  • Hi Steve i would like to know if 60 gr of protein is enough no matter how muscular you are like dont you eat more also hw many meals a day do you eat with protein overall? also peoble say that experts

    that Research recommends a usage level up to 0.9 grams of protein per pound of body weight depending on the intensity of the specific training program. For a person weighing 125 lbs, this equals 112 grams of protein per day.

    is this true?Please answer? Thnx

  • I love this guy

  • so... if im 220 how much should i consume?? isnt that fact in your video inaccurate? doesnt really specifies what kind of person should be having just 60g of protein p/day

  • @FlyersTuanis No my video is not.

  • now..

    Activity Level: Individuals who regularly engage in weight training and / or endurance exercise require additional protein. Research recommends a usage level up to 0.9 grams of protein per pound of body weight depending on the intensity of the specific training program. For a person weighing 125 lbs, this equals 112 grams of protein per day.

  • To maintain body composition, the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is 0.4 grams of protein per pound of body weight. For a person weighing 125 lbs, this equals 50 grams per day.

  • But you have to add this though , Steven and i think you agree with me

    its that good food , like salads grees and fruits help the stomach active and stable , and natural.. you will have worse bowl movement if you eat just trash food.

    I think the idea comes from this fact that good food sustain your body and makes your body maintain itself , causing it to hav a great metabolism!

    then someone might come and call that "foods that change your metabolism" well its just a way to say .

  • AND bowl movement is very IMPORTant for weight loss or general health not only that most people who are over wheight have an incredably hard itme digesting mainly because of these unbalanced big portioned diets, lacking light healthy greens .

  • @TheRogueMonk but still, if you just eat junk food, you can still lose weight as long as you burn up more calories than you're taking in. It's the law of thermodynamics. if you don't get enough food your body digs into fat reserves to make up for it. Yes, fruits and vegetables are healthy and they fill you up, but the foods you eat don't cause weight loss, it's the amount of food you don't eat

  • @Chaaarge

    When are you going tofind bunch of fat people who can workout or can even burn callories internally well .

    Its like a car which has had no service for many years , it snot going to runn or runn any well.

    Importance lies not in what needs to be done its to make it possible first.

  • @Chaaarge and YES you shouldt wait for things to get perfect thats now what i said , i said you should aim on getting a better diet AND workout .

    I doubt that many people will be able to even go far with junk food in their vains.

  • Hi!! you should get some acoustic tiles for your office...the echo would be much less and the sound better...your videos are very good but I can tell you have ceramic tiles on your floor...just want to help you!!

  • Thanks. And great guess about the tile!

  • I ate a sub sandwich after my workout of 40 minutes on a elliptical ranging between 4-7 MPH

    the sub was the only thing that could fill me and it contained mustard mayo ham turkey lettuce tomato and bread.

    was that a bad idea? it was the only thing available at the college food place and it filled me up.

    plus i ate a grill chicked

  • Very funny and informative!

  • did i read that right at the end..? all is needed for prots is 50g a day? thats a one cup shake and a chicken breast. do protein calculators work? i'm 80k 18% bf and calculator threw a 250g protein per day.. i'm confused

  • Protein calculators are not correct.

  • you'd sound much better with a microphone on your shirt

  • i need to lose weight fast..if i work out 7-8 hours a day..eat salad, can i change my body?please help

  • thanks man..

  • YW!

  • One of your best videos yet. This is one of my new favs

  • Thanks!

  • What people don't understand is that Metabolism is chemical processing it is energy expenditure. For the body to store fat creates a boost in metabolism. Overweight people don't have a slow metabolism in fact its higher then normal since it takes energy to carry around the extra weight. Protein at one point in time was considered to cause cancer now it can't do any wrong like Whole eggs it once was the cause of high cholesterol recent studies have debunked that.Stop worrying about food and train

  • Overweight people DO have higher metabolisms but it's because their bodies's are inefficient. And diets that are high in RED meats have been show to cause greater cancers and heart disease. People who's diet are high in fish have greater longevity and a lower incedence of many diseases.

  • Thats exactly my point i'm showing that the high metabolism saying doesn't mean weight loss or better health. RED meats and the cause of cancers and heart diseases are like anything else its not due to red meats but to excess consumption of red meats. Even too much water can kill you.

  • Don't worry Gustsanch101. I trust steve more than anyone when it come to health and fitness I believe that steve has never touched steroids. I don't know how he got that vid but it's fake, trust me. Keep going strong steve, your awsome

  • He's full of something, all right.

