Basically, protein doesn't build muscle so why am I trying to get protein. If my body needs Protein, it will convert fats, sugars, etc into protein.

I felt very uncomfortable, all my superior bro knowledge was getting shut down by doctor knowledge?


A general doctor with no apparent experience in athletic dieting talking out of his ass.

Same goes for a lot of doctors who don't stick to their actual expertise. There's a shitload of doctors who will say the complete opposite of whatever the fuck that guy told you. You're better off doing your own research.

Anti-vaxxers also have done "their own research" :p

It's not a very good idea to encourage lay people to simply do their own research cause a lot of times non-experts lack scientific literacy. Reading up single studies on pubmed does not count as research if that's what you mean.

The nitrogen that gets excreted is still replaced strictly through dietary protein. The importance of nitrogen fixation in the ecosystem, yo.

it sounds like OP missed a small detail of what his doctor was explaining to him and filled in the blanks. i think i might know what your doc was talking about

but this shit's fun to watch the arrogant hnf argue against doctor's advice.

Pretty sure I'm not filling in blanks.

He was against macro counting, consuming certain macros / amount of that macro.
I probed what he said regarding you dont need to eat protein, your body will convert sugars into protein.

He did say to stay away from processed foods.

Glucose can't transform into the essential amino acids, like previously stated.
