I wasn't suggesting gluten is bad for you. I'm suggesting it makes you tired. Same with milk. I guess gluten supposedly doesn't make everyone tired, but it does for me and there is a thing such as gluten intolerance. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/gluten-make-tired-8804.html Or just google "gluten tired" and browse some of the results. I try to stay away from processed foods/drinks and grains largely fall under them for what it's worth. Could be a part of the equation you haven't considered but might start noticing if you look for a correlation and depending on how much of your diet has gluten in it. Also, if you want something protein rich, raw unprocessed nuts such as pumpkin seeds, almonds or walnuts are an absolutely stellar source for that in addition to being superfoods for a variety of other nutrients as well. Also gluten free (-:

Nuts suck as protein source, at least mine do. My almonds are 6g protein / 160 calories. I require 180g protein a day so 4800 calories, which is unfeasible of course.

My  ground turkey on the other hand is 22g protein / 160 calories. A much more manageable 1300 calories if I choose. Of course I mix it with a lot of other proteins foods, and the nuts are a good healthy snack. Just not for protein.

Edit: Actually here is an article that will explain it better than me. https://www.heathernicholds.com/nutrition/protein-in-nuts

Be better off eating Peas :).

Interesting, I never looked into it that much. I just know that pumpkin seeds, walnuts, almonds are very nutrient dense and pack a decent amount of protein. There's other benefits to eating it aside from the protein. But ground turkey is a great call too. Don't really care for peas tbh d: I'm also not a weight lifter so that's not as important to me
