@mybridges We don't have boneless chicken thighs 😄. Yeah def could wheigh the bones after eating. I just ment its a bit hard to make a general statement. My assumption was that some might have more / less bone / meat weight. The cheapest chicken thigh I can get is 9$ per kg. So if we estimate...

@mybridges Its kinda hard calculating cost of 1g protein for a chicken leg. There are a lot of bones in them. The cheapest chicken breast I can get where I live cost 15.66 per kg which has 250g protein. So 15.66 / 250 = 0.062. I can get 1kg whey with 750g protein for 35.1. So 35.1 / 750 =...

@lauren19m Yeah thats true. Whey is pretty much the cheapest protein source (at least in europe and north america)

@lauren19m you don't have to drink whey to consume enough protein

@dawn16 Eating protein causes MTOR (muscle building) signaling. But MTOR also grows cancer cells. So generally anything (like strength training) that causes MTOR signaling is theoretically detrimental to longevity. To me it seems like the positive of MTOR signaling outweighs the negatives. Being...

@bronsontaur I believe you that you didn't notice a difference. But this is not science just anecdotal. Is there really a big downside for you to eat 0.8 vs 0.5? I personally wouldn't want to risk it. For what? Training hours in the gym and then not eating enough protein seems silly.

@dawn16 Read up on MEV, MRV etc. 6 sets a week will be minimum effektiv volume if even. But totally depends on person, training experience, age, muscle. A small muscle doesn't need 20 sets. Thats why its silly when people do 20 sets biceps a week. For example my MEV on triceps is 4 sets, MRV 20...

@idk332 You consider 15 weeks a mini cut? Is this just because you are used to ~27-36 week contest preps? A traditional mini cut is 3-5 weeks loosing about 1% bw a week.

@jmunxong17 Exactly. If you go 6x a week 1-1.5(max) will be plenty. 6-9 hours of weekly volume. Of course houres in the gym is a poor metric of volume since some might take 5+ min phone breaks 😂 but lets assume people are not doing this. If you go 3x a week and are advanced, you pretty much have...
