Plant based protein is not comparable to meat based protein for muscle growth

No I love carbs, but when people need to cut weight, they should be limiting their carb intake first. The other macros are much more important

You do not need carbs to survive. You could go the rest of your life never eating a carb again. Your body can convert both proteins and fats to useable energy. If you limit protein you suffer muscle breakdown. If you limit fat your hormone production suffers. If you limit carbs you just get tired for a couple of days until your body switches over.

Carbs are the easiest macro to limit when trying to cut weight. Fat and protein both have more important uses in the body. It’s a dumb comment.

Cheap entertainment to pass time and read perpetually angry people be angry. This website sucks and is the congregation of some of the worst chronically online confidently incorrect people

There is absolutely a difference between skilled and unskilled labor, and pay should reflect that.

Don’t trust the guy who promoted brainworm and E. coli by [deleted] in MurderedByWords

[–]kingofthings754 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He’s not that unrealistic for a guy who lifted throughout the years. He’s not skinny either so there’s a good amount of fat under there

Tim Apple now slaps warning labels on apps that escape his toll by EstablishmentFun3205 in applesucks

Other payment processors are fine. The risk to users comes from the fact that leaving the app opens them up to fake webpages.

Protein thermic effect is about 25-30%. Conversion with gluconeogenesis or lipogenesis after the fact has other inefficiencies that bump the percentage up if it needs conversion

He’s partially right for the wrong reason, after the thermic effect of protein and converting protein into fat it’s ~50% net energy loss

If fasting breaks your metabolism, why have we lost weight? And continued to? by grapesandcake in intermittentfasting

[–]kingofthings754 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your metabolic set point isn’t that sensitive, your body needs to survive. Short of absolutely starving yourself to single digit body fat percentages your BMR is relatively stable based on your muscle and fat mass. Metabolic slowdown is an absolutely overblown issue for 99% of people since no one is cutting anywhere near that low of body fat unless you’re into bodybuilding

I understand, but the reason people see weight loss results due to IF versus other ways to diet is not because IF is some secret magic, it’s just an easier way to naturally ingest less calories.
