Here Are Today’s 8 Viewer Questions
- Which is better for cardio steady state or high intensity interval training?
- Should a 150 lbs person take the same amount of post workout protein powder as a 200 lbs person?
- Any suggestions on how to meal prep for a family of 6?
- Is having a 1000 calorie deficit per day healthy?
- Is drinking your meals just as healthy as eating them?
- Does your metabolism slow down as you age?
- Does it matter what time of day you eat fruit?
- What should you do when you hit a plateau?
Question #1: Which Is Better For Cardio Steady State Or High Intensity Interval Training?
Tara D Cooper from Facebook says:
“My question has to do with steady state cardio vs high intensity. I much prefer doing shorter, high intensity cardio, but I have a friend who recently hired a personal trainer and was told to do steady state cardio to keep her heart rate at a certain level for an HOUR. Otherwise instead of burning fat, she is burning muscle. Does HIIT burn muscle? Would love to hear your thoughts on this! Love you guys! #LiveLeanIsTheBestTeam.”

Question #2: Should A 150 lbs Person Take The Same Amount Of Post Workout Protein Powder As A 200 lbs Person?
Danielleger1 on Snapchat asks:
“How much protein powder should you take after your workout? Is it based on your bodyweight? For example, if I weigh 150 lbs, would a 200 lbs person take the same amount of protein post workout or more? Is there a weight to protein powder ratio that we should follow after the workout to maximize our gains and recovery? Thanks.”

Question #3: Any Suggestions On How To Meal Prep For A Family Of 6?
Carianne on Snapchat says:
“My husband Lives Lean 365 days a year and I’m just starting my journey. We have 4 children, and overall eat pretty healthy. Any suggestions on how Living Lean can be applied to family life? For example, how to meal prep for 6 people? Thanks in advance.”

Question #4: Is Having A 1000 Calorie Deficit Per Day Healthy?
Ronni.o on Snapchat asks:
“My goal is 1790 calories a day. But at the end of the day, I am in a calorie deficit of over 1000 calories due to working out. Is a 1000 calorie deficit a day healthy for weight loss? I want to make sure I’m maximizing my effort.”

Question #5: Is Drinking Your Meals Just As Healthy As Eating Them?
CiscoBalls on Snapchat asks:
“I know Living Lean is a lifestyle, but life is really busy at times. Is drinking your meals as healthy as eating them? For example, greens and whey?”

Question #6: Does Your Metabolism Slow Down As You Age?
ricker2000 on Snapchat asks:
“What are your thoughts on aging and metabolism? I have noticed as I’ve gotten into my mid-30s that my metabolism is not the same as in my early 20s. Is that due to a change in lifestyle? Does your metabolism slow down in your 30s? I have read differing opinions but I want to know what Mr. Live Lean thinks.”

Question #7: Does It Matter What Time Of Day You Eat Fruit?
Kathy Figueroa on Facebook asks:
“Hey Brad and Jess! First of all thank you so much for all that you do 🙂 I’ve been a part of Team Live Lean since I started my journey about a year ago. I must say, most of my knowledge on fitness and nutrition, has been learned from you guys 😅. My question is, is there a preference with what time of day you eat fruit? Does it matter when I eat it as long as it fits with my daily calorie needs? Is eating fruit at night good or bad? Thanks again.“
