So I did a quick number crunch on this: To get to about 75kg of protein per day, let’s say you only eat lean turkey and drink protein shakes, you’d need 200kg of turkey and 200L of protein shake.
You could probably make this intake more efficient, but however it goes in, I don’t think my body would like me eating 370,000 calories per day.
But eating 370,000 calories per day WOULD change your body drastically.
You’re not wrong! I could probably eat 365,000 less calories and still drastically change my body.
5 kcal per day would change your body drastically? Oof.
I think the above poster meant 370,000 kcal so it’s a 5 Mcal difference
I was joking by taking him literally… I would say this does not come across well in text but IRL this kind of joke also fails to land regularly
I was joking by taking you literally
Are you defining literally as literal or as figurative? I literally do not know anymore.
Hey, I don’t do macros, it’s all about nanonutrition these days.
I wonder what he actually meant. 1g/kg maybe? That would be 125% of the RDA, which I don’t know if it’s a good idea but it’s certainly more reasonable than…that.
A common, reasonably evidence based, protein target for bodybuilding is 1-2 g/kg, with the cursed unit of 1g/lb being about the upper limit of what’s useful. That’s probably what this post is referencing.
Eating 76 kilograms of protein seems slightly excessive, would change my body drastically no doubt. /s
I was going to say the same thing. I can’t imagine the shits that would give you.
Probably wouldn’t get to that point, it would be like in Seven where Gluttony’s insides burst.
That certainly is a DRASTIC change
They might be referencing the rough math for daily protein consumption. It works out to about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight for men and half a gram per pound for women.
Or they could be a bat
why did you mix grams and pounds
On US nutritional labels fats, carbs, and proteins are listed in grams, but we generally measure everything in pounds.
When calculating your macro nutrition for weight gain the general recommendation comes out to about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. This is just a coincidence, but makes finding out how much protein you need to gain muscle mass pretty easy if you know how much you weigh and given that all of our labels have that info in grams.
This is a pretty common calculation for people who track protien intake in the US, since most people weigh themselves in pounds, and most nutritional information is provided in grams.
For the same reason they still use pounds for anything.
Because my gram always makes me gain the pounds with the food she cooks :)
A gram per pound is overshooting it quite a bit unless you’re a vegan not minding your protein quality intake. The maximum effective protein intake is ~1.6g/kg (0.72g/lbs), more than that will just go to “waste” (energy/energy storage). If you’re steroids the limit is higher, but there’s currently no exact number on it.
“Energy storage” generally meaning “fat,” for the Americans in the audience.
Yes, if you eat your body weight every day, you will be dead. That’s a drastic change to your body.
Eat a single handful of Oleander leaves with a cupful of any drink you wish.
Your body will change DRASTICALLY.
I think he meant to say 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. I see this referenced a bit. Still funny to imagine eating that much though.
Cattle mutilations attributed to UFOs are actually just this guy trying to get his protein
That's the amount you need so protein intake doesn't limit your muscle growth
when you’re taking steroids
100 push-ups
100 sit-ups
100 squats
10km run
As long as you are ok being bald
I already have the bald part so the rest seems like a general improvement.
And no air conditioning! Even in the summer!
Ah yes, kidney damage, cancer and liver damage with high triglycerides.
But what a change!
Changed right to being dead, how transformative
Drastic!
Why is this not ratio’d moment…
OP’s mom looking as wet as ever.
