Ok so I’m 135lb, and I’ve been on a consistent diet of 185g of protein a day. Made all types of gainz.
Yesterday I had only 100g protein because I ran out of meal preps. I also worked out yesterday, so I’m wondering if I made proper recovery for muscle growth.
To make matters worse, I only slept for 6 hours last night. So my question is, did I destroy my muscles? Do I have less, the same, or more muscle today than yesterday?
>pic unrelated, I just picked something from my camera roll. His huge arms are kinda a goal for me.
Rome wasn't built (or destroyed) in a day, you retard. Also, you don't need 185g of protein.

Well, if you think those arms are huge you probably don't have any muscle to lose, so don't worry about a thing.
But seriously, you'll be fine. 6 hours is fine. Arnold slept 6 hours at most because he considered more sleep a waste of time. 100g is fine too. The 2g of protein per 1lbs of bw is a meme created by the supp industry to sell whey. In reality only steroid users can gain any benefits from that much protein, because steroids increase protein synthesis.
I don’t believe those arms are world class but they’re huge to the average normie. Of course I want to get bigger than them but Thor’s arms are a reachable milestone
side note because you seem new, don't be afraid of sodium. I fell into that pit my first couple years of lifting and ate food that tasted like shit and I hated my life because of it. These days I eat like 4000 mg of sodium a day and just drink more water to make up for it.

Meal preps are for fucking retards

I just cook my chicken once every few days. My carb choice is ramen noodles or canned corn (idgaf everything else tastes like shit) so its easy to make.

>135 lbs
don't worry bro, you never had any gains to begin with

Are you autistic

You only need around 100g of protein a day at that weight, 135g if you're cutting which you shouldn't be. One bad day doesn't destroy your gains. If you ate a bad meal would you become a 300lb whale the next day?

You got me there

Sad and stupid pulled.
Try reading an experiment on 1.5g/lb+ protein a day
Mason Johnson
Almost every professional bodybuilder eats a diet consisting of mostly chicken breast.

>Try reading an experiment on 1.5g/lb+ protein a day i challenge you to show me 3 (three) studies that recommend a protein intake above 1.5g/lb. Pro tip: you can't, because there's only one.
Austin Mitchell
pshhh

YOU WHAT???? Can't believe what I just read. Only 6 hours? Bro, you should straight up kys, your muscles will NEVER be the same volume, and you hindered you max potential FOREVER. Hell, there is even a study (google it) where they show that the body EATS its own muscles to cope for the immense lack of sleep. And you were on a protein overload lately? Your muscles are basically fighting to eat themselves now. What a retard! How could you do this to yourself?
