Honestly, I’ve been chasing macros for a month and a half now, and I can almost get in the headspace of this guy.
It’s been a big change in how I eat, and in what I cram down my gullet. Thankfully, I’m taking a long view approach to this, rather than just looking at a number and doing what I can to hit it. Instead of eating 6 chicken breast every day for the rest of my life, I’m learning meal prep, and cooking things that actually sound good and support the overall objective of my protein and carbs intake targets
Naked Pea Protein (unflavored) is the best damned supplement I’ve found. Just FYI in case you need a little extra help.
Pea protein is usually blended with rice protein to make a complete protein. Pea protein on its own isn’t complete.
It still has amino acids, just not in the quantities required to be considered complete. But if you’re supplementing a couple times per day, and still eating well, then its a great option. I added 25 pounds of lean muscle in about 9 months using pea protein as my primary supplement, and Think bars as secondary. I tried to only eat the Think bars when I was pressed for time, or on the go, since they’re kind of high in fat.
