Consumes 10 kg of protein
Shits once per month
I think your co-worker might be an anaconda.
Ladies, if your boyfriend...
I'm a scrawny guy and i work the trades. I pulled some old equipment up some guys stairs alone and left it outside for him to dispose of. The guy had arms the size of my thighs. He genuinely asked me if I thought he'd have a hard time moving it into his trailer.
Id ask that sort of question to learn whether there are any considerations I wouldn’t offhandedly know about. We had an air compressor that DID NOT like being stored tilted. It would tolerate being tilted while moving, but would loudly complain for a few minutes after it started. I think we settled on a gasket being loose
Don't compressor motors have a lubricant oil sump at the bottom and rely on being upright to work properly? It kind of sounds like you were running it dry, before the oil had a chance to get back where it was supposed to be.
These sorts of things are why I ask open ended questions now. You could be right about the actual cause
He is. The general rule of thumb is that any device with a compressor should remain off for twice as long as it was tilted.
Yeah, pretty much all of them are built that way, and if they get tilted you're supposed to wait an hour at the absolute barest minimum, preferably 4-6, and ideally 24 hours, because the oil can work its way into the bits that actually compress and if you turn it on with barely compressable oil in the parts that are meant to compress gas it can just die
Visible muscles vs usable muscles
or something, idk
Visible muscles vs stamina maybe
It makes sense. Sedentary lives encourage muscle loss so protein excess encourages retention. Labourers don't grow a ton of muscle working once they peak and need more calories from fat and carbs.
People need to stop thinking that excess protein intake when sedentary will develop muscle. The bottom line is that excess calories consumed beyond total daily energy expenditure will cause weight gain. And not the muscular kind of weight. Protein has 4 calories per gram so it's not a freebie diet food that magically builds muscle. It only builds muscle if you exercise. Not sitting on yer arse.
Protein has 4 calories per gram
Protein is only used as fuel in extremis, it's a dirty fuel and the body will poop what it doesn't need for repair if there's enough other calories coming in. Also only some amino acids are biochemically amenable to conversion to energy, whereas the 4cal/g figure is from burning it all in air. Protein does not turn into cake, you can however argue the excess is wasted, but how much is excess for a given individual is a hard question.
You're quite right about needing stimulus to grow, but the statement was about maintenance.
This right here. I would eat 3500-4000 Cals a day and LOSE 5 to 10 lbs over the course of field season.
When I worked a physical job outside in cold weather (sub-freezing temps) it was closer to 7-8,000 calories per day and I would still lose 5-10 lbs in 3 months.
I put it back on in the spring.
Then lost it again in the summer as the heat suppressed my appetite.
Then gained it back in the fall as the temperatures were more pleasant.
And repeat...
What kind of work? 8k calories is fucking insane. I can't even visualize that. That's like 8 big mac meals or something. how do you even fit that in you?
i ate way more at a desk job than a construction job.
It's amazing what being able to afford food does to your diet /s
Don't give the corporate shills any more ideas.
i made more in construction honestly
I did some manual labory jobs when I was younger. Most of my co-workers subsisted entirely on coffee and cigarettes. No one in those jobs was over thirty, though.
Virtually nobody in industrialized nations have protein deficiency, and when they do, it's more of a symptom of general starvation.
By contrast, 97% of Americans do not meet even the minimum daily requirements for fiber, which is already considered too low of a bar.
We should not be asking where we get our protein - because seriously, if you are eating any reasonable balance of actual food, and getting enough calories, you are getting enough protein!*
We should be asking: Where are you getting your fiber?
* not counting fitness specialists whose diets have more specific needs.
As someone who works from home with an office job, and is also on a health journey, I'm firmly on the side of team protein. I'm working on losing weight, and am watching my protein and fiber intake closely so that my body doesn't eat muscle instead of fat. Also protein and fiber keep you satiated longer, so you're less likely to overeat at your sedentary desk job. While the protein craze IS a bit overboard, I think most office workers would be better off if they got more protein, especially from plant-based sources which also contain fiber. Most Americans at least aren't getting enough fiber, and beans are fucking delicious, versatile and cheap!
As someone also losing weight despite my watch maybe (or not?) accurately saying I was walking about 10 miles a day at work...
bruh I know "family size" salad kits are supposed to feed 6 but that's my food for a day why I fat still that like 800 calories wtf
Beverage of choice is water this makes no sense
