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”

    I heard Hasan say on stream he aims to eat 200+ grams of protein a day and the guy he was with (who I think is a dr?) agreed with that and I knows he’s a big guy but my vegan ass feels like those #’s are crazy

      Hasan is tall and carries a ton of muscle, very plausible he’s over 200 edit:lbs and 1g of protein per edit:lb of bodyweight is common for someone who wants to be muscular and lifts a lot. It’s usually a pretty tedious diet if nothing else

      Dr. Mike Israetel?

      Idk much about him but I think someone on here said he believes in Race Science. He has a PHD in something though so yes he is a doctor of some kind.

      The general consensus ranges from 0.8-1.2 grams of protein per pound you weigh. I don’t track my macros since I’m lazy and also I haven’t gone to the gym in a month due to an injury.

      Protein supplementation has gotten pretty good recently, there’s protein lemonades made from whey isolate that are pretty much only getting their calories from the protein itself, and using artificial sweeteners for the flavor.

      It does get taxing to eat it all, but I eat vegetarian every day except for when I visit my parents, and it isn’t too hard getting enough in to see gains being made
