Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
So I recently found out that you should take 1.5 or twice the amount of your body weight of that much of a protein.
Oh, yeah.
1.5 to 2.
So let's say you're like 60, right?
Then you have to take 120 grams of protein.
Yeah.
That's a lot of protein, I think.
Yes, yes. That's a lot.
I just recently found that out.
And I also found out at the same time that taking in the proper amount of protein is very vital.
Yeah, right.
So I'm right now on a journey of taking the proper amount of protein right now, right?
Yeah.
So when I convert that to my body weight, I have to take in about like 12 scoops of protein every day.
When I were to supplement them by powders, right?
Okay, okay.
That's a lot.
Yeah, that's a lot.
What do you think of that? What do you think about that?
Yeah, it's said like that.
Yeah.
Double is for like people do like regularly.
Oh, like trying to get their muscles bigger?
Yeah, maybe.
Oh.
But, yeah.
In any case, it's like the amount of protein you should take is like way bigger than we imagine.
You usually take, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you think you're hitting that protein level?
Not anymore.
I was trying to.
You used to?
Yeah, I was trying to.
How were you taking all that protein in back then?
So like I take protein powder.
Okay, yeah.
Four times in a day.
Professional?
Yeah, because that's what I needed.
Hardcore?
Yeah.
And beside that, of course, like morning, for example, like eggs.
Yeah.
For morning food.
From food, right?
Yeah, like lunch.
Organic, natural food.
Yeah, meat.
Yeah.
Salmon.
Yeah.
And, yeah, that's what I tried.
But it was.
It's too much.
It was difficult.
Uh-huh.
It was not sustained.
Really, really.
No, no, no, no.
You had to constantly tell yourself to get protein?
Right.
And also, if I take too much amount of protein one day, my stomach doesn't.
Digest well?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
So that's why I quit that style.
Because of lactose, no?
I.
Not because of lactose?
It's, I think it's just the amount of protein amount.
Just protein itself?
Yeah.
Oh, I see.
Okay, okay.
So that's why I quit that cycle.
Okay, okay.
Anymore.
Do you get an upset stomach?
Do you feel it in your stomach when you take too much protein?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Like the next day I feel.
It hurts?
A little pain.
Oh, okay.
And works doesn't properly, you know.
I see.
Okay, okay.
So.
03:00
I see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why.
And like when you're out for the whole day, you don't have access to your protein shakes?
Yeah.
It's only night and day, right?
Sorry.
Morning and night.
So like I have to take that much protein.
Like I have to take six scoops or something every morning.
That's a lot.
That's a lot.
I'm just surprised by that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So people should.
And also, you can't digest like, for example, 50 grams of protein at one time.
Oh, you can't do that?
Yeah, it has a limit.
Oh, shit.
I thought like from 30 to 40.
That's the human limit?
Yeah, for one time.
Oh, of course.
It depends on your body size.
Your body size.
Right, right, right.
But there's a limit?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, shit.
So when you exceed that, that doesn't count?
For one time.
Oh, shit.
Okay.
So you have to separate into like six times a day.
Yo, that's difficult.
Yeah, it's not something you eat like a whole bunch of yakiniku and dinner and tons of meat.
How did I hit my protein?
You can't do that.
That's not something like that.
Shit.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, damn.
So it's difficult.
So how long were you able to hit that protein line?
I don't know.
Less than a week?
What do you mean?
So you were like several...
Me?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You had a time where you tried to hit that line, right?
Yeah.
How long of a streak were you at?
I mean, if I succeeded or not, I don't remember.
It's just maybe two days and not succeed one day.
Oh, okay.
So instead of like a consecutive...
How long did you try to do it?
More than one month.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
But I felt so bad on my stomach, so I just gave up.
That's why.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
But it was difficult.
You have to prepare like tons of eggs for the morning.
I ate eggs for the morning.
Oh, so that's how you tried to take the protein then?
I ate three eggs regularly.
Oh, shit.
I made a yudetamago.
Okay.
And then my yudetamago machine is...
I have a yudetamago machine that...
The microwavable...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like you can put three eggs.
I bought that, by the way.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I like it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can make three eggs at one time, so I do that in the morning.
You eat three poached eggs...
Not poached, boiled eggs.
Boiled eggs.
And for lunch, that was the toughest one.
Okay.
Because, you know, we go outside and...
Yeah.
Yeah.
But...
So in the morning, I...
So first of all, when I wake up,
I take a protein.
You take a protein drink?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's 30 grams of protein.
Okay, okay.
And then for the breakfast, I eat yudetamagos,
that is three yudetamagos.
Yeah.
And lunch, I try as much as I can,
having chickens, you know, things.
Yeah.
And after that, protein powder.
Okay.
And if I go outside and strolling around,
06:00
I buy some, like, protein...
Bars?
Yeah, bars.
Or, like, what I bought was, like, a WIDA thing.
Oh, okay.
Like a drinkable thing.
Yeah.
And try those.
Okay.
Or, like, tofu bars, you know, kind of.
Yeah.
And, yeah.
But...
It was not sustainable.
Mm-mm.
So during that one-month period of you trying to hit that line,
besides you getting an upset stomach,
what were...
Was there any upside?
I don't think any.
You didn't...
I didn't...
At least I didn't feel anything.
Okay.
The downside was way bigger.
Just way too much?
Yeah.
Wow.
Okay.
You know, people say, like, you get...
Well, of course, like, muscles bigger,
skin's better,
hairs and nails and everything, but...
Yeah.
None of that you saw.
At least for one month.
Yeah, maybe it was too short.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh.
Okay.
So...
How are you adjusting that now?
Like, what are you doing?
I'm still taking proteins.
As much as you can?
I mean, I'm controlling it.
Oh, okay.
So, for double of my weight,
it's too much for my stomach.
Okay.
So, now I do is one scoop a day.
Okay.
For protein powders.
And then after that, I do...
For meals, I try as much as possible.
Okay.
That's what I do.
I see.
But I'm sure it's not...
You're not hitting that level.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Are you trying to?
I am...
So, several days ago,
when I first found out...
Okay, okay.
That it was that much,
and it was that important.
Yeah.
All right?
So, yes, I am right now...
I'm not completely hitting it.
Like, I'm just...
I'm gradually...
Oh.
Because I learned.
That's the key.
Yes.
Because I learned the hard way.
You have to.
Yes.
Yeah.
I'm gradually adjusting my intake.
Maybe that's what I should have done.
Yeah.
Maybe that's what you should have done.
Maybe you should have just adjusted
scoop by scoop, maybe.
True.
Yeah.
I won't, you know...
Bikkuri suru?
Right, right, right, right.
How do you say bikkuri suru?
I forgot.
Surprise?
Yeah.
I'm learning a lot of English from you today.
Yeah, today, yeah.
Like, the second or third time
you taught me English.
Surprise isn't that difficult.
I know, right?
Yeah.
So, right.
I'm trying to...
Yeah.
I'm trying to gradually get to that level.
Oh, you learn things.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
So, it's hard.
It's hard, though.
So, you're doing, like, protein powder things?
I'm doing protein powders.
That's it, though.
That's it?
That's it, though.
I mean, if I have a chance to get, like, a high-protein food, I would go for it.
But it's not like I'm forcefully changing my desires, right, so that I would go to steak
or something like that.
I'm not doing that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
That's important, too, I think.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A man's lovely life, you know?
Yeah, right, right, right.
If you're controlled by those proteins, then, you know, you're kind of, you know...
You're kind of lost in that maze of, like, what do you take every day, right?
09:01
Right.
Absolutely, absolutely.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Bye-bye.
