Title: question for Big guys dieting ...
Post by: Pet shop boys on February 27, 2014, 12:18:21 PM
I have a friend that will b competing this spring on East coast he is about 6'3" tall, 274 lbs, with 12 % BF, he's planning to compete at 250...

He showed me his diet, (gear and all) and for the next 4 weeks he will be taking about 372 grams of protein daily   (I honestly think that amount is way too high) wasting Protein

I t think when you're on the right "protocol" you could eat 250 grams or 350 of protein and wont tell a difference..

Could be wrong though ......what do you say ?



WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH

^^THIS^^

He`s taking a decent amount for repair/recovery, as well as to maintain muscle size while leaning out based on his bodyweight.

Just my opinion,I do believe that the tons of protein taken by most people is definiately overkill and not needed at all.

He needs to do a lot of zero to 50 gram carb days to get ripped in time IMO.
