Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2842: How to Calculate Your Macros ; The Complete Beginner to Advanced Guide

Agreed.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2842: How to Calculate Your Macros ; The Complete Beginner to Advanced Guide

So I would say that what you're saying is more often the rule than the exception.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2842: How to Calculate Your Macros ; The Complete Beginner to Advanced Guide

Very rarely did I have to put somebody on a moderate or on the lower end of protein.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

Typically, a higher protein diet for all goals tends to serve most people.

You have to talk about, too, the importance of hitting that number every single day consistently, and it resets.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2842: How to Calculate Your Macros ; The Complete Beginner to Advanced Guide

And why that's so important is because I think a lot of clients will look at it like, oh, I average this much.

But then they'll have two, three days that are really low, and then other days are really high.

And so I found that most people struggle to do what you said, which is hit that 0.6 to 0.8 consistently day in and day out.

Well, I think โ€“ remember when we look at RDA, this isn't โ€“ that's not โ€“ they're not basing that off of people that strength train, say, two to four times a week.

And so I think when you factor in somebody who is lifting weights, that number jumps up right away.

I can't tell you how many times I took a female client in particular, both male and female, but female in particular client that was eating around what the RDA is and bumped them 20 grams more a day.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

Notice a difference in their hormone profile.

Their libido goes up.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

Skin better.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2842: How to Calculate Your Macros ; The Complete Beginner to Advanced Guide

Just all around.
