imho eating 3tins of tuna or 3 chicken breasts at same is purely a waste of cash. Your body when not on cycle can only breakdown 40g of protein every 2-3 hours the rest gets shitted out

Me and kieron always have this debate

But i agree with your point as using eating to get a good routine. It defo helps and gets your motivated. I weight 80kg's. I dont take more than 180g of protein a day. However i noticed more gains when i increased my carbs. Everyone's different though
