Fiber. The average American eats 500g of protein a day and maybe accidentally 1 gram of fiber.
Then they go to Taco Bell where every menu item has beans (a staple source of fiber) -> poopacolypse
I figured this out a while back after always wondering what people were talking about and it makes so much sense. Dudes living on Doritos and code red talking bout the Taco Bell shits like bruh eat a salad
No one is getting 500g of protein a day except for people using supplements and even then that is a fucking ton.
You’re right about the fiber though; it’s honestly pathetic.
Is hyperbole.
Check out this mad
Using hyperbole on the internet without stating it, living life in the danger zone
Next I’ll be using sarcasm without ending my message with /s
This would make me so mad I'd kick you to the moon.
Whaaaa? You wouldn't really kick him, right?
Steak every day people exist. Meat sweats forever.
Even those people 100-150g of protein a day.
Meat doesn't cause sweating
"150 gram steaks!!?! What's the point of eating such a small piece?" - me when I was a steak everyday guy. Yes, I know there's some fat in there.
Meat does cause sweating if you eat horrifying amounts and clog up your digestive system.
I had maybe a kilo of meat every day for a year or so, quite fatty meat, and only a bit of salad drenched in balsamic and milky iced coffee for other nutrition.
In one way I was living the dream. In another way, I was causing my liver to hate me and building a caloric surplus vault ending up at around 50% in excess of sensible reserves.
You've got to realise that when you say "Nobody does X" you usually mean "nobody sensible does x". There are a lot of people who aren't sensible.
you were using protein grams, which is the protein content of a steak, not the raw weight of the steak.
meat is fully consumed in the stomach, it doesn't clog up digestion.
Meat doesn't stress the liver.
Not a scientist but this sounds so right. As a regular consumer of fiber, I find taco bell to be one of the more digestible fast food chains. Fiber actually holds water into your stools after going through the stomach, but if your body isn't used to getting any then you are probably gonna be in for some kind of event.
