@bogle People are way over obsessed with protein it drives me crazy. I’m 5’9” 150ish and eat 80-90 grams per day, I’m obviously not a big dude but I’m stronger than 99% of people my height/weight and could easily gain more muscle just by eating more. Protein is almost never the limiting factor

@pheadablessed FYI 2.2g/kg (1g/lb) is an overabundance, studies have never consistently shown benefit above 0.7g/lb but lots of people recommend 1g/lb because it’s an easy number and people like to take an overabundance for some reason.

@jszy04 I find it pretty easy to get 80-100g protein without any protein powder or specific “protein” foods like tofu or seitan. My breakfast is soy yogurt with hemp hearts, chia seeds, and flaxseed + 2 different types of fruit. 40g of protein right there. Can have pita and veggies plus hummus...

@sharkbait13 Everything in those links is backed by scientific studies that are linked on the pages. You said that insulin resistance starts by ingesting sugars which spikes your blood glucose but that’s not true. Insulin resistance only happens in the presence of fat in and around your cells...

@missionaryadvocate I eat around 3000 kcal daily as a raw vegan and try to limit my fats to 10% of kcal. That means the vast majority of my calories come from fruit with lots of fresh veggies and minimal nuts/seeds. I end up getting 130-150g of fiber most days. It took me 3 weeks or so to start...

@mick777 Not responding is the right move there I think. I once gave a girl my number like that and she texted me later saying she was flattered but taken.. literally all my guy and girl friends told me that meant she was probably interested

@jesuspleasesaveme That’s like saying Coca Cola has carbohydrates, therefore it’s not empty calories or that oil has fat, therefore it’s not empty calories. Your body needs protein, carbs, and fat but any of them alone in the absence of micronutrients is what most people would define as empty...

@all4hisglory Getting your calories from whole foods will ALWAYS beat getting them from processed foods. I’ll probably get downvoted for this but protein powder is just empty calories. Whole plant foods are typically loaded with nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and phytochemicals, whereas protein...
