Q

4 goals post workout

A
  1. Rehydration (based on sweat losses) and replace electrolyte losses
  2. Restoration of muscle glycogen (CHO)
  3. Restoration/repair to damaged protein/muscle tissue
  4. Start the remodelling process (create anabolic environment)

21
Q

How much protein should be consumed after training

A

15-25g of high quality protein within first 30 mins
0.25-0.3G/kg BW

22
Q

Examples of protein with 15-25g

A

2 cups skim milk- 18g
2 cups chocolate milk- 16g
3-4 slices lunch meat- 18g
2tbsp- peanut butte- 6g
2 eggs- 12g

23
Q

What should protein intake be after workout if weight not high enough to calculate between 15-25g

A

15g

24
Q

When primary goal is to increase lean muscle mass…

A

Consume high quality protein as soon as possible after training

25
Q

When is it very important to consume protein asap after training

A

If training was high intensity, over long duration (>1 1/2 hours), new exercises, new training loads, or if next session within 8hrs

26
Q

What has research shown about muscle protein synthesis optimization

A

Optimized in response to exercise when ~10g EAA are consumed in early recovery

27
Q

What seems to be a superior protein type

A

Dairy sources
Due to leucine content and digestion and absorption kinetics of BCAA in fluid based dairy foods

28
Q

Example of whey

A

Fluid in cottage cheese
Has leucine
Stays liquid, easy to digest

29
Q

Example of casein

A

Chunks in cottage cheese
Takes longer to digest

30
Q

What does whey cause

A

More MPS with whey protein
Theory is because leucine

31
Q

What may be beneficial with protein intake impact on weight loss

A

Increased protein intake, decreased fat and carb

32
Q

What has been shown to increase fat loss and preserve lean tissue

A

Decreased CHO intake (approx 40% kcal) and increased protein intake

33
Q

Why might a high protein diet work?

A

Protein causes a greater feeling of fullness (satiety) vs CHO and fat
The thermic effect of food is higher for protein vs CHO and fat

34
Q

Thermic effect of food (TEF)

A

Energy costs of food absorption, digestion, transport
Usually highest 1 hour post meal

35
Q

How much of daily energy needs is TEF

A

~5-10%

36
Q

How much of RMR for TEF of protein, CHO, and fat

A

20-30% of RMR for protein
5-10% for CHO
<0-5% for fat

37
Q

What would impact resting energy needs (metabolism)

A

Maintenance of lean muscle mass

38
Q

What’s benefit of eating night protein meals every couple hours

A

Continual metabolism
Continuous thermal effect of food
If only eating once a day- slowing metabolism

39
Q

6 risks of high protein intake

A
  1. Concerns with supplement purity/content if supplementing
  2. Increase fat and chol intake (animal products)
  3. Maybe increased workload on kidneys and liver
  4. Treated exertion of calcium

If taking in excess protein what are you losing

A

Lots more water
