Eating 76 kilograms of protein seems slightly excessive, would change my body drastically no doubt. /s

I was going to say the same thing. I can’t imagine the shits that would give you.

Probably wouldn’t get to that point, it would be like in Seven where Gluttony’s insides burst.

They might be referencing the rough math for daily protein consumption. It works out to about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight for men and half a gram per pound for women.
Or they could be a bat

why did you mix grams and pounds
UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 6 months ago
A gram per pound is overshooting it quite a bit unless you’re a vegan not minding your protein quality intake. The maximum effective protein intake is ~1.6g/kg (0.72g/lbs), more than that will just go to “waste” (energy/energy storage). If you’re steroids the limit is higher, but there’s currently no exact number on it.

Yes, if you eat your body weight every day, you will be dead. That’s a drastic change to your body.

Eat a single handful of Oleander leaves with a cupful of any drink you wish.
Your body will change DRASTICALLY.

I think he meant to say 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. I see this referenced a bit. Still funny to imagine eating that much though.

Cattle mutilations attributed to UFOs are actually just this guy trying to get his protein
KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 6 months ago
That's the amount you need so protein intake doesn't limit your muscle growth
when you’re taking steroids

100 push-ups
100 sit-ups
100 squats
10km run

As long as you are ok being bald
Event_Horizon@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I already have the bald part so the rest seems like a general improvement.
GraniteM@lemmy.world 6 months ago
And no air conditioning! Even in the summer!
UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Ah yes, kidney damage and cancer.
KillerTofu@lemmy.world 6 months ago
But what a change!
nifty@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Changed right to being dead, how transformative

Why is this not ratio’d moment…

So I did a quick number crunch on this: To get to about 75kg of protein per day, let’s say you only eat lean turkey and drink protein shakes, you’d need 200kg of turkey and 200L of protein shake.
You could probably make this intake more efficient, but however it goes in, I don’t think my body would like me eating 370,000 calories per day.
Gloomy@mander.xyz 6 months ago
But eating 370,000 calories per day WOULD change your body drasticall.
Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 6 months ago
You’re not wrong! I could probably eat 365,000 less calories and still drastically change my body.
Malgas@beehaw.org 6 months ago
I wonder what he actually meant. 1g/kg maybe? That would be 125% of the RDA, which I don’t know if it’s a good idea but it’s certainly more reasonable than…that.
meteorswarm@beehaw.org 6 months ago
A common, reasonably evidence based, protein target for bodybuilding is 1-2 g/kg, with the cursed unit of 1g/lb being about the upper limit of what’s useful. That’s probably what this post is referencing.
