It's quite challenging to ingest 150+ grams of protein per day, especially when you restrict your eating to a 6 hour window.

Any good reason not to get 100g of it from protein powder?

If it's soy you get tits apparently

It’s a myth! There is more estrogen in beer than in soy products!

Animal protein is much higher quality 👌

Hempseed protein has more protein per serving than beef + a lot more nutrients!

Good point 🤙

The best reason I can come up with is protein powder tastes like poo

Whey is the best source of protein and it's a great way to get high-quality protein without consuming carbs and fat. Convenient and cost-efficient too. Why not get it from powder?

Nothing wrong with using protein powder as a matter of convenience to reach your daily protein goal. Whole food will always be better because you can hit your micronutrient needs better, but if that's not feasible, protein powder is fine.

Perhaps the absorption rate. Have you ever considered less frequent longer fasts? Like fasting 1-3 days once ever week or 2?

Hempseed Protein 🤙🏻👌🏻💪🏻

Beans.

Protein powder is like smoking shatter or resin when you could be smoking rosin

I like it, I like to use creatine and glutamine too.

Make your own dehydrated beef protein powder and of course make sure it’s the best beef you can get from your local farmer.

Extremely easy on carnivore.

If your window is in the evening, buy some casein protein powder. It’ll digest more slowly than weigh protein. I’ve always taken casein at night for that reason.

For me… because it will destroy my stomach. (Protein powder)

I disagree with not being able to comfortably get down 160g in a 6-8hrs window… when your strength training it will increase your metabolism… after about 4-6 weeks.

Because the ultra processed protein powders are loaded with deuterium. This is why they get picked up by airport scanners if you pack in carry on.

It’s really not that hard. 1.5 lbs of lean meat that’s it

i do that each meal then i fight my family until they surrender.

Just eat 1.4 pounds of pemmican 😉

I do two scoops whey, two scoops collagen, and creatine for the first meal. Gets me almost half way there.

Creative is a must.

Tbh, it is a pain in the ass trying to get enough protein. I use powder daily to top up.

My total caloric intake consists of about 40-50% from protein which is about 180-190grams. I also only have a 6-8 hour feeding window. Only 30 of those grams come from a protein shake. Lunch has about 60 grams of protein and dinner has about 85.

If I’m crunched for time and can’t make a good meal, I’ll have 2 x 30 gram shakes. I feel it’s always best to get protein from natural, nutrient dense foods as often as I can.

Why would you eat something synthetic? It’s like eating at McDonalds trying to stay healthy …just saying 🤷🏻‍♂️

Totaly ok. A few steps forward is matrix, there you do not need to eat or go to the toilet. Everything is handled by outside.

Try get it from unconventional light protein sources such as sprouts/seeds cant really count them as meal so no problem with 6 hour window 😉

Ancient Nutrition makes a vanilla protein powder made from bone broth. 26g.

I make a smoothie with it with 3 eggs 19g, full fat yogurt 25g. A little heavy whipping cream and a handful of frozen blueberries.

You get about 70g right there.

Yo should eat meat without any window restriction.

Itchy anus is why you don't want to try it with a protein powder.

😂🔥🔥🔥 can't confirm or deny 🤣🤣🤣

Peter Attia says 4 meals at 25% of your daily goal each. 1 of them a shake for most large men because the total is high and hard to hit.

The best reasons to my knowledge:

* Whey protein powder can cause reactions (got acne, not sure if from it or from the sweat)

* Plant protein is not bioavailable

* Protein without fat doesn't absorb well - you don't find protein in nature alone

If you really have to I think I've seen beef protein somewhere, that should be the best source. But consider eating it with some fat.

So protein is great, incomplete protein not so much. All protein that can’t be used is broken down into glucose ultimately and that process is endometabolic, meaning it takes more energy to complete the process than the glucose will provide. Plant protein is about 70% incomplete, animal protein is about 70% complete. Glucose, no matter the source contributes to metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes eventually. I’d also read up on protein toxicity, it’s pretty rough on your kidneys. Our bodies run best on sporadic blood glucose, but mainly fat. It’s how our bodies store and retrieve energy, always has been, and likely always will be.
