I'll never forget when I worked on industrial solar farms for the power grid, I worked with this absolutely jacked bro that would blast EDM on the overnights when it was too hot to legally work in the daytime.
He would crush like 20 egg whites when we'd go to Denny's.
Never really understood how that worked into his diet but it worked for him and he was cool as shit.
20 egg whites is only something like 400 calories (100g protein), a totally reasonable amount of protein to get if you were weightlifting and building muscles. little weird to do it all at once though
That probably had more to do with our working conditions tbh. We would work 12-16 hour shifts, frequently flipping between days and overnights due to the heat.
Eating one big meal after working was all you could do sometimes. You're basically in survival mode. We would also usually split a case of water per day due to sweating so much and staying hydrated.
He would eat like 20 egg whites as well as some other low carb breakfast at Denny's. Then go work out. Dude was a beast lol.
