Eating a shit load of protein one day a week or so would kill me? HmmmYou'd make an absolutely shredded corpse.
Y'know, silver lining and all that.

This is the problem we have with modern science. How many of us had a halt in progress the moment they added lot of carbs whole process move again. I did it so many times. Like always bro science over science.You'd make an absolutely shredded corpse.

It’s not common at all because no one is just eating only boiled chicken breast day in day out for months even in a contest prep.I've heard about these stories but we don't see athletes dying despite months of dieting where they consume little or no fats and carbs. Maybe people are saved because they eat vegetables, egg whites, some protein powders and white meat? They maybe also supplement with fish oil capsules.
Rabbit is much leaner than chicken? So why isn't it a more common meat among us? Could it be that rabbit has some particularity that makes it so toxic?

P.s this is answer to a post above.
Even people like Mike Matarazzo used to basically eat meat only in the last stages of prep.It’s not common at all because no one is just eating only boiled chicken breast day in day out for months even in a contest prep.
Who are these competitors that are doing this that you’re referring to?
Even so you’re getting more fat from chicken breast than rabbit.
Rabbit isn’t toxic. You’re too caught up on the name.
It’s a form of malnourishment.
Rabbit is leaner than chicken. Rabbit is one of the leanest protein sources.
Yes the thing is the fat. They’re getting enough fat. Hes not eating the leanest protein source possible only. He’s also not doing it for months on end day in day out but even if he was the fatty acids will keep the protein starvation from happeningEven people like Mike Matarazzo used to basically eat meat only in the last stages of prep.
But we're talking about 6-7 lbs of semi-fat beef.
It could happen to a human with any extremely lean protein source - egg whites, whey protein, white fish, etc. The reason you don't hear of it outside of survival tales is it typically takes months to harm the body and no bodybuilder is staying on that extreme of a contest diet for that long. Even if they push for 2-3 months, they likely still have fish oil and a cheat meal here or there aiding them.
Rabbit meat isn't common but whole rabbits can be found at specialty grocery stores in the US.
Like with EAA's, there're Essential Fatty Acids your body can't synthesize on its own. Without them you can't last that much.
In a first world country it’d take a pretty concerted effort for it to happen.Personally I've always been disgusted by eating rabbit, don't ask me why, but I've never seen it in the diet of bodybuilders, I don't know why, maybe because is more expensive than chicken?
On the other hand, I was thinking about these explorers who got poisoned from eating hare. They were in an extreme weather situation which in itself is debilitating, they weren't lifting weights (so they were losing fat and muscle tissue from their calorie deficit), and they weren't drinking a gallon of water a day.
We know how important water is for releasing toxins and helping the kidneys and liver.
And as you said, even the most dedicated athletes will break the diet if their body is about to collapse.

Dr. Scott talks about the Study in the recent Episode on Muscle Minds (starts around 10 mins in)
Yeah I try and get as much protein in around workouts as I can digest. So EAA intra, whey iso shack with a high protein meal. Definitely more than 100gr of protein as simple as possible. Done this long before the study came out.Man bodybuilding is such a simplistic sport but people really try to over complicate things.
IMO this is way over kill maybe nab some bcaa and waxy maize (pre/intra) workout but if you’re eating 5-7 times a day solid clean food you won’t need extra anything over the day imo maybe that bump during training but I’ve tried the crazy and got nothing more than I got from clean food all day 6-7 days a week.Can some one else extrapolate what @homonunculus is saying here? I'm just more confused lol.
Would starting protein synthesis with 30g EAA immediately PWO, then 50g hydrowhey, then 50g whey iso, then 50g casein be "optimal"?
Obviously made that above up but trying to piece together his thoughts.
Why would anyone still use BCAA when EAA's are available everywhere?IMO this is way over kill maybe nab some bcaa and waxy maize (pre/intra) workout but if you’re eating 5-7 times a day solid clean food you won’t need extra anything over the day imo maybe that bump during training but I’ve tried the crazy and got nothing more than I got from clean food all day 6-7 days a week.
why would it be overkill to have a huge protein feeding post workout?IMO this is way over kill maybe nab some bcaa and waxy maize (pre/intra) workout but if you’re eating 5-7 times a day solid clean food you won’t need extra anything over the day imo maybe that bump during training but I’ve tried the crazy and got nothing more than I got from clean food all day 6-7 days a week.
if it’s working then it’s not overkillwhy would it be overkill to have a huge protein feeding post workout?
I drink my inta (40g cyclic dextrin, 20g clear whey, gluta, leucin...), then come home, take my mixer and put in 800ml water, 8 icecubes, a bit xanthan, 5 scoops whey and mix it to the most delicious shake on earth and 30min later i have a whole food meal consisting of 300g meat
since i do that my recovery is top notch even when cutting
