How I eat a high glycine, high protein, and lower methionine diet

also its  not like they are banning cows, just finding more planet friendly ways to grow them

hell I think a lot of scientists and people running that sort of stuff would be happy with the stuff on this forum. food waste is a big issue. using parts like tendons and feet to make gelatin is really respectful for the animals instead of throwing them away

“also its  not like they are banning cows, just finding more planet friendly ways to grow them”

The term “planet friendly” is meaningless. The planet will be here, no matter what humans do.  Even if every nuclear weapon were set off at once.  It might come close to ending all forms of life on the planet, but the planet would still exist.  I doubt it would even be broken into chunks, like an asteroid belt.  Not that I am in any way recommending such a thing.

In a similar way, there really is no “food waste,” either.  Everything that can be food for some other organism on this planet will be food for some other organism, at some point.

In a sense, everything is natural, and everything comes from the earth, and will return to the earth.  Yes, even your cell phone, TV, and computer are “natural,” in that sense.  They came from the Earth, work with the laws of the universe, and will return to the Earth.  In fact, they are still on the Earth when in use.

With all that said, there can certainly be better and more “environmentally friendly” ways to produce meat and milk and such.  But it isn’t likely that the protocols suggested by institutions like the WEF, United Nations, investment firms like Blackrock, the EPA, or anything suggested under the arm of ESG is going to line up with an individual’s idea of “environmental friendliness.”  The former are likely to favor consolidation of power, control and big business.  Of course, it’s sold to the people as a loving idea of the individual and small farmers and protecting plants and animals and such.  But I don’t think most of the former agenda lines up with the image painted for the public.

Here are some commonly eaten proteins I plugged into Cronometer, coming out to 155g for the day-

Here are the amino acid breakdowns for those proteins together-

Roughly 7g of Glycine, and 4g of Methionine, which is a 1.75:1 Glycine to Methionine ratio.  Pretty low, but standard for the “average” type of proteins most people eat.  If you were to displace some of the chicken or beef with milk or eggs, the ratio would be even lower.

Here is the AA breakdown of a recent day of eating, using the techniques I mentioned above-

In this chart, protein is higher, methionine is lower (and so is cysteine, histidine, and tryptophan), and glycine is waaaaay higher. My glycine to methionine ratio (in diet) is basically 10:1.

10g of that is from glycine powder, but even subtracting that, my dietary glycine is still 3 times higher than the normally eaten proteins.  Proline and alanine are also higher, but not that dramatically.

This is a pretty typical day, and I have been doing this mostly for the past nine months.  Of course, there have been exceptions when travelling, or maybe meeting up with friends for meal out, but I’m hitting this glycine to methionine ratio 6 out of 7 days a week, and even on days when I don’t hit 30, or even 20g of glycine, it’s still much higher than the average proteins I showed at the top of this post.
