[…] I asked the man behind the counter if the Steak Nuggets were such a hasty retreat because they were unpopular with his diners. He said the following: “Well, we were one of the last stores to have those things, because nobody bought ’em.”

    Beans are great, but you need to eat 7 cups of beans, ~1.75 Litres of beans to get 100g of protein.

    Even if you’re vegetarian there are better sources of protein then that.

      Noone is saying get all your protein from beans. Maybe 25 grams from beans is doable, then have some yogurt, some whole wheat pasta/bread stuff, a few eggs. Variety in your diet and whole foods are more important than hitting specific macros as you get a good range of micronutrients, fibre and your gut microbiome is happier.

      I could probably handle a handle of beans in a day, but I’m not sure if it’ll go as well if I keep forgetting to pour out the vodka before beaning the handle

            Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were questioning the nutritional density of beans.

            In any case, I haven’t done the literature review on this, but just based on literature I’ve encountered on the matter (ranging from scientific papers to pop-sci articles), everything that recommends a lower intake also specifies that they’re recommendations for the average sedentary person. If you have any sources to share that contradict this, please do share. I think I’m going to do a proper lit review on this soon, so it’ll be a good addition.

        Lmao, stop projecting bro. You’re so social media pilled that because rfk likes protein, you reactionarily think protein is bad.

        Educate yourself on the very basics of nutrition, and then go touch some grass.

            And you’re definitely so simple minded that you need to put people in buckets.

                Lmfao you don’t even understand the analogy.

                Cite your source on protein needs or shut the fuck up.

      Nobody needs 100 fucking grams of protein in one day, even if you’re exercising you’ll still shit half of that out because your body can’t absorb that much.

        The standard Daily Recommended Allowance for protein intake is ~0.83g / kg body weight. I.e. that is the minimum amount of protein you need to eat every day to maintain your basic nutrition, which for a 180lb person is about 70g of protein per day, at minimum.

        You need more it you’re an older adult, and you need close to double that if you’re an athlete trying to gain muscle.
