    100 g of protein

    It’s crazy seeing how out-of-touch people today are with how much protein they need. The protein craze has got people on a Western pattern diet worried they’re protein-deficient.

    This woman could use 100 grams of protein like I could use a half-carton of orange juice for Vitamin C. God damn.

      Yes and no. If you’re a fully healthy individual, new recommendation is between 1.2 and 1.6g/kg. Then there is some evidence people with one of the most common autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) benefit from high protein diet. Unfortunately, this area is severly understudied still and should be taken with a grain of salt, but it is out there. But yes, most healthy people don’t need that much protein a day.

        Says literally who?

        You’re clearly talking about the 2025–30 DGA, and it’s published by the USDA. Specifically, those 2025 guidelines are signed “This is the foundation that will Make America Healthy Again” by RFK Jr. It’s so obviously a financial response by animal agriculture and a social one by Republicans to the rise of plant-based dieting (whose health benefits can easily be numerous) that it’s excruciating.

        RFK Jr. is the same man who had an inverted pyramid introduced to the HHS. So yes, I’m going to say you’re absolutely, categorically delusional if you take those numbers at face value. By all means, though, I’m sure bear corpse is packed with protein if that’s your thing.

          I think it was on Harvard website, but they might be referencing these new guidelines you mentioned.

          Not sure why you’re being so aggressive. I’m neither delusional, nor a Republican, not even an American. I’m just trying to navigate my own poorly researched health issues, and it doesn’t help that searching in English has become unreliable due to dear Americans electing insane people into power.

            I can’t speak for them, but when I get angry and frustrated it can come through as aggressiveness, and I am very angry and frustrated with what has been done to the HHS (to say nothing of the rest of the US federal government). At this point, I would double check the source of any health claim, and ignore it if it comes from the HHS in 2025 to now. I’ll be getting my health information from the NIH or Health Canada for the time being. I don’t know that they are as well funded or reliable as the HHS has been historically, but at least the guys in charge of them are not literally insane on matters of health.

        Understudied, yes, but… it’s a very simple way to grow, at least for me - during bulk, if i manage to get my daily 250g of protein, I bulk the fuck up and I feel like a brick.

    They do actually. Sort of.

    I used to get this mix of low dose xanax LSD THC to cause cotton mouth and vitamin c. I asked and my dealer did start putting it in the form of a fiber bar instead of a gummy. I miss that jerk.

    Another would put weed butter into the BBQ sauce for his exceptional ribs.

    Its just big government at the DEA getting in the way of things we all want.

    Eh, living is overrated anyway. Just ride it out kid, it won’t last forever. And then if there’s an afterlife (probably not but we can’t be 100% sure) you can say that at least you stuck it out till the credits rolled.
