Yeah it's hard to eat enough protein if you're not trying to gain weight, that said, I don't really like the taste of WPC and tend to find it bloats me, so I prefer blends or WPI. I do have to tell a lot of people that I don't think that protein powder has any magical effects etc etc though.

I can definitely agree with you on the idiotic notion that protein powder is absolutely required to build muscle, and is treated like some kind of magic dust hahaha

I don't necessarily think it's too difficult to hit protein targets through normal food intake, though anything above 200g for me personally ain't coming from foods. It's doable for sure, however lately I've been struggling with bloating (and absolutely no f**king idea why....), so I'm resorting to powders a lot more just to avoid feeling like shit.....coz that's counter productive in my books. Bloat = no interest in training (ESPECIALLY squats and deads) = no progress.

Like today I've so far consumed no more than a single regular flat white coffee, and like 125g of lamb w/ 100g each of brown rice and veg. Other than that, I only just finished my shake I started drinking over an hour and a half ago. Admittedly it was 4 scoops of WPC to make up for the lack of real food....but I feel FULL. Like I just ate a f**king baby.

She's not vegan but doesn't like milk

Eats eggs, Greek yoghurt, broccoli, tofu, cheese, bananas, spinach, bread, maxibons etc.

I doubt it's 150gm without shakes, but with them she would be around that

It's around 150g without shakes. I used my fitness pal, when I was first calculating my macros, so I think I have a better idea. I don't use calorie counters anymore as I eat the same foods regularly and know the protein count of them. For example; my morning snack is chobani yoghurt (Greek) which contains 17.4g protein per 170g container. My breakfast averages to 36g of protein (oats, banana, maca powder, flaxseeds, hemp seeds, linseeds) My afternoon snack is 2 eggs with 2 slices of grain bread which is 48g protein for the eggs and 9g for the bread. Lunch and dinner vary but always contain at least 1 cup of broccoli which alone is 50 calories. Add in tofu, beans, spinach, quinoa, brown rice, legumes, chickpeas, lentils..

I eat around 2000 calories a day, it's not hard for me to obtain 150g protein from the foods I consume.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
