    I don't get what you are asking, can you try to rephrase it please?

    While there is no absolute reason to eat protein (your body will strip it from existing muscle), it isn’t something I’d recommend. Finding a good macro set that works for you is a better approach.

    I don't get the connection between protein and hangovers (?)

    Only that a lot of people crave carbs on a hangover perhaps?

    I am guessing that 1) OP is talking about protein SHAKES and that 2) OP's hangover involved digestive turbulence (which a protein shake might complicate).

    I actually crave milk with a hangover. I know, I'm gross, I'll let myself out...

    OP, could you clarify please?

    Is this like when my doctor told me to take off my pants and bend over for my vitamin D injection?

    This post was a complete head scratcher for me so I Googled "hangover protein." One of the results suggested the following meal for hangovers:
    If you’re a vegetarian, take two large mushrooms (stalks removed) and poach them whole in water for 2-3 minutes. Turn upside down and fill with a mixture of cottage cheese and baked beans. Serve on a bed of wilted spinach.

    Now, I have never actually had a hangover so maybe this would hit the spot during one but it sounds absolutely stomach turning to me.

    I feel like although technically correct from their unpicked natural environment, turning a mushroom I'm going to eat upside down would put it the opposite way to their meaning.

    Well, I have had (occasional!) hangovers, and I would agree that that meal sounds horrid for that particular moment. Whoever wrote that hates people.

    The cure for a hangover is a greasy breakfast with eggs & hashbrowns & highly processed meat & maybe pancakes.

    even as much as i drink sometimes, i dont get hangovers but i fail to understand why someone wouldnt eat protein the next day?

    nothing like some motrin, black coffee and scrambled eggs with cheese to cure a hangover.... works every time lol

    I was amazingly not hungover today after drinking a day and half worth of cals last night- I put it down to all the dancing and water interspersing the wine.
    So I have eaten normal protein and everything else, including some amazing samosas and chutney.

    If I had had a hangover, the bacon, eggs, tomatoes, baked beans and toast were waiting in the wings. Plenty of protein and fat and carbs in my fav hangover breakfast.

    Does protein not agree with you when hung over @craigtraining2016 ?

    Cheers, h.

    ETA @callsitlikeiseeit try an EmergenC for a hang over. The extra electrolytes and vitC work wonders.

    It kind of reminded me of when I was a kid and would offer to make my older sister a nice lumpy bowl of oatmeal whenever she had some sort of stomach bug.

    Pretty simple. You can go a day without protein, in fact our ancestors likely did it on a regular basis. It isn’t something you’d want to do for an extended period of time, but you could without adverse health consequences. Was that not clear?

    If I go a day without protein, I get yelled at. I don't like getting yelled at.

    I don't get hangovers, so problem solved before it happens.

    No, it actually wasn't. You made it sound like protein was not necessary to eat, ever. Which is clearly insane.

    Lol, did you! Yeah, I guess I can see how that could be similar, haha!
