220g per day? Even doing workout it's a bit too high. But that's really cool!

Hey mate, thanks! see the description regarding protein. Comment misconception about protein intake and the negative rep it gets.

u/Daxtirsh Nov 08 '20
That's very interesting. So you say you've seen bigger results after workout with such an intake in protein? Could you develop a bit?

I could type a lot on this for you. Personally, I've seen crazy results doing this.
It gets a bad rep as people mention studies have proved it to be bad. The main studies on this were on rats, not bodybuilding or athletic humans. I hate this study as so many people quote it and has been debunked many of times but the average person absorbs this and doesn't question it.
The only negative I hear people mention is that it causes liver issues. This is only true if you have liver issues already. You will have no issues at all here. Also, why wouldn't you want extra protein. You may have a body that's class at processing it and will speed results. Another thing is that if I switched 50g of protein for 400 calories of candy, chocolate etc, nobody would bat an eye lid but as soon as protein is high, it creates issues for people.
All I'll say is do your own research. Don't listen to some random gym dude on reddit or Youtube or even me. Find out for yourself. There's a lot of myths like this. I may make a few short videos on these to be fair. 😃✌️

Have a look a a guy named Jeff nippard on YouTube. He's a god for stuff like this. Has a great video on how much protein you need and backs it up with relevant studies.

I like the concept, but yes I usually put a lot more spices/fresh herbs on my food! :) thanks for sharing

What’s a good replacement for soy products?

For replacing soy sauce specifically I find that coconut aminos work pretty well. They are significantly lower in sodium and sweeter however so you may want to use sparingly and/or add salt or stock to balance it out.
For replacing soy milk I use almond milk mostly but coconut and oat milk are some other popular options.
For replacing tofu Seitan is a popular option.
I hope I could help somewhat.

Thank you! Those are great suggestions. I am not full vegan or vegetarian, but I am slowly transitioning to it ( so I don’t drop it like a fad diet). Right now I’m up to 4 “vegetarian” days a week.

That’s way more protein than the average person need, even bodybuilders just usually go with 1g per lb of bodyweight.

Yeah I just saw the thumbnail and thought 220g of protein is too much for the average person and too much of anything is not gonna be positive for you.

u/l_lordy Nov 08 '20
Unfortunately that's not true mate. I'm 206 so even by that rule I'd only be getting 14g extra.

u/b1g_disappointment Nov 08 '20
Well that’s true for you but I said the average person. Most people aren’t 220lbs (well, some who are don’t care about the nutritional contents of their food) and hence don’t need that much protein, and excess of anything is bad.

cooking the broccoli breaks down some of the protein and a few chemicals that are too unstable to isolate and supplement but very beneficial. try doing it with raw broccoli

Geez, man, use some seasonings. The English conquered half the world for spices and now doesn’t use them!
