Im not exactly sure what u mean by this,but im guessing u mean you first have to get metabolism up?bc from what i read most of you dont sit all day long,in fact some even have physical jobs. So,i expected them to at. Least or consume even more daily.4peatssake said:He's pretty clear of the context, though - underlined above.Dutchie said:Coincidentally I stumbled upon this quote from Ray in an article on the site of Lita Lee:
"Muscle meats and liver contain too much tryptophan for an adult if those are the main protein source, and will contribute to hypothyroidism, etc., but when the metabolic rate is optimal, most adults who aren't completely sedentary probably should have around 130 to 150 grams. If their calorie consumption is around 3000 kcal per day, that's about 25% of the calories as protein. "
Apparently,3000cals doesn't seem so strange to Ray.
But i get the point,i only wonder if its not a cycle you unsubconsciously are stuck in bc you never raise calories,so no raised metabolism when eating to satiety/hunger/fullness etc.?
I also wonder when you know metabolism is up,apart from temp/pulse bc they can be false indicators in some cases as well?
@j do you really think its that black&white that sitting much of the. Day with a bit of walking with high metabolism requires that many cals for (leanish) maintenance? Now,in another peat interview i read he feels best with 150gr.of protein yet he says hes a sedentary person. So,based on his quote above he must eat around 3000 too then?i wonder what his activity is li?e on a day and if he still eats this way since quotes are older,especially given his age?
