The desperate search by body-builders and athletes for any source of protein after an intense work-out. Obsessed with ensuring they consume a substantial amount of protein within the half-hour "window" after their work-out, body-builders and athletes scourge the surrounding neighborhood/kitchen/city for sources of protein. The Protein Hunt often ends in frantic consumption of a burger, a glass of milk, several eggs, or something similar.
Jimbo: "Yo man, you want to come over and play some video games?"
Mike: "Nah dude I can't, I just maxed out at the gym and now I'm on the Protein Hunt. But while I've got you on the phone, do you know any good places to grab a burger around here?"
