Why prioritizing eating high quality protein really is the right choice if you care about your health, body composition and satiation (not being hungry all the time). Alan Aragon on the Huberman Lab podcast out now (on all platforms & here on @x).

@TheAlanAragon @X Great to see the nutrition GOAT @TheAlanAragon on the podcast!

@TheAlanAragon @X since I started tracking my protein intake and aiming for 150-180g a day I've anecdotally noticed an increase in energy levels and agree with Alan that I actually feel full without overeating

When I started eating 4 eggs a day for lunch, on top of a protein shake for breakfast, my body really started recomping. I'm not full keto but if I can stay under 100g of carbs in general I continue to slim down and can build muscle even in my 50's. When I tried keto it was amazing, dropping 3lbs per week but I couldn't sustain it, as many can't.

@TheAlanAragon @X This has been intuitive to me for some time.

@TheAlanAragon @X Once I shifted to higher protein breakfasts, midday hunger and random snacking disappeared. Life changing.

Highly recommend the Huberman x Aragon episode. Packed with clarity: • 30g protein limit? Myth • Total daily protein > timing • Fasted cardio ≠ better fat loss • Recomp is real (lift + protein) • Vegan gains need strategy, not supplements • Alcohol is about tradeoffs • Simplicity beats hacks—consistency wins

@TheAlanAragon @X An interesting metric to look into for protein quality is PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score)

@TheAlanAragon @X Yesterday I found out that rabbit is one of if not the highest volume of protein in meat.
