Do you have any idea how much protein you're supposed to be eating each day to gain the amount of muscle you want? You might think you know the answer, but there's a lot of misinformation floating around on the topic of protein consumption

To make things worse, every fitness influencer says something different, and many of them don't look at the scientific research and the studies. Some trainers look at the science, but they don't take into account real-life events, such as training themselves and their clients. You need to look at both ends of the spectrum, the science and individual and client case studies if you want the most accurate information. In this episode, I dive into the science, my personal experience, and my experience as a coach for the past 13 years working with almost 1000 clients!
