Should I Have Protein Right After A Workout? (Post-Workout Anabolic Window ) | #QuckTipEpisode

In this video, I address if it's important to have protein IMMEDIATELY AFTER a workout.

Studies show that it may not be a resounding yes. Still, there are definitely more benefits to getting enough protein than there are to not getting enough protein.

For example, according to an article on PubMed, it is only important to have protein if you haven't eaten in 5-6 hours either before or after a workout. If you have, then it won't make things worse but, probably won't make them better either.

However, the biggest issue is not getting enough protein from your diet.

"How much protein should I have?"

➤ The RDA for protein right now is 0.8 g/kg/day and this is WAY TOO LOW! According to multiple new studies, having upwards of 2.2 g/kg/day is way better for our bodies especially athletes and the elderly.

"What kind of protein should I have?"

➤ Just read labels and know the difference between a #wheyprotein blend, isolate and concentrate.

🙋‍♂️ MEET THE HOST - Anthony Amen
My personal training journey started in college. Before that, I was never really into any aspect of fitness. I ate what I wanted, ran a 15 min/mile and couldn’t tell you the difference between a plank or a pushup. That all changed in college when I began playing intramural sports. Through complete trial and error, I quickly learned the technique and became obsessed with the gym. It wasn’t long until I learned how I could change my life and realized I can now accomplish things that everyone told me would be impossible.

Personal Training has taught me how to pass this knowledge onto others. I truly understand what it feels like to be hopeless and lost. I’ve helped many different clients of all backgrounds achieve their goals; this allowed them to witness changes that they didn't think were possible.

Redefine Fitness is my answer to all fitness questions. It's not about having the biggest muscles or being the fastest runner, rather it is about helping you redefine yourself into the best version that you can be! My goal now is to spread the word that life isn't worth giving up on and anyone can achieve anything. I plan on growing Redefine Fitness to a fully established brand, push myself into motivational speaking and eventually leave a permanent mark on this world
