Just so there is no confusion , let me start off with saying I have a medical condition from a fucked up surgery that is causing the limit to solid foods an total protein I can take in.
what I can manage at most with solid food and shakes is only about 200g protein and 300g carbs , my fats are only trace from lean meat like chicken breast , 93% turkey , cod , catfish etc. I can't eat much red at one time so I've been limiting my red meat intake so my total calories are pretty low (6'3" , 245 with visible abs) Fats absolutely kill my stomach , a fatty burger or salm , ribeye will have my shitting like a goose so it's hard to add calories that way. Drinking shakes to increase the protein upset my stomach as well , I'm just having a hard time digesting the protein.
so my main question is would adding say 10-15g EAA to each meal (6x a day)help make up for the low protein intake??
I can easily add more carbs with sweet tea and Gatorade due to the sugar but I'd like to keep some nutrients in the calories as much as possible. I'm currently drinking some super greens and a couple V8 juice a day to help get nutrients from the vegetables that I'm lacking
back after my surgery when I had to inject my protein it was tearing me up so I switched to EAAs and sweet potato powder (thanks to Dante and TN) that helped tremendously with slowing down my weight loss , that's what the picture is from 2019
