High protein is good, but by how much? (3:30) It depends on how active you are and your lean body mass; Vinnie shares some guidelines. And yes, you can gain fat if you eat too much protein. Vinnie recently started measuring his protein intake and realized he wasn’t getting as much as he thought. (13:00) It was easy to find more ways to increase protein intake. Are protein powders worth the cost? (17:00) There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, but Vinnie recommends using it sparingly, except in specific instances. There are a lot that are bastardized; also, only use unflavored ones. There was a recent study that discusses contaminants found in many protein powders. (20:00) Overeating protein will cause the body to store a certain percentage of the excess as fat. (21:00) Vinnie doesn’t believe in a rigid window for eating protein after a workout. (27:00) When you eat whole animal protein, you will feel more satisfied. (32:00) Protein powder by itself doesn’t have the fats, vitamins, or minerals that whole foods do. Training women in perimenopause and menopause is a newer trend. Women are getting back into the gym to get stronger and fight menopausal symptoms. (37:00) Gyms as a “third space”: is it a good idea?
