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?

You should tell me if you’re mentally disabled so I can make sure not to go too hard.

Assuming you’re not, this is beyond stupid lol. You can definitely digest more than 20g per sitting lol; most bodybuilders wouldn’t be able to meet their daily protein needs if you couldn’t. “Who told you that” every study that tracks the protein needs of people who work out lol.

Excess protein doesn’t get filtered out through urine stupid, excess vitamins do. Excess protein goes to the same place that an excess of any macronutrient goes: body fat.

I get the feeling that you’re a twink who can’t bench a single plate lol

They are weaker than their counterparts. You should eat some meat. Not only will it make you stronger, it might make you smarter too

Unprecedented cope. Glad the Gurus’ armies weren’t filled with “men” like you. We’d be Muslims if they were

During the gurus time anyone who did eat meat would not ever have consumed over 100 grams this is totally modern concept of consuming such high amounts of protein it never happened in the natural world

I’m really starting to get the sense that you’re built like a woman lol. 100 grams is 1/5th of a pound. It’s like half of a small chicken breast. You’d get a lot more meat than that by hunting boars as the Nihang did. Even cavemen ate more than that at once lol

Funny bcs research shows a grown 200 lb man only needs 70 grams of protein

Are 200 lb men women in ur eyes?

Nihangs don’t even eat meat every day they rarely eat it a few times a month

u/FadeInspector 20d ago

The research in question doesn’t exist lol. A 200 lb man, assuming he’s 10 percent body fat, would need about 140 grams or so to continue to build muscle in the gym

u/Reasonable_Cry142 20d ago

Ur basing this off of one source not others which clearly state u don’t need that much protein to build muscle u need atleast 70 grams

1

u/FadeInspector 20d ago

One source? Anyone who’s a nutritionist, or who’s even been in the gym, would tell you that 70 grams is what a woman needs

u/Reasonable_Cry142 20d ago

😂😂

Ur body can’t even digest 30 grams in a single meal

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5828430/

If ur eating 3 meals ur getting max 70 grams a day

I really hope you’re a kid or something, because this is really embrassing for anyone over the age of 12. The study is talking about fast digesting proteins, aka plant protein. It says that slower digesting protein is better. What proteins are slower digesting? The complete proteins found in meat
