So I ran out of money and lived on vegetable soup and rye bread for a week. Basically no protein at all. My head cleared up, I felt fresher and more relaxed. I've noticed this before, as in the more protein heavy my diet is the more brain fog i get. Downsides to not eating a lot of protein was obvious; my lifts went down and I didn't feel like working out, but I made clear mental gains instead. Why does this happen? Do I have to choose between mental gains and muscle?

How much protein do you actually eat when you go protein heavy? I believe that most training people get plenty already.
>>
Did you eat less of anything as you're protein consumption increased?
You may have gotten brain fog from eating less vegetables and carbs rather than more protein.

But is protein really the only difference in your diet? It might be a function of total calories

I ate the same amount of fruit and veggies, but less varied during my poor week. I usually switch between loads of different things, but that week I only ate cabbage, onion and carrots (cheapest stuff)

Same amount of calories, I replaced protein calories with calories from rye.

*also ate some apples

>>39670051
probably due to replaced carbs
carbs help the brain -- hence a lot of people on keto/atkins report brain fog

also note, same amount of calories but I spent more time hungry because bread doesn't satiate much.

But hunger tho >>39670065
Also, I don't eat low carb. I can eat a lot of carb and still get brain fog.
