Had a talk today with a guy who was sort of offended for some reason about me not eating animal products and lifting weight. He said I’d never get enough protein (never heard that one before!!!). Because lentils aren’t a thing in a world of steaks.

Anyway he said that you need at least 200 grams of protein each day when you lift but that’s of course nonsense. Not saying you shouldn’t do it, but you don’t need to either.

I’m averaging around 110-140 grams a day and I’m doing fine at ±80kg body weight.

    People with no understand of science saw the word “Estrogen” and the far-right went buck wild with it. If photoestrogens made you grow boobies, the entire male population would be transfem. It is impossible to avoid soy in the modern world, and our ancestors have been eating it for thousands of years without a problem.