  • Have u see SteroidsR4's vid? Is it true? Steve, did you really send him that message saying that you used roids? Please Steve, youre the only one i trust and youve lost some credibility. Respond please.

  • Increases in lean muscle mass result from what you're doing in the gym. They're IRON related so to speak and I think we both know that. The question is: How much protein is required to repair muscle and rebuild it bigger and stronger after the Iron work? I'm slowly coming to the realization that it's much less then I ever thought. I'm taking NO protein powder and have about 1 CLIF bar per week because they taste good, not for the protein. Son-of-a-bitch, I'm starting to realize Steve is right.

  • CR250, boy are you right! The general belief in the bodybuilding community (for the most part), tells a different story. I decided back in May 09' to try out what Steve was talking about in regards to protein; taking in less protein, eliminating or reducing protein powders,..and the idea of " catching up " on protein. In 2 weeks I'll hit the 6 month mark with this new approach. SO FAR....SO GOOD. I've lost some LBS of fat, and lost NO muscle. But my eyes are peeled for changes believe me.

  • so many bodybuilders (naturals and steroiders) eat excess protein... its so hard to determine whether hes right or not... cuz i've spoken with experts on both sides

  • Those "experts" are paid as sponsors from protein supplement companies!

  • If you folks want results, I'll tell you what to do: Type in the following in your desktop: bodyperformancetvdotcom. At least look at his blogs and free exercises there. But, if you REALLY want expert advice, join for a month. Just a month. $20 and you'll be a weight loss expert!

  • The scale and waist measurement are the ultimate determiners as far as what's REALLY going on with your body as far as fat loss. Your body will flucuate from day to day with weight, but the overall trend will be downward at approximately 1 lb. or so per week. If you're not losing, you're still eating too many calories or not doing enough cardio. Increase your walking or make some slight calorie cuts until the scale starts moving down. The scale and waist measurement will tell you what to do.

  • dustin, you really won't know excatly how many calories you're consuming OR burning. You can ballpark the intial calorie intake by looking at labels...this is true. You'll find you eat many of the same things day after day, so you'll memorize pretty quickly what is what as far as cals. Write down all meals and snacks. I do 3 meals plus two snacks per day. If the scale is " trending " downward at about 1 lb. per week or so, you're doing fine. If you're losing more then that, add food back.

  • I was introduced to a pro hormone called magnatren. I wanted some advice on this product before I start a 4 week cycle. thanks

  • Scooby is doo doo. JK! That guy is ripped!

  • steve, you and that guy scooby on you tube are the only one who are straight shooters, sound advice, i love your channel

  • @geobros scooby1961 and steve are the bomb .

  • Comment removed

  • message and you should listen

    -Josh

  • It is amazing how people think consuming fiber-laden foods will speed up your metabolism, like grapefruit and celery. You said it Steve! Of course we need fiber to help things come out easier and it supposedly cleans you out, but it won't cause weight loss! Some idiots don't understand humans can't digest cellulose. They just don't understand that we don't have the enzymes to do it. I think a few animals can though (termites, deer come to mind), but regardless folks Turano has a very accurate..

  • are the heart rate monitors with chest straps a reliable method of monitoring calories burned?

    What do you think Steve?

  • I'm sure they're not bad. Just like a pedometer. But if you watch what you eat and exercise consistently you will lose weight.

  • i know it's easy to track how many calories you consume by reading labels, but how do you know how many calories you burn throughout the day to make sure you are at a calorie deficit.

  • You have to create caloric deficit on as many days as you can. Eat just a bit less or clean up your diet. Cardio is a must as it burns calories. Besides just telling you reps and what and how to train cardio, I would join Steve's site for a couple of months. You'll learn much better how to train, do cardio and lean out. $40 maybe $60 bucks over 3 months and you'll be leaner and more muscular then before you went to college. Because you probably were not as good as you could been before College.

  • TheDudeFactory, you've just been consistantly consuming a few more calories then you've been burning while at College. Everyone does this. Beer and bartime eating are probably a huge culprit. With everytime you did stuff like that, or were too busy to workout and burn off some calories because of studying or other committments, you were putting on a certain small amount of bodyfat.  It just added up over the years. It happens slowly. It's called creeping obesity. Easy to turn around actually.

