Hate to think how much muscle mass you lost without protein. Loss of weight lifting strength has always pissed me off when I do lose deliberately.
“Hate to think how much muscle mass you lost without protein.”
There is protein in kale and spinach (and peas and beans ...), but you have to eat a lot of it to get your RDV.
Its the amino acids you need that make up protein so in effect, you lose none of the amino acids. I also added 25 grams a day of protein powder a day so that’s the same as a 12 oz steak
