It confirmed that you need protein and provided some examples. If you want examples it’s easy to ask. It sounds like you have some diet restrictions that you’ll need to work out.
You can also see if weed improves your appetite.
Promise I get enough protein. Probably more than most meat eaters, due to the fact that I constantly think about it. I don't know my exact numbers daily but I consume a lot of whey-protein. I eat the fake meats, tofu and all of that. I do my due diligence. I even make sure to hit my daily vitamins on average per week. I even smoke weed too to help create an appetite sometimes!!
Basically, you're repeating things I already know. I told you I already knew them when I posted, and you repeated them anyway with an Appeal to Authority with the AI slop. You didn't stop to consider that perhaps this person actually wants the question they asked answered, and instead answered a much more basic question.
Hey, different person here and also with a totally unrelated point to what you two were talking about haha
But I train people in the gym and it’s incredibly common for people to be massively under eating protein while also firmly believing that they must be getting enough.
I’m not saying you are! But the pattern is always the same, where my clients will list a few foods with a “protein reputation” and sort of hand wave away the actual number. Then when we actually tally it up they’re shocked to learn they aren’t even at 30% of their daily goal.
Again not trying to insinuate that you’ve been doing anything wrong, just wanted to let you know that that’s a thing I see happen a lot. It’s worth going through a few typical days and calculating your actual number. I’m a vegetarian too fwiw, typically I suggest going like 10% higher than the general recommendation for meat eaters
FDA blanket recommends 50g/day for adults. This is the value used on nutrition labels throughout the US
Other countries I believe recommend 0.8g/kg of bodyweight. For people building muscle, the current recommendation is 1.2-1.6g/kg bodyweight (or 0.5-0.7g per pound of bodyweight)