  • I am 21 years old, 6ft tall and about 185 pounds. I used to be really lean and muscular looking but 4 years of college has really made me fat and doughy. I don't want to get big, I want to be lean and cut. I know cardio is a must, but how should I lift weights? Like how many reps, sets, etc.? I know you've probably answered this before, but 200+ videos is a lot to go through. Thanks.

  • If I do cardio I do around 35 reps.

  • Can any expirerenced weight lifter add me and pm me I have questions

  • I did. You can check out a picture of me on my main You Tube page. It's called consistent, hard work. Something MOST weight lifters are not familiar with.

  • take your shirt off live so to prove you are not on roids !

  • you should do weightlifting form instructionals uleh

  • your right....100%. I eat burgers alot still losing weight...Ofcourse i count the calories keep em under at least 2300 and workout = weight loss.

  • BRR!

  • ive got a question. im 190 pounds and workout 4-5 times a week. i have a small protein shake before and after my workout and that in all has about 65 grams of protein. am i eating more protein than my body can handle and just putting extra stress on my kidneys for processing the protein?

  • Probably not from 2 small protein shakes.

  • The USDA! Just because you refuse to believe the facts doesn't mean they aren't the facts!!!

  • I listened to your Radio Show about protein and you explained everything perfectly! gj!

    But u mention if we want to improve our performance (Build muscle) more important are carbs...does a normal diet of 5 meals/day aport sufficient doses of carbs or we need to increase that number? asuming we are alrdy in shape and want to improve performance.

    thx Steve ur gr8

  • That depends on your calorie make up. Try 15% fat, 30% protein and 55% carbs.

  • I answered your question on my 9-29-09 BlogTalkRadio show. ~Steve Turano

  • nice!

    ty

  • TY!

  • Hi, So your telling me that you only have to have 50-60 grams of protein a day? This must be a very generalized view. Doesn't your body thrive on what your athletic output is? Especially when your in a specific energy output (anaerobic, or aerobic)? That means a high caliber athlete only needs 8-10 grams a meal? That's a ridiculous conecpt and I would like to know where your getting all your facts from.

  • I'm a nutrition major and I learned the same thing. They say that Olympics only need between 60-80 grams a day of protein!

  • What about carbs how many do they need?

  • It depends on your goal:

    Muscle gain>>> C=40 P=40 F=20

    Weight Loss>>> C=30 P=60 F=10

    But it's really what's good for you. I know you hate to hear that, but everybody's different.

  • the body can only build 1lb-2lbs of protein a week, so if you do the math i guess it will put you in that 50-60grams a day range... besides higher caliber athlets would require more carbs, not proteins.

  • Great vid by a great guy!

  • Well put Steve... I always smile when I see people drinking protein shakes now that they have started at the gym, because it will magically make them muscular... I've been asked how do I get arms that big... honestly as if lifting the weights for the past 7 years had little to do with it... 'they' look for a magic drink or mystery supplement.

    Eat right... eat good food, you don't need much extra protein or any extra at all, and exercise regularly.

  • Thanks so much!

  • You're so welcome!

  • Steve you are the best!

    THANKS!

  • My Pleasure!

  • Word. I love you, Steve.

  • Thank you!

  • steve is awsome best teacher ever!.... more power bro and tanx for this awsome video =)

  • My pleasure. Thank you!

  • 50-60 grams, i heard something about Greg Plitt eating 300 gram's a day. is that even good for you? Cuz i wanna try it out.

  • It will make you fat if you don't use those extra calories.

  • Hi. Had to stop working out both cardio and weight training for 2 weeks as I was unwell. I felt like I lost a fair bit of muscle. Would it be easy to put it back on when i train again?

  • Yes, don't worry!

  • im going for surgery soon and have to stay away from the gym for three weeks, i just wanted to know how i can stay slim without working out?

  • Just keep ans eye on your eating.

  • Steve what do you know about Zigzag dieting? I've been trying it, does it work or is it harmful?

  • Waste of time. Weight loss is an AVERAGE of everything you eat and do over weeks and months.

  • cocanut oil has been proven to boost metabolism and meat also has been proven to aswell. check it out yourself!

  • no its an illusion... He said right here, those things take more calories to digest, he also mentions that fiber keeps you full longer. There aren't many tricks to getting in great shape.. ITs about working correctly, and having a balanced diet and most of all preventing injury.

  • Great vid, 5*!.

