Show Notes
In this episode, registered dietitian and exercise‑nutrition scientist Dr. Eric Williamson breaks down how much protein you actually need, why distribution across the day beats chasing a narrow “anabolic window,” and how needs shift with endurance work and with age. We translate lab findings into simple plate‑building moves you can use on travel days or during heavy training blocks. Eric also tackles the big myths (carbs vs protein, fasting, snack frequency), explains why resistance training is non‑negotiable during fat loss, and shares a practical, hunger‑aware approach to hitting targets without blowing up your social life. Come for the science; leave with a repeatable playbook for muscle, energy, and long‑term health.
