Yes. Yes to all of this. The silly bro science from gym rat types has infected a lot of the public mind, that’s for sure…

Another corollary to this is the one people use is that “but I’m an athlete”. LOL, no. Just because you have a gym membership and go for a bi-yearly jog does not make one an athlete. People seem to have severely perverted that term for one, and secondly, except for the very most extreme of athletes, the protein in the typical diet (omnivore or otherwise) is probably more than sufficient.

But yeah, if someone has done even one pushup in the past year they think they have to maximize their protein intake to keep their muscle gains, bro!
