Summary
Dominic McGovern argues that tracking protein has become an eating disorder for boys, calling out the "protein industrial complex" that markets high-protein versions of foods that already contain protein, like yogurt and milk. He admits he's guilty of it himself, tracking 129 grams yesterday while aiming for 176. The sexual tension is unparalleled. They joke about protein cigarettes and protein vodka sodas before lamenting how hard it is to get in shape without activating eating disorder sleeper cells, blaming hot buff guys for ruining the Adam Sandler era.

So, what's your take? Tracking your protein is eating disorder for boys.
Wow. 100% agree.
Sorry. Not everything needs to have protein in it.
Not everything needs to cost a million pounds more and have so much protein in it. I went to the shop literally on the way here and I was I saw protein yogurt. Do you know what's got protein in it? Yogurt.
Yogurt.
Sorry. Yogurt.
Why am I paying more for protein milk when milk's already got protein in it?
I don't think you need that much protein.
Well, I think you need some for sure.
Yeah. But not that. You need like one chicken breast full.
Yeah.
A day.
Raw. Or like some eggs.
I think put protein in fun stuff.
See, I disagree with that.
Protein cigarette.
No. No. Oh, okay. I agree.
Protein beer.
Okay, I agree with that.
Protein vodka soda lime.
Okay, I agree with that.
Yeah.
I thought you were going to say something like cereal.
They already do that. There's already it tastes like cardboard.
You know what you could get instead of protein cereal?
Yeah.
Couple eggs.
Couple of eggs.
Protein comes in the egg.
Everything now is like marketed towards like tracking your protein. Measure your protein. It's like I don't like having to track my protein. I don't like having to have this app.
Oh, you do it?
Oh, yeah. You are guilty of it. Yeah, for sure. And patient zero of boy eating disorder for sure. I would drink rat poison if it had 30 g of protein in it.
Let me feel
jacked. Yeah, it's working.
Thanks.
I don't know.
Okay. Unparalleled the levels of sexual tension between us right now is
it happens.
Obviously, you got to have some protein to like get a bit fit, but like the sort of protein industrial complex that we're currently subject to. I don't know how to drive, but I do know how many calories there are in an egg. That's bad.
Let me see your tracker. I want to know how much protein you've had yesterday.
Um, yesterday. 129 g. Not enough. I up,
dude. You missed your goal. 176 g. That's ridiculous.
Yeah, because because the Rock
I would love to.
I don't want you to get any bigger than you are.
Okay. Thank you so much.
I think you're big enough.
It's so hard to sort of try and get in shape without activating like eating disorder sleeper cells.
Well, you know what the problem is? All these hot guys that are all buff now.
This is the thing. Like
we had a nice moment where regular guys were in.
Yeah. And that was great. Adam Sandler,
