The best thing about this protein craze is almost everyone gets enough anyways and the body excretes excess protein so the cheapest and easiest way to get extra protein is to drink a gymbro's piss.

Its sterile and I like the taste.

[–] zer0hour@lemmy.world 46 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I know this is all jokes, but just to stop the perpetual piss is sterile thing, it's absolutely not sterile

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Somehow bladder infections are a thing and people think your piss pouch can be simultaneously infected and sterile.

I know you're joking but urine should not contain any protein in a healthy body.

[–] areakode@riskeratspizza.com 22 points 5 days ago

So you choose option #2? 😂

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 5 days ago (12 children)

I did the math recently and I think that in order to hit what the WHO considers the minimum safe protein for my weight, I would have to eat WAY more, like twice what I typically do.

This may be a vegan-specific problem.

[–] jumponboard@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's not a vegan problem. It's a food selection problem.

I'm vegan and I eat plenty of protein. More than most non vegans

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's a vegan problem in that it can be a problem for vegans, not that it's a problem for all vegans.

[–] jumponboard@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Sure. It can be a problem for anyone, including vegans. Vegan does not save you from bad food choices

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 19 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Beans and lentils are your friend.

That's because almost everyone eats too much (bad) stuff.

If you are on a cut, you have to select your food wisely in order to get enough protein while still maintaining the cut.

Also, it is wiser to eat too much protein than limit your gains due to a shortage in protein. Imagine working out and not getting the additional reward for the additional set because you eat too little protein.

You make a surprisingly salient point, sir

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 12 points 5 days ago

If you’re older this is not true. Near all of the older people i know need protein supplemented.

This. The actual tool is dead simple, just a plastic bar with a magnet and a couple of little plastic nubbins to help line it up in the right place.

...It's also only $15 on Amazon, so it should pay for itself pretty quickly

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Just steal one on your way out.

I'd use a grenade but you would have to have a grenade to get the grenade, first the scissors now this.

Pay for the bars and the cashier will open them

[–] webp@mander.xyz 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I feel like there is an easier option somewhere

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago

Become a cashier

[–] Greg@lemmy.ca 45 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If you ate protein bars you could just smash them open with your hands, at least that's how I understand protein works 🤔

I think LPL has a video in these. All you need is a strong magnet to operate the latching mechanism from the outside

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 42 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (8 children)

They open them at the register for you. Like how they remove those ink tags from clothing.

I wonder how expensive those containers are in order to offset the loss

ICP wrote a song about it. Nobody knows how they work though.

The actual tool uses two magnets to unlock the mechanism and allow you to slide the tab.

On the wider ones, the heel of your shoe to the center top of the clear plastic will cause it to bow and open up.

They seek to keep us weak

People on GLP-1s need to eat more protein. Because of this, everything now has added protein which has caused the price of whey protein to rise dramatically.

Those bars are probably anywhere from $2-4 each, so they're targets for theft.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How do people afford GLP1s but can't afford these bars?

I think it's just marketing. Whenever I ask someone why he takes extra protein, the answer is almost always "for muscles to grow". That's not how protein even works. By not really doing anything and just taking extra protein, you build mass, not muscle, and now you see bunch of teenagers whose bodies look like 40 from behind and they just generally look fat, not strong.

Humans generally have enough protein intake to not think about it (last I checked, around 2.5% have deficiency, poor regions)

Hammer or sometimes the keys to these are just a pattern of magnets.

[–] DankDingleberry@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)
