I Can't Eat Anymore Cottage Cheese! (Or, How I Eat 300 Grams of Protein a Day)

Dude. Holy shit. I mean, really. 300g doesn't seem like a lot, does it? But, when you think about it... that's a metric fuckton of protein! It's really NOT easy to do, but with all the lifting (5 days a week), I need it. And it's not going to waste. My biceps are now 18", compared to only 15" about 2 months ago. I know that none of you are really ( Read more... )

Actually, yes 300g of protein seems like an impossible amount. Ugh. Is this a doctor's orders kind of thing? Do you add flax seed oil to your protein shakes?

What kind of cottage cheese are you eating? I have hypoglycemia so I say fuck off, low fat. (I need more fat than sugar in my diet) I eat the small curd kind. I love it. A lot. The Alta Dena small curd is like ...::ahem:: 4% milkfat but it's 15g of protein per 1/2 cup. It tastes awesome, to me...When I eat it with fruit I almost feel like I'm getting away with eating cheesecake or something.

Have you tried buffalo meat? It's got less fat & cholesterol than beef and chicken, but more protein! Look into it. It's the only red meat I'll eat. Delicious stuff. It's like a leaner beef (with the benefit of no growth hormones, steroids, or antibiotics)

You should also look into quinoa. It's a grain that I suppose is similar to couscous and it's higher in protein than couscous or rice. I think it's something like 14g per 100g serving (100g uncooked, that is)

Also, have you heard of the book "Diet For A Small Planet"? It's one of my favorites. It teaches you all about complete proteins and how to eat high protein. It even has charts of each different food group comparing protein levels!

OK I'd either better shut the fuck up or start to sing and dance so I can be more like school house rock. I'll shut the fuck up about the protein, now. Except to say, rock on, to have that kind of discipline. You deserve all the rewards for doing that shit!

You're inspiring me (even though I already fucking can't stand my damn self) I need to get in shape again. My fucking sanity depends on it. I now HOW to get in shape, my body just needs to agree with my brain. Fucking god damn sciatica.

Hey, are you going to comic con?
I have the embroidery thread for your own personal CUNTPUNCHER (I love taking things out of context bwaha) and I'll get on that ...mission as soon as con is over and my mind is more clear. I need to take my aggression out on something. Embroidery thread seems to be suitable...right?? (Sorry It's taking so long. Life is really fucked right now. We had to borrow money from both of my parents just to cover the rent for September. After that...we're out on our asses. But Ron will have a job before then. I'm sure of it.)

I need to learn not to ramble.
