    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.

        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

      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.
