My mom dropped some stupid fatlogic tonight... Hey shitlords and ladies. So awhile ago Judo practice ended and I'm at home now. After a shower and cleaning my gi and equipment I make myself a protein shake since I bought a new tub of mix on the way home. I was adding a banana, cocoa powder and peanut butter and my mother(who is overweight to the point of having cottage cheese leg veins) said that started hounding me about my protein consumption. She said that too much can cause kidney failure and then went on saying I eat too much since I eat beans and tofu. Now let me tell you I don;t even eat those things everyday, but I do try to have them often. I also tried to tell her I'm trying to get more muscle since I do Judo(as well as adding on kickboxing, weightlifting,  and swimming soon). So really I need more protein since I'm trying to do more physcal activities. But of course, she still pressed on that I was having too much and then went on to say that protein itself is bad and that you don't need it unless you are starving. Now my mom may be a registered nurse, but I still don't entirely trust her advice since she herself has been out of shape for years yet works in the health profession. And she is always trying to say avoid carbs completely and stuff like that. I remember awhile back in my college biology class we specifically talked abit about this, how back during the 80's/90s there was that thing with the low carb diet which turns out wasn;t as healthy as people think. Yet folks like my mother will still treat stuff like that like the devil. I mean, do they really think that just because they can manage their consumption of that stuff that no one else should ever eat it? In biology today, we discussed how amino acids were proteins(i.e. the essential amino acids.) But of course, there's no logic with fat logic
