3309: Simplifying Protein Intake Once and For All

WW: Simplifying Protein Intake Once and For All

There’s a lot of conflicting information when it comes to protein intake—should you go high or low?

Research shows that a low-protein diet supports longevity, while higher protein intake is essential for body transformation.

But what if there were a balanced approach that allows you to reap the benefits of both?

So on today’s Cabral Concept 3309, I’ll break down the protein debate and help you simplify your daily intake once and for all. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. Low Protein

Research shows that a lower-protein diet (about 10% of daily macros or 0.4g per pound of body weight) reduces overall mortality risk.

2. High Protein

To build muscle and change body composition, 1g of protein per pound of body weight is recommended, but excessive intake may increase the risk of heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes.

3. Finding the Right Balance

For optimal health and longevity, aim for up to 20% of daily macros from protein (with at least half coming from plant proteins), or about 0.5–0.6g per pound of body weight, increasing as you age to maintain strength and vitality.
