Lmao @ the BS Whey Protein industry

me and my friend were arguing about how important protein was for getting gains, i was trying to tell him that whey protein is BS and is only for people that don't have time to cook their own meals

he says that if you want to get big, you HAVE to consume whey protein for extra protein

it's amazing how brainwashed people are into thinking that whey protein is this magical supplement that is going to give you gains, when they don't understand the simple concept of macronutrients. all whey protein is is a chemical substitute for protein, which you should be consuming through whole foods like beans, meat, and nuts.

i understand if you need whey protein on-the-go if you don't have time to cook all the time, but if you think its ESSENTIAL to have a good body then just LMAO @ YOU

also I was telling him how you only need about .8g protein/1 lb of bodyweight but so many people think you need to take 1.5g+/1lb of bodyweight... just lmao

then he disregard everything i said and just said "thanks for reminding me, i gotta take my whey protein for the day" just lmao...

this thread isn't about how much food you need to eat, it's about how the supplement industry brainwashes people into buying their products even though they are chemical garbage and not good for your bodies, and no amount of convincing from me or actual scientific articles will change their mind because they are sucked into the glorified, over-marketed supplement industry

protein is protein but getting adequate amount is not easy and no one wants to eat
eggs and chicken breast all the time.
so supplementing with whey is a smart way to go.

EDIT: and what do you mean by whey is a chemical substitute for protein?

whey is as natural as "real food" lmao

Protein should be 10-35% of your daily diet, 10 being on sedentary and 35 being active. The body doesn't store protein.

I think 0.8g per pound of lean body weight is good. So most bros only need like 130-200g a day

A few pros have had the balls to come out and admit they only drink whey when food isnt available even when the supps company sponsors them.

Well until you show us a study or provide some evidence that directly correlates with that idea, then you couldn't possibly know that with any kind of certainty.

whey protein is less likely to cause cancer/disease than meats. it has nothing to do with the supplement industry, it will be shorter lives for some body that intentionally eats a diet of 80% meats. the only fabrication about whey protein is that it is a whole protein which it is not.

The recommendations for protein are actually 0.8 g. per kg. of bodyweight in sedentary individuals, and 1.2 - 1.6 per kg. in extremely active, athletic populations. The majority of you probably exceed those numbers just by consuming a normal, balanced diet. LOL at wasting your money on worthless protein supplements.
