Coworker: “I’m on a keto diet, I’ve been having 6 eggs for breakfast everyday”

Me: “Wow, that sounds taxing on your liver, maybe check your plan with a doctor nutritionist”

Coworker: “Yes, it was my gym nutritionist who designed the diet, I also do protein shakes”

    true, though in lifting populations or people looking to “maximize gains”, theres some research on higher protein intakes being better for that goal, but like you said for most people it really doesnt matter much and they very likely dont need to be chugging protein all day

    even in people who subscribe to the “maximizing gains” goal i think they tend to hyper analyze and lose the forest for the trees where theyd probably be better off not stressing about it as much and more productive reining in other variables instead

    personally i just try to get as much as i can every day then go to sleep at the end of the day, its a peaceful life
