"Grocery store shelves are stacked with convenient, protein-ified snacks, from bars to soda. But how much should you rely on them if you're trying to avoid ultra-processed foods? For Rob Hobson, a sports nutritionist, the answer is simple: it's "very, very easy" to consume enough protein without relying on UPFs, which are linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease when eaten in large amounts."
"To support his daily hourlong workout routine, which combines endurance training on an assault bike and weightlifting, he aims to consume around 0.7g of protein per pound of body weight each day. Hobson said this is enough to build muscle, feel full, and fuel himself. He used to turn to protein bars and shakes, which are typically ultra-processed, but cut down on UPFs two years ago."
Rob Hobson follows an hourlong daily workout combining assault bike endurance training and weightlifting and targets about 0.7 g of protein per pound of body weight each day. Protein intake supports muscle growth, satiety, and recovery. Hobson reduced consumption of ultra-processed protein bars and shakes two years ago and meets protein needs with whole foods, beans, minimally processed whey powder, overnight oats, and a variety of fridge-stocked protein sources. He follows an 80/20 approach that allows occasional wine, chocolate, or pizza. The approach emphasizes balanced nutrients and warns against obsessing over single nutrients.
