These are my actual amounts (average) versus targeted amount of proteins, leucine and methionine in the last week (all in grams).
Proteins: target= 50 actual= 69
Methionine: target= 1.0 actual= 1.6
Leucine: target= 2.2 actual= 5.8
BAD NEWS!!! I've been way off target, in significant excess of the WHO modal needs.
Now, I'm a vegetarian but I eat yogurt, eggs and cheese. I don't eat inordinate amounts but evidently It's very easy to ingest many proteins.
My leucine intake in particular, which triggers the mTOR sensor, is over twice the estimated modal need of the population.
Methionin, which triggers the IGF-1 sensor, is 60% in excess (maybe more, since I didn't calculate cysteine).
Bottom line, my mTOR and IGF-1 sensors are probably activated now, which means I'm not in the repair & manteinance mode as I would wish.
Need to revise my dietary strategy again.
