Nobody needs 100 fucking grams of protein in one day, even if you're exercising you'll still shit half of that out because your body can't absorb that much.
The standard Daily Recommended Allowance for protein intake is ~0.83g / kg body weight. I.e. that is the minimum amount of protein you need to eat every day to maintain your basic nutrition, which for a 180lb person is about 70g of protein per day, at minimum.
You need more it you're an older adult, and you need close to double that if you're an athlete trying to gain muscle.
Is there a c/confidentlyincorrect yet?
