you're inconsistent with your physical activity, your results will be wanting #nutrition #protein #strength

[Stuart Phillips (he/him) @mackinprof]

Beyond about 1.6 g protein/kd/d it doesn't matter what protein you eat to support muscle mass gains https://t.co/Rd17RadTIN and protein is a 'thin slice' of benefit. Priority #1 (by a large margin) get to the gym. Supplements and protein a distant second!

@mackinprof Generic nutrition advice is shit. But there CAN be truth within almost all the pieces of "advice" in the video you shared, depending on the person/context. The problem isn't the advice itself, it's searching for it on social media to being with 😉 #seekanexpert

@shantalrenee @YoniFreedhoff When you open strip clubs & bars before schools, you ensure a nice COVID spike before schools get the chance to open safely. Clear? Keep those closed and you give the kids a chance. Too late now. Pathetic leadership in Ontario.
