I ask because I have gone from 10lbs raw weight a week to now 3-4lbs of raw weight with no noticeable drop off in my performance in the gym. It’s actually gotten better (I attribute this to my variety in my diet with a ton of veggies and my focus on lentils and healthy fats to increase my carbs).
I’m basically turning into a vegan who eats meat as well haha.
Just curious what you guys are eating week in and week out.
I wish my stomach could handle that much protein. 150ish is the max before I really start feeling uncomfortable. ~130g seems to be the sweet spot for me.
Damn I can’t even imagine eating that much meat lol.
I’ve noticed a lot of people can’t. I think because the staples in the countries foods are white rice, lentils, and all sort of pickled veggies. Meat is a “bonus”. I’ve noticed high carb/moderate fat/moderate protein, if I eat like that, I have absolutely no issues with my stomach or body.
I have no idea what that is, I’m going to read about this later today.
220g of protein a day, but only half of that comes from meat. Protein shakes, yogurt, some cottage cheese, and tons of greens plus eggs every morning make up the rest.
0-12oz of meat a day. Roughly 100-120g of protein a day, and I’m 190.
Most of my protein comes from lentils, dairy, and eggs. Sometimes I’ll have two 4-6oz servings a day between lunch and dinner. Other days, I’ll have eggs one meal, and 4-6oz the other meal. Sometimes, I wont have any meat and it’ll be eggs and dairy all day.
Breakfast for me is always Greek or Icelandic yogurt with butter/coffee (I won’t call it bulletproof because mine isn’t frothy and I don’t use MCT oil). Pre-Workout is Pasta and Marinara, sometimes cheese (a serving of Pasta is like 8g - 13-15 if you add enough cheese). If I’m feeling lazy I’ll have croissants or fruit.
My issue with meat is that it feels too heavy in my stomach, as if it’s there too long and I can’t work up an appetite for my next meal. I’ve seen articles talking about eating your protein first to limit your appetite, and that’s what happens - I don’t feel like eating carbs afterwards.
I dont know the exact amount but i eat 4 or 5 meat meals a week. I also eat only 3 whole eggs a week. Like soulfighter most of my protein comes from low fat dairy, beans, lentils and grains. I can eat the entire pot of green lentils without zero discomfort. I think i am %75 vegetarian.
I generally have some sort of animal protein with every meal, but not particularly huge portions. If we’re talking just meat itself, not including eggs or milk, I’d say I eat less than 1 lbs per day. If you add in other sources of animal protein, though, that number goes up, as I drink around a half gallon of milk every day. For my own purposes, I generally lump most animal proteins together when I consider the nutrition I’m getting.
Nice, love cheeseburgers, unfortunately I often grab 3 double or triple cheeseburgers from either Mcdonalds, Carls Jr, or Burger King and throw the buns out. I’ll just eat 4 or 5 beef patties with some rice. I’m struggling to gain size at 163lbs and 6’ tall so i’m not worried about it. Other than that it’s chicken, eggs, greek yogurt etc. Of course I gotta throw in a nice steak on the bbq once a week.
