@jacobzemer: Listen, this is our second attempt at explaining why this salad is only ok for weight loss. First of all, it’s low in calories and full of vegetables which is amazing for weight loss. But if you’re trying to build or maintain lean muscle mass, you want adequate protein and this salad by itself is not enough for that. How much protein, you ask? Well this is a complex question that depends on a lot of variables, but let’s say somewhere between 0.33-0.85 times your body weight. Someone who is as muscular as I am working out as often as I am is going to be at that 0.85 range. Muscle protein synthesis (achieved at 25g protein per meal) means that the light switch in your body is turned on for signaling muscle growth. Muscle protein degradation (achieved at 40g protein per meal) simply means that the protein you’re taking in is adequately being utilized rather than being converted to glucose. #salads #protein #proteinsynthesis #muscle #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #healthyeating #healthyeatinghabits #healthyeatingtips #trackingmacros #macrocounting #caloriedeficit #caloriecounting #caloriesincaloriesout #weightloss #weightlosstips #performancecoach #personaltrainer #nyctrainer #nycfitnesstrainer #nycfitfam
