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.
I know this is all jokes, but just to stop the perpetual piss is sterile thing, it’s absolutely not sterile
Yeah, a lot of people suffer from bladder infections. Would increase their life quality if it was indeed sterile.
Somehow bladder infections are a thing and people think your piss pouch can be simultaneously infected and sterile.
Do people actually believe that?
Yeah probably
Yup. I’ve heard people say this growing up. I also saw it on tv on a medical show. The doctor was operating on someone and pissed and when people looked at him in shock. He just said “What? It’s sterile. It’s just pee.” Or some shit like that.
People will believe anything if you repeat it long enough.
I know you’re joking but urine should not contain any protein in a healthy body.
So you choose option #2? 😂
You make a surprisingly salient point, sir
Only the nitrogen is excreted. The body converts the rest into glucose then fat. So the excess protein in everything is literally making us fatter and more unhealthy!
If you’re older this is not true. Near all of the older people i know need protein supplemented.
🤣 I do it to keep weight on so what puzzles me is people who drink protein drinks to lose weight. My diet plan is pretty simple (it’s just a basic hierarchy of choices):
- eat the option with the most fiber
- that being equal, eat the option with the most protein
- THAT being equal, eat the thing with the highest polyunsaturated fat
- after that, eat the thing that tastes best and has the least uncomplicated carbohydrates
- eat the thing with the least trans fat
I usually don’t even get past #2 and very rarely past 3.
Protein makes you sated much more quickly than carbs, so a protein rich diet compliments losing weight.
Visceral fat is usually caused by protein deficiency, adding protein to the diet without any other changes to lifestyle or diet causes a reduction in visceral fat.
Visceral fat is usually caused by protein deficiency,
in cases of severe malnourishment.
I’m so done with the brah science in this thread.
No…
There’s numerous studies if you bothered to search. These off the top of the first search engine I try:

It’s very well established that increased protein intake reduces abdominal fat in pretty much every population
Maybe good protein, though protein shakes are often going to come with extra calories and junk that most people don’t need to add to their diet anyways.
Especially if they’re using a milk base or adding chocolate/etc to make tastier shakes. It’s pretty damn easy to drink a surprising amount of calories. Milk can be more calories than beer by volume, for example.
also causes flatulence, lower gut mobility, skews the microbiome.
I have significant concerns about the protein diet fad and the increase of colon cancer in younger people.
Sugar should be avoided, but a balanced diet is important.
Try cumin and other herbs like savory if you suffer from flatulence. If you don’t like cumin, eat it every day and increase the amount over time. The distinct flavor will decrease as your taste adapts to it.
Nobody should be drinking those to lose weight, because weight lifting to the point of needing extra protein is very much a way to gain mass, and doing both at once(gain mass and slim up) is extremely hard. Weight lifting being the most obvious way someone might actually need extra protein.
Other exercise, outside of extreme situations, doesn’t need extra-high protein intake, so it’s just excessive. Especially for lower intensity exercise that someone looking to slim up should be doing more of.
Also with how much extra junk a lot of those protein powders/bars/etc come with, it’s just ill advised. Sugar, cholesterol, carbs, etc. Some are really bad choices in general vs just eating a normal meal.
Losing fat is more about gaining muscle to increase base metabolism. Drinking protein shakes also causes a loss of visceral fat in the absence of any other changes
It’s not “more about” gaining muscle. It’s purely about burning off more energy than you eat. Sure, that’s easier with more muscle, but it’s WAY easier to not eat 200+ calorie candy bars than it is burning 200 calories off, even with muscle.
No one is saying eat 200 candy bars lmao
Correct, the 200 was the number of calories not the number of candy bars
My doc says I need to build muscle mass to fix my shoulder and protein helps so I’m one of the few who needs it and I don’t really buy into the craze.
I know you think you’re trying to make piss-drinking happen, but it’s not going to happen.
Vegetarians and especially vegans need to either supplement protein or make sure to eat lots of protein-rich stuff like chickpeas or lentils.
Wrong. Plants are protein. They eat some beans and grains that have lysine and methionine amino acids which are lower in plant proteins.
Those protein powders the brahs eat are from plants.
A lot of the bro powders use whey protein which is a dairy product.
Plants are protein.
