No you can’t, and a lot of those proteins are present, but not biologically available to you, morning you just consume more and more calories to get equivalent protein and even more on top of that to get equivalent usable protein

Quit pretending science is on your side in terms of nutrition to push your morality

The myth is that you have to eat meat to get all the nutrients you need. Wanna guess who came up with that myth?

Nailed it

It's all of the extra sugars in the diet. Quit drinking so many calories. Eat meat and fresh vegetables. You'll shed weight if you eat that and cut sugars.

It really isn’t that hard. Just now I made a sacrifice. Instead Of getting a chicken egg and cheese on a biscuit at Chick-fil-A i chose the much healthier option of an English muffin. It was a tough decision but I have to be brave.

admittedly I am part of that 40%, however I have been almost 2 months with no soda, candy, Ice cream and largely anything with a lot of added sugar, and less Carbs.

started working out, and I am down about 16 pounds since Jan 1, and about 4 since August last year. a long ways to go, but i'm working on it.

They listed him as 6-3 237. He had a doctor checked him out and his health was still good for his age.

My doctor doesn't look at BMI but the general health of a individual. If you have high cholesterol, blood pressure or high blood sugar just as examples then you have problems. Being overweight or obese just increases the CHANCES of that happening. You can be "overweight" and still be healthy.

Birds aren't real. Wake up.

So, you threw away the only nutrition in the meal and stayed with something made of white flour and carbs? Bro, that is not a healthier option. Throw away the biscuit and eat your chicken egg and cheese. Protein feeds the body. Carbs turn to sugar. White flour causes inflammation.

Having said that, i am about 220lbs, and should be closer to 200lbs. According to that BMI chart, i should be closer to 170-175lbs......the same weight i trained at swimming in college. I could literally cut off a leg and still never get down to that weight.

---

See, if you are 5'11" or 6', 170-175 is too small for me. That's skinny. I got sick a while back and dropped to 170.
I like to fill out my shirts. I'm 5'11.5" and I look my best at 185-190. I lift weights though.

Protein shakes then (even though it's "blood protein")
