Hi,

Do u think it's really nessecary to eat a lot of protein as bodybuilder suggest it ?

Or may be the body cannot take all that protein ?

theres a thread i made about how much protein people eat.  obviously if you are a bodybuilder you are going to need more than an average joe.  I eat around 250g per day give or take.

Thanks for the links. It's very interssting, I mean I alway thought that u have to eat like 300-400g of prot a day I think a lot of people take to much protein and forget about the other nutriments.

Thanks

I think people underestimate it and don`t keep consistent and take too little protein and they think too hard about other nutrients when they aren`t important so basically the oppisite of what you said and I`m not kidding.

well with 5 meals a day and 3 shakes 400grams of protein is very easily attainable...
but yes you need other nutrients also...and if you are trying to bulk I think calories
are more important than protein and while dieting protein is a must to spare muscle tissue...
from my own personal experience.

I eat approximately 425g Protein, 400g Carbs, and 75g Fat ~ 4,000 calories per day everyday while dieting - this is a 500-750 calorie deficit.

The 425g of protein has approximatly 350g of complete proteins.  The other 75 grams are made up of aminos and protein from veggies and carbs sources. 

On a carb up day I lower the protein to about 200g and make up the other 3,200 calories with complex carbs.  This is the only day my protein level ever changes.

On a low carb day I eat the same 425g of protein and just up the fat a bit to make up the rest of the 4,000 calories.

Carb cycling like this prevents me from ever having to cut calories when dieting.  GH, Clen  & T3 help a lot as well.   

When trying to grow, my protein level stays the same I just up the energy sources/calories: fat & carbs.

you should take 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight. you have to have protein or you will not grow. when first started i could oonly take in 40g. but now i can take in 100g. until your body gets used to that much protein, you will just shit out the rest.

I've never been a big eater but I try to get 250-300gr of protein a day.  IMO, nutrition is THE most important thing you can do while on.  I've gone as low as 500mg of test e a week and ate REALLY good and still made good gains.

Nasser said he doesn't need more than 100g of protein a day.

I dont ever get less than 300g protein per day. If im not hungry or dont have time to eat real meals ill just blend some oats and whey with skim milk and down that.
