#148 Protein Deep Dive | Why You Need It, Are Supplemental BCAAs Worthless & What is mTOR with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon

This bonus, talking all things protein, we revisit our episode with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to get a clear concise bullet point breakdown of takeaways from Dr. Lyon around nutrition and training. We also talk about what practices Gabby has put into place since this discussion. Questions hit: How much protein do I need? Why is 1 gram per ideal body weight the recommendation? Why 30-55 grams of protein per meal?  What are the important things to remember about your first and last meal of the day?  Taking protein into consideration, how do I now think about fats, carbs, and cholesterol? Are supplemental BCAAs a waste of money? Leucine? Why is this one picked out of the crowd? What is it doing for me? Where can I get it?  mTOR? Why is it important? Why it has a bad wrap?
