I ate 150g of food protein yesterday which is about 1g per lb for my body weight.
I had two pork chops, a hamburger patty, yogurt, whole milk, ham and cheese. And potatoes and rice for carbs, two small salads for micronutrients.
Today I feel like my muscles are all strong and tight, as if I just got back from a good full body workout.
This happens to me often the day after I get good meals in with lots of protein.
Probably glycogen replenishment and the extra water stored with it.
Or placebo.

I just checked and I had 147g of carbs which is pretty normal.
I only feel this way the next after eating lots of protein, particularly good food based protein.
I typically only have 90-110g which is too low.
travistee:
food based protein.
There’s that phrase again.
How Is this different from non food protein?
I usually supplement with whey protein bars or shakes. It helps but you miss out on a lot of other nutrients found in real food.

Oh I see. So you are using supplements as meal replacements instead of supplements and then you are amazed at how you look/feel when you eat actual meals. Gotcha!

This is not a thing. It’s likely a glycogen pump or placebo as others have said.

If the pump was “protein dependent,” then what would the lack of micronutrients in supplements have to do with it?

Protein pump sounds like a new Fleshlight product or some shit
