    You're so brainwashed....
    You messed up. It seems you directed this comment at me. This should actually be directed at you. I'm, afterall, not the one advocating a lethal diet.

    Hopeless...

    .6-.8g per lb of body weight will suffice.

    Exactly what this guy said. There's plenty of research (real research, not funded by controversial industry or terribly done control groups) that you can get the same muscle building as 1g/lb.
    And for all those trying to spread high protein/paleo/anti vegan whatever....ill laugh at you in 50 years. It had been proven that low protein diets can increase health and longevity.

    I'll be dead in 50 years because of all the red meat, butter, and sugar I eat. But go ahead and laugh at a dead person if it makes you feel better.

    We will all be dead someday....it won't be because of red meat and butter. Sugar on the other hand has been shown to have rather deleterious effects and should be limited, but not excluded from one's diet.

    actually you are, but you seem to be in denial of the fact because you think humans are herbivores and seem to ignore the reams and reams of scientific evidence that humans are and always have been omnivores, and that all species of great ape are omnivores and that most species of primate are omnivores and that herbivorous primates have smaller brains than omnivorous primates.

    Seriously, if a zoo keeper fed chimps or bonobos the diet you're advocating for humans he or she would be prosecuted for animal neglect and cruelty.



    Disclaimer: the above is based on this users past record around this forum, I have nothing against vegan diets that involve getting all the right balance of nutrients that humans need, i.e. imitating the nutrient profile of omnivores because humans are omnivores. With modern technology this can be done without including any foods that come from animals.

    I applaud you for at least admitting that stuff compromises your health. There are too many on this site who think that stuff is health promoting...

    I believe she meant she expects to still attain the average life span for a female at this point in time, all the while eating red meat and sugar, just as I expect the same.

    Please, please stop demonizing food.
    Who is demonizing food here? Please explain your ridiculous comment.

    Well from the looks of your profile pic you are advocating a lethal diet...you my friend do not look healthy! I will stick with my steak

    Why? You don't want a pair of pythons like ole' Rocbola is showing off in his avatar? I hope you bought tickets... ;)
    How far can you ride a bike in a day? If i had put as much time into lifting as i have into cycling, i would have bigger arms. Large muscles come from a specific type of exercise and recovery program.

    You're so irrelevant. Everything you post.

    OP makes a post wanting assistance with protein needs for athletic performance purposes, and you as your brainwashed vegan self post irrelevant and non-helpful information. Then, you decide to defend yourself with "Well.... I ride a bike bro".

    Yes, and by "recovery program" you mean eating a ton of meat and dairy right?

    Lol @ you telling me how to get big arms.

    Even if you began lifting you wouldn't ever get big arms because you don't eat enough protein to build a significant amount of mass.

    Vegan bodybuilders report faster recovery than you who eat the wrong foods. I know i recover faster in the sport i choose.

    Even if you began lifting you wouldn't ever get big arms because you don't eat enough protein to build a significant amount of mass.
    You wouldn't know, because you have never tried it. You believe what you have read without ever actually trying out a proper diet. Why do my quads grow when i exercise them on my diet? Is one muscle group somehow different from the rest of them?

    As usual you do not address another of the other 20 comments telling you why you are wrong but instead comment on something barely related with an attempt to be witty.
    He has me and I'd imagine many of you posters that disagree with him frequently on ignore making his view of a thread a totally different ballgame. When you belive something as opposed to science that person can't afford to jeopardize that belief with science, it creates doubt, which is absolutely not acceptable, so don't ever expect any rebuttal with any real science and expect biased youtube or vegan sites as proof. His advice is generally totally useless to dangerous.

    Rocbola, how do you feel about lean mass and body composition as it relates to health and longevity?

    lol.

    We all know carbs are important for recovery, but thank you for this groundbreaking insight.

    Vegan bodybuilders are also pretty damn small compared to their meat-eating, natural competitors. So there's that.

    Hold on, someone is going to post a picture of Jim Morris, "vegan bodybuilder" who admits to roiding out of his mind while eating a meat-heavy diet the vast majority of his life.

    Anyone that calls someone retarded should be posting elsewhere. Do you have any relative's with mental challenges? I do.

    This is all I can really muster up moving forward man.

    ^^^^ yeah this

    it's amazing what lengths people go to to protect their own delusions.


    but being on ignore can be useful seeing as he hasn't attempted to contradict most of the valid scientific posts on the thread, so that anyone who's lurking and unsure of what science says can read the scientific arguments without the deluded rebuttals.

    Lol okay then. So why is it that you have the physique of an IT guy? Most guys who cycle are skinny but decently ripped while you are skinny with 30%+ bodyfat. Could it be because they eat sufficient amounts of protein and you don't? Therefore causing muscular hypertrophy and improved metabolic state, insulin and leptin sensitivity? Whereas you continuously remain in a catabolic state which causes the release of cortisol; hence, your miniscule lean body mass and abundance of body fat.

    Let me guess, you'll deny this and then say that everything I stated was just conjecture so you can continue to live in fruit-loop lala land...

    Don't be so sensitive. I have relatives with mental challenges, and i don't call them names like that. That doesn't bar me from using a term colloquially. Over sensitivity to trivial things is re..... oh, nevermind.