  • Thanks!

  • yooo u r sooo cool

  • The only benefit that I find for protein is that it makes me full longer but only as a meal sub.

  • A lot of them have put all the weight back on and more. Very sad to see.

  • i've been following what steve says cuz it makes the most sense to me and i have lost weight and gained muscle...and i dont worry about protein at all. so yeah, i dont think any extra protein is necessary at all...just extra calories you dont need lol...

  • YES!

  • Biggest loser has some very big people this year. I can't believe why they don't drop dead after a workout with these two morons? How the hell can the body take such abuse?

    Thanks.

  • Steve.. Lets face the music!

    You should be speaking to the entire western world! Most of the public have a wrong idea of weight loss!

    All the best steve!

  • Very true! That's what I'm trying to do! LOL! Thank you.

  • NOPE.. Ii's for people who workout!

  • I always get confused by the largely inconsistent information about protein and weight training. There are bodybuilders who claim that research indicates a minimum of .8 grams of protein per lb body weight, in some cases even more. On the other hand, different research results may contradict each other...

    So you eat no more than 50-60 g of protein a day yourself, Steve? If so, you definitely prove that it this is indeed enough, considering your physique. =)

  • Hm, when I think about it... actually this is not necessarily a proof, since different people have somewhat different biological preconditions. In theory you could simply be a person whose body utilizes protein very efficiently. =)

    I'm merely speculating as a layperson here, not trying to criticize your statements or anything. I just like to contemplate things and take different perspectives into consideration. ^_^

  • It's a scientific fact the body doesn't need much more than 30-40 grams of protein a day. BUT PROETIN companies and the idiots they sponsor (steroid taking bodybuilders) would want you to think differently. I don't even know how much protein I eat during a normal day because our needs are so low & an average diet supplies 2-3 times the needed amount. I foucs on having a high carb drink after my workouts AND WORKING OUT!

  • thats very helpful,ive needed someone to clear that up

    cheers pal

  • Hey Steve,

    These videos are great and it's generous of you to make all this info available for free. I have a question: My iPod with the Nike+ system tells me that I have burned 650 calories doing a 4.12 mile run at an average 10:20 per mile at my weight of 205 pounds. That sound like an awful lot when compared to your statement that running a marathon burns just 1300 calories. What's up with that?

  • That's  sounds a bit high. Think about burning 100 calories per mile.

  • Doesn't work like that Steve. It depends on the weight of the individual and fitness. People who weigh little probably don't need to lose weight, like those terribly thin marathon runners!!!!

    So basically you are looking at people who are overweight or obese...usually this is 200+ pounds depending on the height. Most people burn 100+ calories per mile.... I think you were referring to half a marathon which is 13 miles not a full marathon which is 26 miles???? Then the maths work out!

  • Yes it does work like that. And I'm refering to average people when I'm talking about 100 calories a mile. Olympic Marathners burn 50 caloies a miles!!! But they run that distance in 5 minutes. It takes the average person 15 mintues to run a miole and burn 100 calories. The marathoner would burn 150 caloies in that 15 minutes and burn probably about 80% fat calories.

  • But Olympic Marathoners don't need to worry about their weight! Have you ever seen one, they look like sticks with legs?! If anything they need to put some on!!!!

    They may burn 50 calories per mile which maybe half of what the average person does but obese people are hardly average weight!

    Walking a mile for a morbidly obese individual would be like me going for a long run .....everybody is different but the average is 100 calories per mile but that is deceptive!

  • What I mean by deceptive is that most people who are watching your show are also wanting to lose weight....many are larger and heavier than average...therefore they will be burning more calories than 100 per mile!

  • Nope, it isn't. Over weight, out of shape people do not move very fast. And their body give up calories very slowly. You can try applying YOUR logic but it doesn't over ride the facts.

  • 50-60 grams of protein a day, this is for people that don't workout right? Because I eat around 150-200 grams of protein. a day.

  • drink green tea, i drink like 3 cups a day and i eat like a machine, it really works and it tastes great, well at least for me it does

  • i love watching your videos. They are always so informative. You just tell it like it is without the fluff.

    i am about to head over to the blog radio thing you were talking about.

  • Thank you!

  • thanks steve!

    this is some great advice like always^^!

  • My pleasure!

  • I wonder how many past contestants of TBL kept the weight off. Anybody know? Are they all fat again? It doesn't seem realistic that they are going to lose(sometimes) hundreds of pounds within a few weeks and then keep it off.

