Dr. Neal responds to Clint's question about optimizing protein intake for muscle tone while managing belly fat. He discusses how much protein is ideal based on weight and activity level, explaining the benefits of various protein sources, from whey to plant-based options. He also advises on affordable supplements, safety concerns, and when to use them, emphasizing the importance of resistance training and proper timing.
Quotes to ponder:
"Protein is important in your case for two main reasons: you’re active and you’re over the age of 40."
"What seems to be most important is consuming protein throughout the day, not all at once."
"A good rule is to find a product that costs about less than 75 cents per 20 grams of protein."
