[...] 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.”

Tell me you're influenced by social media without telling me you're influenced by social media.

Or you can just look at the nutritional information for beans?

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Does the can of beans tell you you need 100g of protein? Musta missed that...

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

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.

Oh yeah you're definitely a gym bro. Even the way you type is cliché.

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

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You put yourself in the bucket, I'm just pointing to it.

Lmfao you don't even understand the analogy.

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