Thank you John for the insightful video, i love all your stuff and especially you being on spotify! I havw a video recommendation, a deeper dive into the nutritional tips and requirements for very early morning lifters (like 5am before a meal is able to be gotten). Whether that be adjusting the carb loading day to the evening/night prior and for the rest of the day just halving the carbs like you teach. Thank you for all your wisdom!!!

Would love a video of you covering how to ramp up your BMR over time, as someone who just ended a chronic dieting “phase”. Thank you!

Great video good to know when to go for fat loss and when best to bulk so you don’t try to put on size and increase metabolism when you’re too fat

Incredible! For the 1g Protein, would you account for trace amounts from carbs? Or direct sources first?

At 300lbs that 35-40cal per kg is like 4700-5400ish calories? For maintenance? My maintenance is only like 3100ish. That maintenance seems so far out of reach. It sounds like my metabolism needs a reset and a significant fat loss phase.
