No idea how much I spend lol, but not that much given I bought 4.5kg of chicken breast mince for about $47 last Saturday and it's almost finished now. Rice is negligible. Steaks have been a total of maybe $25 for the 2kg I've eaten since I only buy that shit when it's on clearance. WPI and casein prices would also be negligible since I've barely consumed any of it. Oh, egg whites are like $5 for 980ml or nearly 4 breakfasts worth. Might eat like 750g of bacon through the week, and it's like $11/kg. Not counting coffees or anomalies, under $100. Significantly less than I used to spend, even moreso than when I lived with the missus. Fine by me.

So really my apparent excessive protein intake isn't the end of the world like it's being made out to be?

Wikipedia might as well be another language to my mind right now haha, care for a single line explanation in layman's terms?

I think we're missing the point that I haven't actually AIMED for this amount, I am not excessively supplementing to achieve this amount (have been having ~1-2 scoops of WPI or casein each day max), and I'm getting this figure based on a free calorie counting application with god knows what accuracy. My breakfasts have consisted of a 1 cup of egg whites and a few short cut bacon rashers, small bowl oats w/ skim milk. 2nd meal of the day has been 1.5 cups chicken breast mince w/ brown rice. 3rd meal is 1.5 cups chicken breast mince w/ steamed broccoli/cauliflower/carrot. Dinner is 500g steak with a buttload of salad. Desert/after dinner has either been that retarded casein/yoghurt thing or a single scoop of WPI/casein with water before bed. There will occasionally yet rarely be a WPI shake during the day, occasionally I will snack on some walnuts, otherwise the only thing on top of the above are 2 or maybe 3 coffees with skim milk and no sugar. That's it. Apparently 500g of rump steak has like 110g protein according to the app, for example. I've had this for dinner 4 times over the past 6 days. Tell me if the app is giving me a ludicrous figure from this info. Either way, it "works" for me so I fail to see the problem here, even if it is WAY too much.

Yeah it seems my fats and carbs are likely a bit low haha, only hovering around the 200g carbs per day mark...which is odd since over the last 2 months I've only really cut out my former 1L of full cream milk and large bowl of cereal I used to have every day. I was making steady lean mass gains without putting on too much fat while always feeling full of energy (bar whenever my sleep was shithouse) so I was happy with my diet previously... I do agree however, I could definitely do with a bit more carbs right now. I'm feeling a bit down on energy lately. Kinda sick of brown rice too, though last couple of days I've been hitting the oats pretty hard. Also I didn't actually realise my protein intake was that high. I'm not actually trying to get it around 400g/day, it just happens to be there from what I'm eating lately apparently....and given I'm enjoying my current diet enough and am satisfied with results (bar lack of energy from carbs) I'm not necessarily gonna cut it back heaps, maybe just slightly rework it. Thanks for the advice anyway though mate

lol yeah I know it just falls into a category of words and terms that piss me off due to the way they're almost devolving the English language.

"Intake" is generally defined as everything before the combustion chamber.

It just says there's a restriction somewhere.

It's called "myfitnesspal", it's got a whole database of foods in it, like everything you could imagine. Also has a barcode scanner feature. Some things are difficult to work out how much you're actually eating, otherwise it's pretty good. Unfortunately I believe its database relies on public submissions, so you'll find some inaccuracies. I've got Albuterex now. Got it REALLY cheap, so I figured why the hell not give it a shot. Didn't expect much, and rightly so lol. It's pretty much just a pre-trainer. Loads of caffeine and some other random stims. I don't think it would do much for weight loss short of being a diuretic. Definitely not worth the RRP that's for sure! Personally, I'm kinda blaming it for horrific indigestion I get during workouts...but not definitively. On the plus side, it tastes pretty decent when you water it down plenty...but for the price if you really need to get a pre-trainer kinda supp look elsewhere.

f**k that term. I don't even know the exact definition of it, but it's a stupid way to word it lol. Considering the amount of visible fat over the rest of my body, it's very retarded. You can get absolutely nothing from a pinch test almost anywhere else, yet a handful on these spots lol

I've got annoyingly large stores above my glutes on the sides of my lower back. Like what the f**k hahaha

According to the calorie counter app I'm dicking around with, I've been getting nearly 400g of protein most days I've bothered recording. Dafuq that's easier than I though it would be! Not enough carbs though, but meh I'm still around the 3000cal or more mark per day not including the few small things I might have that are too difficult to enter so I don't bother. It recommends 2130cal for maintenance with no exercise so it should be fine. My weight has gone back up a touch to ~74.5kg so all G.

52kw gain is awesome

Depends how you drive it, where you drive it, how far you drive it in one trip, and the conditions (ie air temp etc). I've managed 596km from 56.6L in my R33, which worked out to be like 9.4L/100km. This however was driving sedately from Canberra to Penrith and back. Around town I would only get 400 - 450km from the same amount due to continuous stopping at intersections, as well as driving a bit more aggressively.

There a story to this?

So unbelievably humble. Such a thankful, peaceful guy.

Snap.

I already squat lots but I agree lol f**k YEAH

That gearbox is tempting...and maybe the clutch...ugh

Tempting, given how f**king badly my car needs a wash! hahaha

Honestly though, after getting through just over half of it like I said I kinda felt sick lol. It really was like eating cake mix. My gut said no.

Well the idea occurred to me as a replacement for desert for those who can't deal with their sweet tooth cravings (not myself)...so having a caloric value the same as a normal large meal isn't ideal

Because it's a disgusting example. Haven't washed it in a touch over a month, and will be stretched for time before weekend so I doubt it has a chance at receiving anything more than a shitty DIY booth wash. Engine bay needs degrease and clean. Interior need a vacuum BADLY. Pretty much it's an embarrassing car.

I got halfway through it before I felt sick, so while the taste isn't super strong it's definitely a bit much for me to stomach heaps of haha. good thing too, it's undoubtedly somewhere near 600cal hahahahaha
