In other news: One of my friends said I inspired him to take up body-building for his New Years Resolution lololol (brutal)... He texted me the other day and said he had been steadily working out at the gym and was sore all the time and wasn't gaining any muscle. I asked him how much protein he was eating/day and he said he drank two protein drinks/day (40g/each) and then ate 'normally' the rest of the time. He weighs about 160lbs, and I figure he is probably taking in about 160 grams/day...so I told him that 1g/lb. of body weight should be absolutely fine. I mentioned that if he was doing intense workouts that he might want to add a bit more.
He wanted to know which protein powder I use, and I blew his mind when I told him I don't use protein powder.
He didn't believe me, so I sent him this picture of my breakfast.
1.5lbs of lean unseasoned pork-each day/every day. Then I need to eat some sort of primarily meat dish for dinner.
Yes yes, I know that beef has 3X the amount of iron as pork and while I do eat beef for dinner sometimes...I'm not made out of money.
