Complete view of protein, human health, exercise, and aging. RDA vs higher-protein intake, and high-SPC

Protein synthesis & its role in hypertrophy is, first of all, not the be-all, end-all of higher protein intake benefits.

So neither 1.6 nor 2.0g/kg/day represents a hard stop with no additional benefits from a higher protein intake. The reason why some people can claim that 1.6 is all that’s needed depends on how complete you want the conversation to be. But, when they make that claim, they are always, and only, talking about healthy, younger omnivores, and they are only looking at protein synthesis and hypertrophy. Seemingly doing so because they are convinced that human health, nutrition, and fitness never, ever go beyond these two things, and that everyone happens to be young, and an omnivore.

This is based on an incomplete understanding, or at least a limited perspective, on food, health, aging, and fitness.

THE HIGH-PROTEIN FOOD APPROACH THAT STRENGTH BY FITNESS HAS BEEN CHAMPIONING AND COACHING FOR THE PAST DECADE.

Our nutritionally rich high-protein, higher-SPC coaching is not just for the elderly, or the obese, and perpetually overweight who need better habits that are possible to adhere to long-term. Neither is it just for the many strength, muscle, and power-focused fitness-loving people, and athletes that regularly show up all year round in the gym no matter their age.

No, on the contrary, the nutritionally rich high-protein approach you see Strength By Fitness talk about, and coach is just as beneficial for endurance-loving athletes and enthusiasts too.

Comparing SPC, UPF & Protein Levels, Fact-based Outcomes.

Comparing SPC, UPF & Protein Levels, Fact-based Outcomes.

IN THIS ARTICLE, COACH MIKE EXAMINES TWO CONTRASTING HIGH-PROTEIN INTAKE STUDIES, ONE FROM 2005 AND ANOTHER FROM 2025. DEMONSTRATING HOW THEY RELATE TO AND ULTIMATELY VALIDATE YOUR HIGH-PROTEIN, HIGHER-SPC LIFESTYLE.

I’ll begin by introducing SPC (satiety per calorie), a modern food metric, and explain its relevance to a study conducted two decades ago. We will after that delve into the impact of ultra-processed foods (UPF) on overall food consumption and compare outcomes between a high-protein UPF intake and a lower-protein UPF intake under ad libitum feeding conditions. This comparison will illuminate how these findings fit into the broader fact-based SPC food approach.

Nutritional Coaching + Sustainability. This is why they need to go hand in hand.

Nutritional Coaching + Sustainability. This is why they need to go hand in hand.

Think of Earth as an almost closed-off circular system with a finite capacity to handle annual pollution, natural resource drain, natural loss, and imbalances.

Now, take roughly 9 billion humans and add our environmental impact together, and you are left with the mathematical reason why sustainability matters when we discuss healthy food habits and our individual nutritional intake.

Beef requires roughly 20 times more land than nuts, and 35 times more than grains to produce the same amount of edible protein.
