The best thing about this protein craze is almost everyone gets enough anyways and the body excretes excess protein so the cheapest and easiest way to get extra protein is to drink a gymbro’s piss.
Its sterile and I like the taste.
I know this is all jokes, but just to stop the perpetual piss is sterile thing, it’s absolutely not sterile
Yeah, a lot of people suffer from bladder infections. Would increase their life quality if it was indeed sterile.
Somehow bladder infections are a thing and people think your piss pouch can be simultaneously infected and sterile.
Do people actually believe that?
Yeah probably
Yup. I’ve heard people say this growing up. I also saw it on tv on a medical show. The doctor was operating on someone and pissed and when people looked at him in shock. He just said “What? It’s sterile. It’s just pee.” Or some shit like that.
People will believe anything if you repeat it long enough.
I know you’re joking but urine should not contain any protein in a healthy body.
So you choose option #2? 😂
You make a surprisingly salient point, sir
I did the math recently and I think that in order to hit what the WHO considers the minimum safe protein for my weight, I would have to eat WAY more, like twice what I typically do.
This may be a vegan-specific problem.
It’s not a vegan problem. It’s a food selection problem.
I’m vegan and I eat plenty of protein. More than most non vegans
It’s a vegan problem in that it can be a problem for vegans, not that it’s a problem for all vegans.
Sure. It can be a problem for anyone, including vegans. Vegan does not save you from bad food choices
If I may ask, what is your target grams per day of protein?
According to this calculator I should be eating 53g protein per day.
As someone who needs to lose weight, that calculator says my who minimum safe protein is 113 g/day. As a carnivore, I don’t see how I do this on most days.
I call bs on the claim that most of us get too much protein. Overweight people are less likely to and plant eaters are less likely to.
The muscle building community recommendations are based on insufficient evidence and are likely too high. I do believe those following them likely to get excessive protein their body can’t use but I don’t see how that generalizes to “most people”
As a carnivore, I don’t see how I do this on most days.
450g of beef/chicken per day (if you eat 3x a day thats 150g per meal)
As someone who needs to lose weight
consider low carb, its highly effective and can prioritize protein at the same time.
I don’t really think everyone who eats meat does three full portions a day
Fair, I myself only eat once a day, so there is a ton a variability out there. Most people probably eat 6-8 times per day (breakfast, snack, drink, snack, lunch, etc)… but 3 a day seems to be the commonly accepted “normal” pattern
It says I should be eating between 67 and 200+ g of protein, because of how much I exercise it should probably be like 150+ and I’m definitely not eating enough protein.
Drink Bean smothies
Only the nitrogen is excreted. The body converts the rest into glucose then fat. So the excess protein in everything is literally making us fatter and more unhealthy!

Protein itself doesn’t spike insulin significantly, making it very difficult to gain fat on protein alone. A protein only meal wont drive weight gain. 1 - it’s very satiating so its hard to over eat (especially if the protein is combined with fat i.e. a fatty cut of meat). 2 - Even huge boluses of protein when people force feeding themselves don’t spike glucose.
What is driving weight gain is many people are consuming excessive amounts of carbohydrates, which spike insulin for 2-4 hours, which puts the fat cells in storage only mode. If someone is eating carb heavy proteins to hit their RDA, yes they will gain weight, but that isn’t the fault of protein.
Update: as a illustration of this, its known that if someone only eats lean meat exclusively they will die, this is called rabbit starvation, documented all the way back to the Roman Spanish campaigns. What they don’t do is get fat!
If you’re older this is not true. Near all of the older people i know need protein supplemented.
🤣 I do it to keep weight on so what puzzles me is people who drink protein drinks to lose weight. My diet plan is pretty simple (it’s just a basic hierarchy of choices):
- eat the option with the most fiber
- that being equal, eat the option with the most protein
- THAT being equal, eat the thing with the highest polyunsaturated fat
- after that, eat the thing that tastes best and has the least uncomplicated carbohydrates
- eat the thing with the least trans fat
I usually don’t even get past #2 and very rarely past 3.
Protein makes you sated much more quickly than carbs, so a protein rich diet compliments losing weight.
also causes flatulence, lower gut mobility, skews the microbiome.
I have significant concerns about the protein diet fad and the increase of colon cancer in younger people.
Sugar should be avoided, but a balanced diet is important.