Are you high?
Those protein powders the brahs eat are from plants.
This is plain wrong. Most protein powders are not vegan, especially whey protein which is said to be the most bioavailable.
Brah, All living life on this planet is made of protein.
All protein is bioavailable and digested into amino acids, which are then used to build human protein. Most plants lack methionine and lysine, which is abundant in meats, but also some plants. Those tubs you buy can have as little as 20% whey protein, the rest is from plants like soybeans.
I get that people are Joe Rogan educated and like to read the brightly colored plastic tubs, but a little biochemistry won’t hurt you, brah.
Its fascinating how much effort some people put into writing complete bullshit in a fancy way. Or maybe its a bot? Probably is…
But just to make sure noone parrots this bullshit: Carbohydrates, fat, minerals, water are all NOT protein and they make up a much larger fraction of most living organisms than protein. Just because most plants contains at least 1% protein doesnt mean it will satisfy the human need for it.
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.
That’s why you should drink the piss bro.
I’ve read this stated before and I don’t see how it’s true.
- us RDA is based on weight and we’re a fat country. It looks like I’d need to eat 5 chicken breasts/day. Unless there’s a lot of hidden protein in my diet, That never happens
- most of this is backlash against gymbro recommendation with much higher protein levels to build muscle, that’s not really evidence based. Sure the specific levels are questionable but it does makes sense that some amount more is better: maybe I need to eat 6 chicken breasts in a day if I started exercising . That also never happens
Uric acid wants to have a word.
This is so disingenuous, technically yes we do our bodies automatically shit off the cravings when we get enough.
but that protein is in such low concentration in the food we eat that we are forced to eat 15X the carbs we eat to get the proper protein.
that’s why McDonald’s with their nipple sized beef works so well it gives you just enough protein to make you think it is healthy and you have to order 15X the amount you need.
if you eat something with higher concentration of protein you won’t need the extra carbs your brain doesn’t know to stop eating not to mention the transfat and sodium and no fiber that comes with the bread.
Not to say this bar is that, it looks like it’s loaded with sugar aswell but proper protein powder is not.
Come on drink the piss bro.
That’s another thing the Gym bros absolutely should be eating the protein, even in excess.
when your body is growing muscle it needs to know it has a readily available supply of protein, the body won’t grow muscle if it thinks it cannot get enough resources to grow it.
and the extra protein isn’t simply pissed out it is burned for energy, the exact type of energy you need for lifting weights unlike carbs that take time to digest and build muscle while you sleep the extra protein goes into the energy you need for lifting the weights.
They open them at the register for you. Like how they remove those ink tags from clothing.
yeah but i guess this is about stealing them which is 100% based af, piracy and shoplifting are fucking awesome and everyone should do it
They could still rob them.
Or bundles of cash
Can you expand on how to get the ink packs from bundles of cash? Preferably quickly? /s
Sorry, too busy robbing a bank
guys, the thermal drill, go get it
Either you told the filthiest gay joke of all time, or you just wasted all of our time
I think it might’ve been the latter
If you ate protein bars you could just smash them open with your hands, at least that’s how I understand protein works 🤔
Do you even eat candy bars brah?
I think LPL has a video in these. All you need is a strong magnet to operate the latching mechanism from the outside
ICP wrote a song about it. Nobody knows how they work though.
ICP still remains unexplained, true
Magnets
Ya and you can easily buy the tool for them on eBay or a normal strong magnet if you know it’s needed.
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.
Pay for the bars and the cashier will open them
I feel like there is an easier option somewhere
Become a cashier
I wonder how expensive those containers are in order to offset the loss
Like a dollar or less in bulk.
Cashiers remove them so they can be reused.
Tool called hammer 🔨👀
What the absolute fuck?
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.
How do people afford GLP1s but can’t afford these bars?
I think they can’t afford the bars because they have to pay for the GLP-1s
Gas prices directly correlate to the price of dairy and its byproducts as well
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)
If you are stressed out with tense muscles all the time, increasing your protein intake makes your muscles grow. A bit crampy at times though.
The weirder thing is how much these cost.
They use magnet to open the latch.
Are they really that expensive?
i really cant tell if this is very good satire or real.
All I know is that the thumbnail looks like a Portal map.
