  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. While I’ve not tried comprehensive counting, it looks like I’d need 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 but it does makes sense that some amount more is better: maybe I need to eat 6 chicken breasts in a day. That also never happens

        Yeah, a lot of people suffer from bladder infections. Would increase their life quality if it was indeed sterile.

  If you’re older this is not true. Near all of the older people i know need protein supplemented.

  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.

  Vegetarians and especially vegans need to either supplement protein or make sure to eat lots of protein-rich stuff like chickpeas.

    Wrong. Plants are protein. They eat some beans and grains that have lysine and methionine amino acids which are lower in plants.

    Those protein powders the brahs eat are from plants.

      A lot of the bro powders use whey protein which is a dairy product.

        All living life on this planet is made of protein.

        All protein is bioavailable and digested into amino acids, which are then used to build human protein. Most plants lack methionine and lysine, which is abundant in meats, but also some plants.

        I get that people are Joe Rogan educated and like to read the brightly colored plastic tubs, but a little biochemistry won’t hurt you.

  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

      Lemmy needs to know the difference between protein and amino acids in diet. All plants are protein.

        They have protein but they’re mostly composed of complex carbs like starch, fiber, and cellulose. Their actual protein content varies but in general it’s much lower than legumes

        If you’re vegetarian or vegan and don’t eat legumes, then you’re probably not getting enough protein.

    If I may ask, what is your target grams per day of protein?

    • ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      According to this calculator I should be eating 53g protein per day.

      • greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        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.

  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!

  🤣 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.

      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.
