[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The importance of weight training for aging is being emphasized.  Protein is needed for muscle growth.[/quote]

I feel so much better when I get enough protein (100g+ daily), and also my hair is fuller when I do so. I also lift heavy weights. [/quote]

Who told you to feel this way. No one starts measuring protein without being influenced to[/quote]

My body. [/quote]

its the calories. you are feeling satiated because you ate. Protein comes in whey powder, meat animal products, etc, various foods that are different from each other. Protein isn't an independent "thing", it is a component that joins with others to make wholes. So speaking of "protein" in isolation makes no sense. Fats, yes, protein, no. [/quote]

Huh? You make zero sense. [/quote]

Oh if you need protein so much just go to McDonald's daily and pick up a cheeseburger so you won't collapse and die due to the Amrican protein deficiency crisis. Or go to 7-11 and get a Slim Jim. Or go to Dunkin and get a whey-filled drink. The fast food industry is here to save the day.[/quote]

Exactly. Also a lot of the obsession with consuming excessive protien is wrapped up in masculinity. You need to eat protein to be strong and tough and vegetables are for women.[/quote]

No, it doesn't mean you should go to McDonalds.  Lean protein is key.  That means you can have the occasional burger, but really people who are focused on hitting their protein are also paying attention to their other macros like fat.  So they are eating lean proteins like turkey, fish, chicken.  Egg whites added to whole eggs.  You can hit at least 100g of protein a day with little fat.  A side of greens and carbs to go with the protein to keep it balanced.  It does not have to be extreme.[/quote]
