So true man. I added on 100g of protein on top of my normal consumption at night in the form of a 0% Greek yogurt/whey isolate protein pudding (works out to ~550 kCal, 100g protein, ~30g carbs, trace fats).After sifting through a lot of the bullshit and closely looking at the posts of the the guys with monsterous physiques, I saw one common denominator… Food, it’s all about the food, after you dial the workouts and the chemicals, more calories and more protein are what separates the big guys and everybody else. Im no mass monster, not yet , but the gains in lean tissue I made these past years made me realize how much time I wasted on what I thought a high protein diet was. I am now consistently getting on 2-2.25g protein per lb and am seeing changes weekly. I’m finally achieving the physique I’ve been chasing for years and honestly the simplest solution was holding me back. I blame that on all the bad information pushed by guys that are a buck eighty on their best day but push their opinions as facts. The problem is the latter group posts more frequently and louder and that overshadows any good quality information by their loud BS.
That took me to around 2.5g protein/lb and bruh. It helps. I’ve always gotten stalled out around 220-225 lbs, but now I’m seeing incremental growth I haven’t seen before.
Not a massive change, but adding in 550 cal/day with an extra 100g protein was honestly hard - I eat non-stop all day. Making it into dessert format instead of trying to eat more meat helps.
Not that I’m meat averse, got 700 lbs of USDA prime dry aged beef delivered Saturday to throw in my freezer lmao. God bless Texas.