  • You're right. I have a People magazine with a couple on the front who was on the show. They both regained 40-50 pounds because they didn't have 8 hours a day to train. That's not realistic! Nor were they talk how TRUE weight gaina and weight loss occur!

  • I heard one guy named eric who lost over 200 pounds on the show regained almost all of it back. A shame.

  • Probably. They don't teach them about realistic, effective weight loss and eating.

  • So steve, you dont need to have lots of those "pure protein bars" for snacks and meals or whatever. Just the protein after you work out? the rest is just a waste?

  • No you don't. There's nothing wrong with them as a snack BUT the extra protein will not increase muscle growth. It will just add to your calorie total.

  • hey steve i don't eat meat am i getting enough protein

  • As long as you're getting other proteins from a vaiety of other sources. Milk, chesse, eggs, whole wheats, rice, beans you should be fine.

  • yeah if you lose 200 pounds that quick, you're gonna gain it all back i would think.

  • hey Steve, have you gotten bigger or are your shirts getting smaller? hehehe!

  • LOL! Well I do workout!

  • true. well, you look great and I so envy you with your physique at your age. keep up the good work.

  • Thank you! Just time and effort. All the things I tell people to do I do! You can do it too!

  • you burn close to 3,000 calories during a marathon at 8 minute mile pace.

  • NO YOU DON'T. Not even close. Marathoners burn 10 calories per minute while running at a 5 MINUTE mile pace. That's 50 calories a mile and 1300 calories during a marathon! ANY OTHER QUESTIONS!

  • Your the only one i've ever heard saying this, I've read lots on elite marathon runners and i run multiple marathons every year, but how come pretty much every other expert on long distance running state double the calories burned than you do?

  • They're long distance runners NOT weight loss experts!

  • Protein causes muscle growth? LOL!

  • is there anything we can do to prevent loose skin with major weight loss? both diet/exercise wise

  • That's what I would like to know too. From what I've heard so far though, excess skin can only contract to a certain degree. As far as I know if there's lots of excess skin it needs to be removed surgically.

  • Yes, unfortunately this is true.

  • Thank you for the confirmation, Steve. By the way, I noticed that you respond to comments a lot. Considering how many comments and probably also pm's you get, this really shows that you care about your viewers. Many people with many subscribers on Youtube don't take the considerable time to respond individually, which is totally understandable since time is a rare resource today.

    Kudos to you!

  • Lol I don't think There are very many people that are uneducated about fitness who are planning to run a marathon any time soon. To a guy sitting on the couch it doesn't really matter if you burn 1300 or 2600. The point is your not going to burn 1300 calories eating a couple of calorie negitive foods,and for the record it is closer to 2600 depending on your size.

  • how can i lose belly fat and man boobs quickly?

  • you cant lose them quickly

  • Steve, I remember in another video that you did, you said that you burn 100 calories a mile when you run. If that is the case, then after running a marathon that would be 2600 calories.

  • Yes, the average person burns about 100 calories a miles (15 minutes) when running. A marathoner burns about 50 calories per miles but that's in 5 minutes!!

  • I thought it was 100 calories per mile and your muscles store 1500 calories in glycogen

  • Thank you Steve

  • Steve, you always make me laugh after I watch your videos because I always realize the ignorance of what really matters in weight loss rather than that junk we are fred from "nutrition tips" and junk from advertisements and television.

  • The very first time I have to disagree with Steve. If you think running a marathon only burns 1300 calories...brother...your math is desperately off.

  • 1300 for the average marathoner cuz their already very skinny hence burn very few calories, ur not gonna see any big guy running a marathon unless hes a freak of nature.

  • I think he was just estimating ..............he wasnt saying "you burn exactly 1300 calories"

  • he still has a great general knowledge of fitness. I like the way he breaks it down so that dummies like me can understand :-) thanks steve!

  • eat lots of fiber in the morning with carbs and such and eat fruit all day long then eat carbs during lunch and protein around dinner

  • steve your looking great,how did the tri tendon bone rupture turn out im going through same thing right noe cant wait to start training again in jan.did you get back to the same weights you used before?hey,thanks for all your vids and info so long

  • Thank you for asking. Yes I am 100% but I had a good surgeon and was very careful and slow when I came back. Sorry to hear about your injury. It does come back. just be careful, patient and persistent.
