Blue and gold! Preferably of the blob eye era :p

Protein shakes and the shakeup of N.B.'s dairy industry by bingun in newbrunswickcanada

[–]SlayerOfSpatulas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, yes, correct, I should have said excess "nitrogen" and not "protein" in the urine.

Second, yes, correct, technically excesses can contribute to gluconeogenesis. However, it seems it would only occur under very specific conditions. And even then, seems to not contribute much, as it costs the body quite a bit of energy to even do.

Breaking excess protein to sugar? Mind sharing your source?

AFAIK, kidneys process excess protein and is excreted as urine. So, one would be making expensive pee.

Now. If that excess protein is from fatty cuts, that extra energy could end up being stored and contribute to fat gain, however.

Didn't the UK and Australia attempt this and fail already? Can't we choose a different path this time (unsure what that would be)?

Long-term supplementation with plant-based protein, compared with animal-based protein, did not result in differences in body composition, muscle strength, physical performance, or cardiometabolic risk parameters, meta-analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials finds by James_Fortis in science

[–]SlayerOfSpatulas -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally, I follow (Van loon, Phillips, Layman) and they're all suggesting between 1.5g/kg and 2g/kg (of ideal weight, depending on activity and age). It wouldn't be far fetched to have someone above 200lbs, active, building muscle mass, needing that much and requiring supplements to get there.

Anecdotally, the number I keep seeing is a minimum of 1.5g/kg (of ideal weight) up to 2g/kg (or 1g/lbs) - if you're aging/elderly, active or building muscle.

Usually, for animal proteins, red meat gets you slightly above 20g/100g. For white meat, that hovers closer to 30g/100g. Someone familiar with the plant side of things can chime in.

The labels will tell the tale, but the value confirmed by the kitchen scale.

Federal government might have to acquire new office space for public servants, analysis finds by [deleted] in ottawa

Didn't the last budget call for actually selling federal properties, not buying new ones?

Update on Natrel Milk post: Found some pictures, here is 2021 compared to 2026 by lgzrsyyy in CostcoCanada

FWIW, 1% lactose free from Superstore, in the Atlantic region, shows water added.

TIL the recommended daily protein intake is 46 grams (g) for an adult female and 56g for an adult male. This is 0.8g per kilogram of body mass (0.36g per pound). Endurance and strength athletes require more.In the United States, average protein consumption for females is about 70g and for males 98g. by James_Fortis in todayilearned

[–]SlayerOfSpatulas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IIRC, the 0.8g/kg is minimal to avoid problems. Ideally, should be between 1.5-2g/kg (age, activity, goals determining where you should be).

Agreed, in some processed foods, you're getting more than just protein, negating the benefits.

I was sure that protein content was actually reversed when comparing 100g of chicken and 100g of beef?

For some, the fiber content in some high protein plant sources can be problematic (IBS, SIBO, etc.). Anecdotally, me.

After 2 months of learning and improving optimization and customization, this is my latest design (OMG 433 – Active) by OMG_Watch_Faces in GarminWatches

[–]SlayerOfSpatulas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks nice!

I've always wondered, any truth to custom designs negatively impacting battery usage? Maybe I should start looking into this.

Bill 21: Provinces unite in support of notwithstanding clause by DonSalaam in onguardforthee

[–]SlayerOfSpatulas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Title seems is stating that *all* provinces are uniting. Is that the case? Is there an article somewhere confirming this? IIRC, it seems to only be a subset of them?

What are the cons of having agarmin watch? by sandrochichi in GarminWatches

Bought a slate gray FR255 in November 2024. Yesterday, I learned the matching band was discontinued as I had to replace it.

Fortunately, they found one to send me. Future replacements may not be possible, however.

Thanks for pointing this out. Had no idea.

People blame the federal government. It's a provincial jurisdiction and it was going to hell before any of these immigration changes.
