Time-restricted eating reduces visceral fat and improves metabolic syndrome

It’s not so hard with protein powder. My powder would give me 100g protein in 440 calories.

That leaves just over 1000 calories to eat nutrient dense foods like broccoli and foods that bring even more protein.

(Just for fun, 1000cal of kale/broccoli aka 3kg fills all nutrient bars in cronometer except b12 and d3 and it has 70-90g protein)

Though i’m also not very convinced that we need nearly as much protein as broscientists think. If you aren’t jacked and you can’t grow on 100g protein per day at 200lbs, you aren’t covering enough of your max effort at the gym. Most people make that mistake and do grow no matter how much protein their ingest.

People with low muscle mass definitely don't 440 calories of protein shake a day to gain muscle.

I was getting great results with about 110 calories worth 30 minutes after exercising (25-30g? "1 scoop" at any rate) plus creatine. I simultaneously lost a lot of fat according to the fat percentage scale at the supplement store.
