“anywhere from 1.5 to 2 g of protein per kilo is usually the range that we look at um but we'll also kind of see like what are they currently eating for protein or do they need to be and do we have a really big gap okay then let's start kind of slowly working their way up because if they're going to all of a sudden overnight increase their protein greatly that might be a little overwhelming for them”

“what we found in the research is that um you know in our 20s we tend to absorb protein really efficiently um whereas when we get into more of those Masters athlete category and you know above we will um see that we don't absorb that protein quite as well so you might need to consume just a little bit more to account for that”

“we will make sure that they're not dieting on the bike they're not dieting in their workouts um where they will think oh I'm going to do this fasted and see if I can like burn more body fat or um I'm going to skip this gel because I'm going to save those calories cuz I'm trying to like drop some pounds I find that that often really backfires significantly for athletes because when your performance and your workouts suffer they feel like crap”
