Title: 500g of protein is hard to reach...
Post by: theworm on September 15, 2007, 06:41:38 AM
Very hard, very expensive, very time consuming.  Post your diets where you are getting 2g per pound of body weight.

No its not. Just eat a cup of egg whites and protien shake for every meal and don't get any carbs. You are looking at about 80 grams per meal.

this is as close as I've gotten...

3 shakes a day 3scoops each... 225
2lbs of steak...15 grams per 4oz... 120
10 hard boiled eggs @7 grams each....70
a can of tuna... 32

I don't eat that much anymore unless I start to see recovery issues or signs of over training where there once wasn't to help bring things back up to par..

Depends on the person, and if the body is anabolic or not.  If not you beating your head against the wall and putting you kidneys in the "Crippler Crossface".  - Sorry Chris Benoit..rip.

On a side note I throw carbs in with my shakes, mix it with Fruit Punch to get some quick that will burn off fast, and usually use carbs like brown rice and sweet potatoes with my solid meals. 

Just gotta find out what works best for you.  If I go low or no carbs, I actually lose weight. 

Edit: When trying to increase your protein do it in a gradual progression, it is hard to do.  Just like dieting down, most quit before they hit their goal.  Aim for 1g per pound, then 1.25g per pound etc.... this will make it comfortable and get your body used to bigger portion sizes. 

Once in the 400g/day range You may find yourself drinking protein shakes with meals too.

you dont think it depends on the size of the person?

Ronnie Coleman at 300 pounds might have higher protein needs than say joe shmoe at 150 pounds?

bullshit. no one needs 2g protein per pound of bw.

not even a pro bodybuilder who is dieting hard.

also been seeing lots of threads about amount of needed amounts of carbs, amounts of needed protein bla bla bla...and the scary thing is that most of the posts are absolute bullshit and are perpetuating old myths and just full of ignorance.

protein need is relative to bw and if your trying to add muscle or not.

if you loose weight its because your eating less calories than you use per day. simple as that. for example:

if you ate 300g of protein and 1000g fat per day and zero carbs you would not loose any weight..infact you would become an obese pig.

its not a matter of what works for you. its a basic thermodynamic premise. which cant be circumvented if your not using toxic drugs that induce your body to become a furnace.

DNP of example, should not be used by ANYONE. as for second question: yes!! if your talking about calories in vs calories out that is. you need to be in a caloric surplus to gain muscle and vice versa. (unless your a total newbie..a newbie can sometimes somehow, dont know how, add muscle and loose fat for a short period of time)

sometimes the bullshit about everyone is different is taken too far....people are actually alot more like than different. it not like we are talking about pigs and elephants.


i read several of your posts about nutrition dballn..and i have found some mistakes. but i dont have the time to comment on everything right now.

Well then, I agree to disagree to some extent, as I do agree with you on some things.  It is not like I am trying to start some Adonis principals or something like that.  I think many take the Total Calories theory to far. 

For me carbs work better as an energy source.  Some prefer fats.  I like that I can manipulate my weight better by carbs, using fastburning and slow burning carbs.  That is all, there are several roads that will lead you to the destination, the road I take, is different than the road you take.

Very hard, very expensive, very time consuming.  Post your diets where you are getting 2g per pound of body weight.

That is 2 g per kilogram (1000g) of your lean BW, not per pound. You shouldn't mix metric units to that nonsense which you are using out there, but anyway; one pound is about 0.454kg so you could calculate it from that. And it is from lean body weight, so first you have to know you body fat %, and take it out from calculation. 2g per 1kg means 200g for a guy whose "dry" weight is 100kg, and that isn't so much for one day. Some egg whites, some chicken breast, some red meat etc.

funny thing is that you think its hard to eat 500g protien a day,,your body doesnt know wether you give it liquid or solid meals,,it dont care either,,liquid meals you will have to eat every 2 hours and solid meal every 3-4 hours,,if you sit on your ass all day long doing nothing you can eat both type of meals every 3 hours sometimes even 4,,

10 little carton of egg whites papetty usa foods = 500 gram protien,,in usa it is about 2-3 dollars per one little carton and that means you need  to spend 25$ a day inorder to get your 500 gram protien and at the same time you can be vegeterian and eat no meat! if you dont like taste of pesturized egg whites you just add into it crystal light poweder pink lemonde taste or cranberry caffeine taste thing that has caffeine in it and zero sugar,,that make those eggwhites taste like heaven,,mixed with spoon and its real food not protien poweder which is also ok if you want to add it sometimes

you just got here over 500gram of protien a day for 25$ with out eating even one single meal of meat or fish

saying all that,,you still dont need more than 1.75 gram protien per pound for growth to happen,,sometimes even less,,2 gram per lb should be plenty and you beter be on hormones while takin 2 gram per lb

if your only source of calories is protein; and your consuming 350 grams of protein; that is only a caloric total of 1400 daily calories.

I actually have to agree w/Candidate on this one.  Not that eating that much is necessary (unless on hormones of course) but it simple math. 

350grams at 4 cals per gram = 350 x 4 = 1400cal. 

That being said, unless you are very anabolic you don't really need more that a gram per pound.  If you are going to increase do it gradually.  1g per pound, then 1.25g per pound, 1.5g per pound etc.  Just jumping into 2g per pound is hard, try it for a week and you'll probably quit, plus you body won't be used to the drastic change and like coach said above, you'll just end up $hitting it out.


Yeah....  TP has the kidneys of a 500g/day guy!  ;D

For a natural, even 350g is far more than you need.  The largest requirement I've seen in peer-reviewed scientific studies on weight-training athletes is .75g/lb of lean mass.  If you want to be safe and to keep it simple, up it to 1g/lb of bodyweight (unless you're squadfather-like fat), but for a 200-lb guy that's only 200g max.  Although I haven't seen studies on AAS and protein, it makes absolute sense that a gear-user would require more, since AAS increases protein synthesis in the body, but these idiots like Dante Doggshit advocating 400-500+ g/day for a natural are full of it.

Exactly.  It's a complete waste for a natural bodybuilder to use more than 1 gram per pound of lean body mass unless precontest dieting.

Steroids will definitely increase the rate of protein synthesis but even then more than 1.5 grams per pound of lean mass is probably not necessary unless dieting.

At natural bodybuilding, he is.


Now, if I were on a gram of test a week, plus generous amounts on GH and 'slin, Milos is probably the first guy I'd go to for advice (as long as he didn't try to put me on Snake OilTM  ;D).