As people with colostomy bags will show you (if you ask nicely) protein and fat do not make it into the intestines, and do not cause flatulence.
skews the microbiome.
This is true, the microbiome is highly adjustable, and will tailor itself to whatever food your consuming.

If your talking about carnivore, please note that protein does not go up on a meat based diet, its the fat that increases. Take the standard macros (15% protein roughly) and replace the carbohydrates with fats.
As far as cancer goes, there is no credible link between protein consumption and cancer. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/red-meat#cancer
Try cumin and other herbs like savory if you suffer from flatulence. If you don’t like cumin, eat it every day and increase the amount over time. The distinct flavor will decrease as your taste adapts to it.
Maybe good protein, though protein shakes are often going to come with extra calories and junk that most people don’t need to add to their diet anyways.
Especially if they’re using a milk base or adding chocolate/etc to make tastier shakes. It’s pretty damn easy to drink a surprising amount of calories. Milk can be more calories than beer by volume, for example.
Nobody should be drinking those to lose weight, because weight lifting to the point of needing extra protein is very much a way to gain mass, and doing both at once(gain mass and slim up) is extremely hard. Weight lifting being the most obvious way someone might actually need extra protein.
Other exercise, outside of extreme situations, doesn’t need extra-high protein intake, so it’s just excessive. Especially for lower intensity exercise that someone looking to slim up should be doing more of.
Also with how much extra junk a lot of those protein powders/bars/etc come with, it’s just ill advised. Sugar, cholesterol, carbs, etc. Some are really bad choices in general vs just eating a normal meal.
My doc says I need to build muscle mass to fix my shoulder and protein helps so I’m one of the few who needs it and I don’t really buy into the craze.
That’s because almost everyone eats too much (bad) stuff.
If you are on a cut, you have to select your food wisely in order to get enough protein while still maintaining the cut.
Also, it is wiser to eat too much protein than limit your gains due to a shortage in protein. Imagine working out and not getting the additional reward for the additional set because you eat too little protein.
That’s why you should drink the piss bro.
I’ve read this stated before and I don’t see how it’s true.
- us RDA is based on weight and we’re a fat country. It looks like I’d need to eat 5 chicken breasts/day. Unless there’s a lot of hidden protein in my diet, That never happens
- most of this is backlash against gymbro recommendation with much higher protein levels to build muscle, that’s not really evidence based. Sure the specific levels are questionable but it does makes sense that some amount more is better: maybe I need to eat 6 chicken breasts in a day if I started exercising . That also never happens

There is literature supporting this should be your ideal body weight rather then total weight for obese people (i.e. based on your non-fat mass)
A complicating factor is the guidelines are calibrated for people eating poorly digested non-complete proteins, must labels for protein are based on crude protein - a rough nitrogen estimate, not actual amino acid measurements. If your eating 100g of beef protein vs 100g of wheat protein you are getting very different levels of meaningful protein.
Uric acid wants to have a word.
neodymium magnet
This. The actual tool is dead simple, just a plastic bar with a magnet and a couple of little plastic nubbins to help line it up in the right place.
…It’s also only $15 on Amazon, so it should pay for itself pretty quickly
Just steal one on your way out.
just shopslifted it from amazon, now im eating good on protien bars
Bezos hates this one simple trick
If you ate protein bars you could just smash them open with your hands, at least that’s how I understand protein works 🤔
Do you even eat candy bars brah?
ICP wrote a song about it. Nobody knows how they work though.
ICP still remains unexplained, true
Magnets
Ya and you can easily buy the tool for them on eBay or a normal strong magnet if you know it’s needed.
I think LPL has a video in these. All you need is a strong magnet to operate the latching mechanism from the outside
The actual tool uses two magnets to unlock the mechanism and allow you to slide the tab.
On the wider ones, the heel of your shoe to the center top of the clear plastic will cause it to bow and open up.
Is this loss?
Loss prevention
Tried to see it but it doesn’t quite fit
I wonder how expensive those containers are in order to offset the loss
Like a dollar or less in bulk.
Cashiers remove them so they can be reused.
grenade
Are they really that expensive?
I imagine it has more to do with money density, e.g. dollars per cubic inch. If you sold gold bars, making them huge limits the amount that someone can sneak out under their trenchcoat.
What the absolute fuck?
Tool called hammer 🔨👀
They seek to keep us weak
i really cant tell if this is very good satire or real.
All I know is that the thumbnail looks like a Portal map.
