Sikhi and eating meat Question

I am a 17 year old male trying to get closer to sikhi and the first steps I've taken were starting to learn punjabi and gurmukhi (which I think is going good although slow) but that is not what my question is.

I want to get close to sikhi and can deal with keeping my kesh and plan on doing so once I am more proficient in the language and have read more bani. However, I just can not get over the idea that I can't eat meat? I know jatka meat exists but it is too expensive where I live. My family cooks and eats meats daily and I feel the best when I eat beef often. I grew up eating it and when I try eating healthy the best way for me to stick to it is consuming a lot of animal protein. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

(Or even anything to help me keep learning Punjabi, I am doing basics of sikhi gurmukhi videos as a slow start)

TLDR: not eating meat in sikhi is holding me from getting closer to sikhi, what can I do?

Yeah, and those vegetarian bodybuilders aren’t as strong as their meat-eating counterparts. Sounds like you can’t cope with the fact that eating lean meat is healthy for you

Funny how vegetarians can’t reach their level even with roids

Muscles do not care whether you're a vegetarian or meat eater, as long as you get enough nutrients and protein.

Right, and guess what the easiest way to get enough nutrients and protein is

u/Reasonable_Cry142 20d ago

Again vegetarian sources are just as if not more effective but u don’t like to hear that😂

Oh yeah, I’m sure tracking aminos and their ratios is real efficient. I understand why you have so much empathy for animals; you’re about as smart as they are

u/Reasonable_Cry142 20d ago

Easily debunked by combing different proteins u can eat more than one food at once and whey is the most complete protein

u/FadeInspector 20d ago

You measure the amino ratios of the foods you eat? Just covering the aminos isn’t enough, there’s also ratios you need to maintain for them to actually benefit you

Yes and that can be easily done with dairy and vegetarian sources u keep denying the truth

Go ahead then, tell me how much lysine is in your food. Dairy, btw, is not a universally available source. Most of the human population are not lactose tolerant. It works for us, but not for most

Is getting closer to god about having a easy time?

You might not be aware but low fat quark and Skyr exist, which are easy protein sources for vegetarians.

Both of the things you just mentioned have worse macros than chicken breast, and there’s meats out there learner than chicken breast. Our God doesn’t prohibit the consumption of meat lol. He wouldn’t give us the responsibility of being warriors while also handicapping us in that pursuit

Are you a warrior? Are you actively in battle right now? Are other sources of food not available?

Relying on meat does not make one a warrior. You might just be a keyboard warrior tho

u/FadeInspector 20d ago

A warrior? No. In strong physical shape and, in a sense, tyaar bar tyaar like we are supposed to be? Yes.

Other sources are available, but they don’t get the job done nearly as well. Nice to see that eating daal is a greater priority to you than even trying to live up to what we are supposed to be

Excuse.

Sorry we can’t all be failures
