Is protein hard to come by now? It seems like something everyone is now really concerned about eating an absurd amount of now. I really wish people would stop treating their body like a character stat sheet. Mostly cause it's annoying.
The protein thing is always an excuse for something they wanted to do. Otherwise they'd all be eating seitan, which has a higher protein percentage than any meat.
Dehydrating my seitan so that it technically has a higher protein content proportion
That is the main reason im certain my protein intake is higher than 6 egg guy. Cause I eat sietan pretty often.
There's a finite amount, don'tcha know? Gotta get what you can!
I work with a dude who eats 6 eggs a day! Like he's some kind of ovaraptor. I will admit, I have a super low maintenance body as far as appearance goes. Im mistsken for being 10 years younger and am skinny jacked. I carb up before work usually and just kinda burn that off and that's cause pasta or some kinda potato and veggie mush are what works for me on a time limit. Knowing some of this shit is part of my job as well so I looked into protein per gram on a few things and considering my seitan and broccoli intake im probably beat six eggs guy there too. But like...im not paying attention
Honestly, if you are very active or are working out on a regular basis it can be difficult to get your recommended amount of protein according to your size. It's not as difficult as getting your recommended amount of fiber, but can be pretty difficult especially if you have diet restrictions.
I don't eat a lot of meat and I'm a fairly big and active dude. I think I'm supposed to get like 130-145g of protein a day, which I honestly can't do without protein supplements. I usually do a pea protein shake in the morning and after a workout and I still don't usually end up getting my recommended.
I think it matters more if you're active and especially older. If I didn't supplement my protein my recovery after workouts is pretty gnarly.
Im vegan and work a very physical job, and because of said physical job I don't work out, I also walk everywhere and am generally on my feet at least 12 hours a day. I guess I also tend to eat relatively okay compared to most...I drink too much and smoke a pack a day so I kinda forget my diet is actually pretty decent.i just like rice and beans and veggies a lot anyway
People are destroying their livers with the amount of protein that they are eating. Its an eating disorder clothed in the superficial appearance of "health".
Most of them arent even bodybuilders.
