    If you drink protein shakes and don’t work out, it will turn into fat almost like carbs. Just making sure you know that, because protein stuff is marketed as healthy and some people don’t work out and consume it and will be unpleasantly surprised when they get a huge belly after a few months. If you work out tho, it’s fine.

      I do work out fortunately. Lifting pretty heavily and about 40 minutes of cardio 5x a week. Just trying to cut for once in my life and sometimes life throws a curveball.

      It’s not a cheat day, it’s just a bonus dirty bulk day right?

      Fun fact: doctors will recommend you drink protein shakes if you’re chronically underweight or similar

      For example: my dad is stupid thin and doctors make him drink at least 3 a week. My Dr makes me have one any time my Adderall makes me go a day or more without eating, or makes me feel as though I’m not hungry (I’ll actually throw up even if I haven’t eaten in days sometimes, which is fun)

      Just a related fun fact
