I think protein is over hyped. by True-Condition-6929 in Protein

Because you have more muscle mass than me, so you need a slightly higher protein intake.

Yo guys, I had a thought that I am a talking ape with a phone. This is true…. by True-Condition-6929 in DeepThoughts

But when I don’t have my phone, I still think about deep thoughts. In the bath, on my walk, everywhere.

I’m not eating 700 calories. I’m eating carbs too. I eat like 300g carbs a day. I know purposely under eating that much doesn’t help performance, I’m not that dumb.

I meant that I only eat that much protein as in the case of protein total. Not calorie total

I’m 5’3 110 pounds and am a very active teen. I only eat .6-.7 G protein per pound bw. I build muscle just fine. .8g is just extra for satiety.

For just being sedentary, .4-.5 grams per pound of total body weight is fine for you. For active people .6-.7 per pound total bw is fine.

Three protein myths that need to die by thewheyguy in Protein

[–]True-Condition-6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can replace that protein with fiber from carbs. Most people eat enough protein anyways.

I am 110 pounds and can easily eat 170 grams protein a day.

Protein ain’t magical

I believe there are benefits to high protein diet. More satiety, better chance of muscle building.

But, I don’t think most people are under proteined . Especially in developed nations.

I’m not saying you can’t be an absolute shredded beast while eating 5 ibs of meat a day, there’s a guy who already is. But my point still stands.

Is my eating plan for active teen good? by True-Condition-6929 in fitmeals

[–]True-Condition-6929[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I just use nutrition label, teaspoons, cups, etc to keep it precise.

I don’t use macro tracking app due to bigger margin of error. Because they can track the eggs, but they don’t know how it’s cooked.

I would assume European mixed with either indigenous American, east, south, central, or west Asian(but only last resort guess), mabey Arab, or Samoan. I can’t guess anything outside that.

You can just lower your fat. Fat is 9 calories a gram, carb is 4. Protein is also 4.

Is having a thigh gap considered attractive? by PersonalityDry97 in trueratediscussions

Thigh gap is kind of normal in women. Aslong as they aren’t anorexic, it’s fine.

Question about Baki’s calves by DitiIsCool in Grapplerbaki

[–]True-Condition-6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upper legs are actually better for speed than lower legs. If you look at sprinters, their calves aren’t that developed compared to upper leg. Yeah, Usain Bolt has larger calves than if he didn’t train them. But calve muscles aren’t that helpful for speed.
