30 Seconds SummaryCan excess protein make you fat?
- Excess protein can lead to fat gain if it contributes to a calorie surplus, despite its higher thermogenic effect and potential appetite reduction.
- Consuming protein above certain levels (1.8 grams per kg body weight) does not show additional benefits in terms of muscle synthesis or satiety.
- Protein sources that cause discomfort, like excess gas, are likely related to individual digestibility and other dietary changes, not protein itself.
- Caffeine's effectiveness can diminish over time with habitual use, suggesting possible benefits to cycling or strategically using pre-workout supplements.
- Creatine is generally safe to use, and slight variations in blood potassium levels are not typically a direct effect from creatine supplementation.
