The importance of protein seems to exaggerated. Protein for muscle recovery doesn’t even seem that important. When you have a good workout, you deplete glycogen stores in the muscles. The muscles then start to suck up glucose in the blood to refill the muscles causing them to grow. Protein may be the least valuable while fiat science tells you to keep eating dry chicken breasts.

You do still need more protein when lifting, as everyone does lose some through nitrogen loss at baseline.

Yeah for sure but I’m just not going to go crazy with it like I used to. Protein powder is a scam.
