This shit tastes wack, it is literally all the chewy bits off a pig refined into a powder.

you don't eat it raw but make a jello sort of thing with it

meat is literally the muscle tissues of different animals and don't even start on eggs

>negative calorie food

are we back to that again?

>Negative calories
>99% protein

If it is negative/zero calories then it does not help you in the protein area you fag

You're not supposed to eat JUST gelatine, eat other foods with it you tard.

>body burns other foods
>body uses gelatine for muscle building

What the fuck is difficult to understand here?!

this is Veeky Forums, the home of spoon feeding.

Wow these geniuses just cracked the code. Enjoy your nogainz

How is this good?

>negative calorie food

then it's not really food, is it

Okay, storytime.

So, I was going keto and decided that aspic was just the thing to make. If you're unfamiliar, it's basically jello with fruit in it except with meat. So, you take unflavored gelatin, use broth to reconstitute it, add your cooked meat (I used turkey breast), and let set.

Here's the problem: if you're eating a lot of this stuff then the gelatin starts to get to you because of how much you need to consume to hit your macros. I decided to "solve" this problem by just using less liquid.

Well, it turns out that gelatin will absorb as much water to be saturated no matter where it comes from. So, if you eat gelatin that isn't fully hydrated, it will suck moisture out of your body until it reaches saturation. I learned this tidbit of information after I passed out from dehydration on the toilet after trying in vain to shit for two days (because desiccated GI tract = constipation too).

Basically, if you want to try this, just learn from my retardation.

>sweetened gelatin
OP was talking about unsweetened gelatin.
>100g
>24 calories
>6g protein

That being said, despite being a good protein source it's "empty calories" it's literally only protein. There are no micronutrients, fiber or minerals to speak of. Might as well just eat chicken breast, which at least has vitamin b12, b6 and potassium along with BCAAs. All around better choice.

So gelatin could replace my protein powder post workout for less money?

that seems good

This thread again

You should have taken a picture while dehydrated. Probably looked shredded as hell.

>99% protein
Wait a moment, are you telling me Jell-O is this protein dense? Tell me more

Oh sweet user, you should mix that with pork rinds which contain 70% protein!
I can't believe how many people fell for the IIFYM meme

Why didn't you just drink more water

I did after I passed out the first time. I didn't realize that was the problem until afterwards.

Gelatine is not a complete protein.
This won't fill your protein requirement the same way whey will simply because it has a deficiency of aminoacids.

is this the stevia of Veeky Forums

this, protein as a main source of protein causes malnutrition

>protein as a main source of protein causes malnutrition
wtf I hate protein now

what do you make out of it?

what about eggs?

How do I eat it and how much does it cost?

Because no one needs proline and glycine as their primary amino acids
Also the concentrations needed for it to really be efficacious leads to a decrease in the bioavailability of other proteins

can you explain how it decreases the bioavailability of other proteins?

your body can't effectively use the protons in gelatins bruv
