So now I do about 80 to 100 grams of protein, which is significantly less than what I was doing.

So before I was doing like 150 or something like that.

Now I'm at like 80 to 100 grams of protein a day.

Is that just slowing down how long it takes to build muscle for me?

But that is also more aligned with my goals because I'm able to do that with a calorie deficit.

Whereas if I was to eat 150 grams, I'd probably been a calorie surplus obviously on plant-based, so that applies to it.

But also because honestly, I was struggling with like, my gut was not enjoying eating 150 grams of protein.

Yeah.

My gut just couldn't take that.

Do you hear that at all from people where they just can't digest that amount of protein?

Yeah, got it.

Yeah, I need to find a way to, I'm testing different protein sources as well, being plant-based, like really feeling like the powders and the bars and stuff are just not great and trying to find them naturally, but without adding the calorie surplus.

Which is like a really interesting dynamic.

No, she agrees.

We're both tinkering with this stuff all the time.

Yeah.

And I think the reason why I wanted to have this very open and honest conversation with you here on the show is because I think this is the kind of stuff people are really dealing with and struggling to.

Totally.

Where they're just like, well, what about this?

And what about this?
