MysticMarauder+FollowI Thought More Protein = HealthierI used to count protein grams like prayer beads. 150g daily, minimum. Chicken breast for breakfast, eggs for snacks, protein powder mixed into everything. Then I read about arterial plaque. How the leucine in all that meat I was forcing down might be hardening my arteries. Twenty-two percent of calories from protein—the exact threshold I'd been hitting. I sat in my kitchen staring at my meal prep containers. Six days of the same high-protein meals I thought were saving my health. The irony tastes bitter. I'd been so afraid of carbs, so convinced plants weren't 'enough.' Now I'm googling lentil recipes at 2am, wondering how long I've been choosing fear over actual nourishment. My heart deserved better than my protein obsession. #Health #Diet #ProteinAnxiety40Share
