>Look up how much protein you can eat in a day
>Turns out that there's research suggesting that you can only really utilize 30g of protein every 2-3 hours
:02_learn: Switching from drinking 2 drinks with 2 scoops of protein powder to drinking 4 drinks with 1 scoop of protein powder a day then. Very cool.

@GoodBoyUV @ceo_of_monoeye_dating Slight kidney irritation if you go too big on protein for too long isn't there? You'd probably make up for it by not eating as much shitty food in the process

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating 230-240g on average (there's no upper limit)

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating This has been deboonked, you can eat 100g at least in one sitting and your body will still use all of it slowly over the course of the day

@GoodBoyUV Oh, interesting. You're big, so I'm going to believe you.
How much protein do you eat a day, by the way?

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating Isn't casein slower to digest and kind of the cheat for that?

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating @BowsacNoodle If you're a normal person it isn't worth worrying about. You can get a few percent better muscle synthesis if you do the medically perfect protein spiking throughout the day. You don't get the same effect with slow digesting proteins because your body basically just reaches homeostasis after a single initial spike. You're going to get much better improvement by improving your lifting than micromanaging diet unless you're already 300 pounds of muscle.

@BowsacNoodle Ah, I've been using whey protein. Looking it up, it seems like the casein proteins are like that but the whey proteins aren't.
Maybe if I switch to a casein protein then, I can just not worry about it?

@Zettour @BowsacNoodle Sure, but I'm sort of in a beginner-intermediate phase where I'm going to happily take advice about small habits that helps me improve. My body has basically completely changed over the last year and I'm learning a lot about how to take care of it in ways that I didn't know before. I really do want to know as much as I can to improve myself, even if it's a little bit.
