Either obvious troll or quite delusional. Either way everyone is wasting their time
That's kinda the point. To waste time while being entertained. Or am I the only one here while at work?

And after reading through...Grown man in mud mask, mistaken for a woman, thinks MFP is trying to force-feed him protein. You just can't make this s**t up.0

I'll keep that in mind if I ever become a woman. I don't lift heavy weights because I don't like lifting heavy weights, I don't have a weight room to go to, and I don't want to do it wrong and injure myself.Yes, I read the article. Like most people, I'm not an avid strength-trainer. (Maximum I lift is 5 pounds per hand.) I'm not an endurance athlete. (I walk 3-5 miles at a stretch.) So why should I be treated like one in MFP's recommendations? And by people who look at my food diary, I might add...
You should start lifting heavier weight, don't worry, women don't get bulky by accident!!! You might see a little gain in weight at first and during your time of the month but that's normal!!!
Totally assumed you were a chick...
Only able to lift 5 pounds might have been a clue. :laugh:0 -

Don't tell my boss! I'm also playing Candy Crush in between posts. Seven days until furlough, so they aren't getting much work out of me this week and next.0 -
...are you in black face?
i highly suggest changing your photo...
And eating more protein.
The OP says he likes facial masks. I should post a pic of me in one of my favorites - then I could be accused of being in 'greenface' which would indicate that I was trying to offend to Martians.
Good Lord.
Only "greenface" hasn't been a practice used throughout history to ridicule and mock a group of people that have been subject to persecution, judgement and stereotypes for years... and black face actually is really offensive... I'm just suggesting that he change is his picture because it can easily be misinterpreted. Like facial masks all you want man- I'm sure they do wonders. I'm just saying it doesn't look right.
That photo didn't look like blackface to me as that entails blackening everything including the lower eyelids and leaving a large lip area light. To me, it looked like either a facial mask, or maybe some kind of special ops face paint.
But you are free to be offended by whatever you choose to be offended by (say that fast 3 times).0 -

I don't understand why you would want to lower your protein, but if you do, just click home, then goals, the custom and change it there0

is this about to become one of those threads where white people tell other white people what's offensive to black people? SWEET!! I lurve those! Bonus points for this one being about how white people can't moisturize without offending someone.
IN!! I'm so IN

I get that I can do that, but I still don't understand why MFP sets them so high to begin with.I don't understand why you would want to lower your protein, but if you do, just click home, then goals, the custom and change it there0

Apologies to the group. MFP's protein goal for me is 112 grams/day. I initially wrote 135 grams/day. I must've copied the wrong number. Sorry about that. But still, I think that's high given my non-athlete status.
No. You custom changed your macros. The 112g is not 15% of your intake.
As Brett said..I think there is some user error going on...and maybe open your diary while your at it.
Can't lift; can't math.
Maybe wearing a mask is what he does best?0 -

Because it's NOT HIGH! Typically dudes on this site are not setting goals to turn themselves into frail little girls.0 -
MFP is defaulting to 20% on protein.
They might've done 15% before, but they've raised it.Apologies to the group. MFP's protein goal for me is 112 grams/day. I initially wrote 135 grams/day. I must've copied the wrong number. Sorry about that. But still, I think that's high given my non-athlete status.

Interesting how the homophobic trolls come out for discussions about "protein."The OP may have an XY chromosome combination but they are not a guy.
Now I'm confused. I thought we were talking about protein, but we are really talking about "protein"? :ohwell:0
