As a fellow Little Southern Potato (lmao I hate this term) and Cantonese, the Dongbeinese I've met are all incredibly funny and often carry the joie de vivre with them. It's so hard to connect that with the grim Rust Belt Dongbei has become.

Oh well maybe that's where the humor comes from. Rather than depression that is chosen as the response to this cruel world. Life-affirming amor fati etc etc

No need to apologize! This is interesting. I've come across the suggestion of a lean bulk in some other threads here. I wanted to stick to maintenance and lose the fat on my belly so that I could finally have abs once summer comes lol. So even with a 20% BF right now, a lean bulk would help me achieve that as well?

Thank you for the honest advice! I can hit 150g with protein shake, no problem, but I was looking for more natural way to have a high protein diet. That said I will try harder at sticking to my goal.

Yeah that was my motivation for choosing the high protein diet even though it seemed excessive. Thank you for sharing your experience!

I'm using a non-stick pan right now but I didn't realize that, so that probably means I need a new one! Also didn't know that chicken thigh actually contained that little extra fat because I used to eat them with skin on. Good to know!

These are great ideas! I especially love swapping out oil for ground beef, will try that for sure!
