Protein -- What really is the correct amount?

[QuatroIIII]

Hey flat, if you want to rule the world we need more than my book knowledge and your experience...LOL, my book knoledge extends as far as my playboy magazine's articles..ha ha ha ha..I mean class room theory...LOL
Ohh and as far as telling Juicy girls something...Hummm I better be quiet I don't want the pig to beat me up...he he.
later!
Q
Did I tell daren that his body will absorb about 40 grms per diggestion? (2 to 2.5 hrs) I thougt I did but dont remmeber..he he

I'm gonna put my 2 cents worth in on this one.
I strongly agree with BigWill & Flatline. "2 grams per 1# of bodyweight", anything less you will not grow like you want.

If I go below this formula; natural or juice'n, I loose weight, but like Flatline says everyone is different..

I weigh 230# and take in about 300gm per day and it seems to suit me fine. I asked Nasser El Sonbaty about this at the Arnold a couple years ago and he said that in the off season he only takes in about 100gm per day and doesn't lose weight. He said 80% of his diet off season was carbs and the other 20 was made up of protein and fats. I think everyones body reacts differently to everything. We're all different (DNA).But I'd say not less than 1gm per # of bodyweight MAY suffice. Just my 2 cents

[FlatLine]

I was suggesting 2 grms per lb of body weight for a Bulking cycle while on the juice. When I'm off I go 1 -1.25 grms a day and maintain.

Found this chart thought I'd share!

Lifestyle/Training Goal Daily Protein Needs
Stressed 0.45 - 0.7g/lb bodyweight
Trauma Recovery 0.9 - 1.4g/lb bodyweight
Dieting 0.35 - 1.0g/lb bodyweight
Endurance 0.7 - 0.9g/lb bodyweight
Power & Speed 0.9 - 1.1g/lb bodyweight
Strength & Bodybuilding 1.3 - 1.6g/lb bodyweight

Nice chart. Should be helpful. BUMP

[FlatLine]

Bump for Robyn.

[Robyn]

Aww thanks Flat, that was (sniff) sweet off you. You heard the man now bump this biatch! Anywho, started increasing the ol protein intake to 250g a day, 50 at one sitting. It's making me shit like a mofo but I'll deal. Is Myoplex supposed to have a pudding-like texture when you mix it? It's a good change, I'm getting sick of those digusting whey protein shakes.

[amplified]

Myoplex has a pudding like taste =P. I find taste-wise, musclemilk has all of the whey proteins licked. Only problem is, its expensive. I go for the cheapest thing that my body will accept which happens to be SciFit Econo Whey at this point and time. I try not to stay with the same powder for too long, find I get used to it.

I love posting on threads that are almost a year old. laff

I have read anywhere between 1 and 2 grams per pound of body weight, more if you're juicing. I dunno I am on about 350-400grams right now. I spend alot of time in the bathroom but hey we all have to pay some price.
