I just had a pretty intense lifting session

Should I have extra protein?

Or is there only a certain amount I can take in at a time?

Get the amount to fulfill your daily requirements, and if you want to eat more go for it. There's probably no right or wrong answer, some sources say that your body only absorbs x amount of protein per meal, other sources say that's bs. (Unless you're restricting caloric intake)

What you could have more of after a really strenous workout is more carbs to replenish your glycogen levels. >inb4 keto posters

Technically too much protein can fuck up PH balance or something along those lines. Or at least bad for your liver/kidneys. That's why I'm not a fan of Keto as, at least what a lot of people tend to do, eat a lot of fucking protein. Too tired to remember, why the hell am I still even up lol?

You're awake to answer questions

Strict Keto is supposed to be moderate protein, high fat.

Too high protein >> Glucogenesis or w.e > kicked out of keto

Should I be taking creatine?

Or anything else, for that matter?

If you take creatine, get some milk thistle to help flush the kidneys

Creatine works, not sure what it does to keto.

just adding, don't overcomplicate it with all the supplements and stuff, effective training and good sleep is 100% better than every possible supplement

> good sleep

lol that's gonna be a problem

neeeeeerd

I tried to get sleep last night until these Mexicans started yelling and doing construction 40 feet from where I sleep at 7 AM when I wake up at 10 to do second shift at work.

@Jacob I'm just now realising (after my doctor's instruction) that good sleep will do worlds of good in nutrition and strength.

Gonna go on keto for a while to shred some bodyfat for summertime. Is muscle milk's 100 calorie protein powder good for keto?

no sugar, 4g net carbs

@Gaius Mucius Scaevola ump worked for me

Just make sure youre getting fiber cause the movements become a bit difficult if you dont. Lol.

I was introduced to this idea today, that lectins are a primary cause of our health problems today.

Anyone else heard of this, or is this some new 'fad of the week' diet?

@here

👆🏻

Every diet is a fad diet

You've got complex problems?

*I've got the one easy, simple solution to everything*

Mercola is known for advocating BS alt "medicine"

Scamming people out of money with fake products

and being an anti-vaxxer

Steer clear basically

Count your calories. Learn your hormones. Know thy self.

The only exception is esoteric onionism

counting calories is too much effort

Intermittent fasting.

@StrawberryArmada what about anti-vaxxing?

@Suomi Stronk I was under the impression that creatine was the only supplement that does anything and all other others were scams, however, I've recently been told that niacin does something. Can you "redpill me on that, goy"?

@Jacob Can you get in voice?

sure
