The best thing about this protein craze is almost everyone gets enough anyways and the body excretes excess protein so the cheapest and easiest way to get extra protein is to drink a gymbro's piss.

Its sterile and I like the taste.

[–] zer0hour@lemmy.world 46 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I know this is all jokes, but just to stop the perpetual piss is sterile thing, it's absolutely not sterile

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Somehow bladder infections are a thing and people think your piss pouch can be simultaneously infected and sterile.

[–] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 10 points 5 days ago

Yeah, a lot of people suffer from bladder infections. Would increase their life quality if it was indeed sterile.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Do people actually believe that?

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 days ago

Yup. I've heard people say this growing up. I also saw it on tv on a medical show. The doctor was operating on someone and pissed and when people looked at him in shock. He just said "What? It's sterile. It's just pee." Or some shit like that.

People will believe anything if you repeat it long enough.

I know you're joking but urine should not contain any protein in a healthy body.

[–] areakode@riskeratspizza.com 23 points 6 days ago

So you choose option #2? 😂

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I did the math recently and I think that in order to hit what the WHO considers the minimum safe protein for my weight, I would have to eat WAY more, like twice what I typically do.

This may be a vegan-specific problem.

[–] jumponboard@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's not a vegan problem. It's a food selection problem.

I'm vegan and I eat plenty of protein. More than most non vegans

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's a vegan problem in that it can be a problem for vegans, not that it's a problem for all vegans.

[–] jumponboard@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Sure. It can be a problem for anyone, including vegans. Vegan does not save you from bad food choices

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 19 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Beans and lentils are your friend.

If I may ask, what is your target grams per day of protein?

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

According to this calculator I should be eating 53g protein per day.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

As someone who needs to lose weight, that calculator says my who minimum safe protein is 113 g/day. As a carnivore, I don’t see how I do this on most days.

I call bs on the claim that most of us get too much protein. Overweight people are less likely to and plant eaters are less likely to.

The muscle building community recommendations are based on insufficient evidence and are likely too high. I do believe those following them likely to get excessive protein their body can’t use but I don’t see how that generalizes to “most people”

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

As a carnivore, I don’t see how I do this on most days.

450g of beef/chicken per day (if you eat 3x a day thats 150g per meal)

As someone who needs to lose weight

consider low carb, its highly effective and can prioritize protein at the same time.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't really think everyone who eats meat does three full portions a day

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Fair, I myself only eat once a day, so there is a ton a variability out there. Most people probably eat 6-8 times per day (breakfast, snack, drink, snack, lunch, etc).. but 3 a day seems to be the commonly accepted "normal" pattern

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Breakfast - 2 eggs == 12g protein

Lunch - pbj == 7g protein

Dinner - chicken breast == 31g protein

It seems to me my typical day is 50-60g protein, which is way lower than any recommendation 🙁

While I have no pretensions to being “typical”, if I get half the recommended protein in a day, yeah I have a problem believing the claim that most people get too much

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 2 points 4 days ago

Oh yeah. Totally agree. Most people have a huge protein problem. Hence the widespread B12 deficiency problems.

It says I should be eating between 67 and 200+ g of protein, because of how much I exercise it should probably be like 150+ and I'm definitely not eating enough protein.

You make a surprisingly salient point, sir

[–] jumponboard@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's because almost everyone eats too much (bad) stuff.

If you are on a cut, you have to select your food wisely in order to get enough protein while still maintaining the cut.

Also, it is wiser to eat too much protein than limit your gains due to a shortage in protein. Imagine working out and not getting the additional reward for the additional set because you eat too little protein.

That’s why you should drink the piss bro.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 13 points 5 days ago

If you’re older this is not true. Near all of the older people i know need protein supplemented.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago

My doc says I need to build muscle mass to fix my shoulder and protein helps so I'm one of the few who needs it and I don't really buy into the craze.

[–] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 days ago (6 children)

🤣 I do it to keep weight on so what puzzles me is people who drink protein drinks to lose weight. My diet plan is pretty simple (it's just a basic hierarchy of choices):

  • eat the option with the most fiber
  • that being equal, eat the option with the most protein
  • THAT being equal, eat the thing with the highest polyunsaturated fat
  • after that, eat the thing that tastes best and has the least uncomplicated carbohydrates
  • eat the thing with the least trans fat

I usually don't even get past #2 and very rarely past 3.

[–] Damarus@feddit.org 18 points 6 days ago (11 children)

Protein makes you sated much more quickly than carbs, so a protein rich diet compliments losing weight.

Only the nitrogen is excreted. The body converts the rest into glucose then fat. So the excess protein in everything is literally making us fatter and more unhealthy!

I know you think you're trying to make piss-drinking happen, but it's not going to happen.
