Alright, guys – put down that extra chicken breast! Thomas Delauer here on this week’s Science Take Over to go over saving you some money and time by cutting down on the protein consumption because we’re going to debunk the myth that you have to constantly be taking in protein.
0:30 – Protein contains Nitrogen. Nitrogen is only present in protein when you ingest it, therefore it’s easy to measure and see whether or not you are taking in enough or more than your body needs.
1:30 – Summary of how Nitrogen balance works.

2:31 – Protein intake can actually be less. Turns out less protein didn’t make any difference.
3:09 – Even bodybuilder can get away with just 0.6 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight and not burn up muscle.
