What happens if you decrease the amount of protein you eat?




So people, whether your goal is fatloss or to build muscle please DO NOT decrease your protein intake! Now i touch on this topic because lately i have been eating much less than usual, by choice. Why? Well honestly im just tired off eating protein(tuna, chicken, beef.) every 2 hours for years at a time, it sucks, its work, its planning, its money, its cooking or buying it from the store, and sometimes its just forcing myself to eat when im not even hungry. But heres why i urge you to not to do this. Protein is the building block of muscle tissue. If you eat less protein, your muscle mass WILL drop. Your strength will also decrease. Your fatloss will also decrease, because you are not feeding muscle cells which are the cells that actually Burn calories. Fat cells DO NOT burn calories, muscle cells do. You want to feed the muscle cells, which are made of protein. PROTEIN! Chicken, eggs, beef! 

Now, back to what I was explaining about myself, so ive been eating as low as 100g of protein some days. Thats pretty bad. Carbs about 150g-200g, and fats about 40g -60g. Ok, thats very low for someone like me. Dont do this. Im basically in starvation mode and my muscle is getting eatin up at this second, lets see how long i can last. I went to the gym on sunday and did chest and my stregnth was significantly weaker, which once again this WILL happen if you cut your protein intake.

So, what i reccomend for EVERYONE is 1g of protein per pound that you weigh. If you weigh 145lbs, you should try to eat 145g of protein per day. And split that up in 4meals, 5 meals if you have the time. Which for the 145lber would come out to 36.25g protein per meal if you do 4 meals.

So there you go, this is another piece of the puzzle. Please read all my posts and not just 1 or 2, or you will not get all of the information you need to make the progress you want.
