Protein Intake

[MCWAY]

I have a really hard time getting over 125g of protein per day (if that).

I don't understand why you people act like it's so easy...

Because it IS so easy, especially with the supplements of today. You can get 80 to 100 grams of protein in two shakes EASILY. I'll consume that much BEFORE LUNCH.

For example:

7:00 AM - Body Fortress Whey Protein: 26 g
9:00 AM - Three Whole Eggs, Turkey Sausage/Liver Tablets: 30-35 g (depending on size of eggs and type of turkey sausage or number of liver tablets).
10:30 AM - Myoplex*: 42 g

That's nearly 100 grams or protein......before lunch time. I don't think getting another 25 is a major problem, especially with a meal of ground beef and mixed veggies on tap at noon today.

*: Actually, that's Myoplex LITE with half a scoop of protein powder; I got a box of 20 on sale for $10 at GNC.

I have 300 g a day (I weigh 230)


I'd like to take in more, but with all that I'm stuffed!



I didn't see any protein shakes in your list there?  That would help!

[PJim]

I grow and diet perfectly fine on 100-150 grams a day...

Indeed, it would!!

Right now, I'm at about 140 grams of protein, with four meals (two solid, two liquid) to go.

Try to shoot for 1.25-1.5g per lb of body weight, that will be enough. Especially if u have a good amount of carbs in there.

6 meals a day, 30-50g protein per meal, no problems at all to eat +200g in a day, add a shake or two and your at 250-300g.

[Eyeball Chambers]

Thanks for the advice, I'm working on it!

[MAXX]

Yesterday I had:

6 Eggs 31g

2 Chicken Breasts 32g

1 Salmon fillet 18g

81g total, WTF

3 meals?? and nothing else but that. how many calories is that 700... starvation diet?

try 5 atleast. get minimum 50 protein in each meal. and add a shake after workouts.

It was about 2000, had vegetables, rice, and toast.

My wife's eating around 150 grams daily and she's dieting...and she's around 140...

I guess I'm just a fucking pig, I can take down 300g with no shakes, no problem.  I shoot for 315g minimum, tried the 1g per lbs of BW, I just like to eat.

If 315g will give you a build like I see in your avatar, I'll do 315g starting now.

I do fine on 100 grams or less per day.

Overrated IMO

[dodger]

that DR.M DI paquale dude says you should be getting only around 20 grams per serving,any more is a waste,i dont know but i no i dont get what some of you guys are getting(grams) but im still 235lbs,i dont eat any high glyceric foods or simple carbs.even when i was 294lbs i wasnt getting anywheres near the proteins you guys are eating,but i was getting a lot of carbs obvisiously,i went years like this to but now im trying to get small and leaner......man thats a lot protein from some of you guys,hope you all have a good functioning liver,lol

Thanks man.  I've always been a big eater, was a fat kid growing up.  I also take in around 1.5lbs of veggies a day.  My P/C/F numbers right now are 315/235/40.  I tried the higher carb, low protein, moderate to high fat diet and honestly, I felt like shit on it.  I can take my carbs much lower than this here, like around 130 or so and not be too hungry with plenty of energy.  I'd bump the fat up to 50g or so if I did that though.  Just try something out for 8 weeks or so, track your progress, then do the same thing with a different protocol.  You'll find what works for you, I'm always refining my shit, that's what makes it fun I think.

Thanks, yeah I've been experimenting a lot too, I've learned a lot about my body.  I was pretty chubby before I started, but I guess most of the shit I'm into is fats and carbs, I can down a gigantic steak like the next guy though.

I here that man lol.  I wish my body could process fats better, I have to really watch the red meat intake because of that.  It is what it is though, we take what we have and make the best out of it.

Yep!  Thanks again for the advice!

Hahaha! Congrats! My wife's eating around 150 grams daily and she's dieting...and she's around 140... 


Or you just joking or what?

Hot looking wife Steve, whats her background?

[4thAD]

3oz chicken no skin = approx 26 grams protein

Agreed.

Well, either you weigh less than a bag of feathers or please tell me how you get 3000+ calories when you only eat 100g protein?

Overrated or not, protein intake just has to be high because otherwise you will get too much carbs or fat in you diet.

That's not what the label says, but I'll take your word for it!

3000 calories?

I doubt I ever eat above 1500.

Not everybody eats tons of food.

If I eat too much, I get fat. Simple as that.

I don't want my whole day to be consumed by thoughts of food.

Keep your mind off it and you don't crave it. Keep busy

I'm used to the feeling of hunger, it keeps me lean.

[Tapeworm]

That's not what the label says, but I'll take your word for it!

Wait, label?  Are we talking canned chicken here?  (Learn to cook dammit.)  Could be superhydrated if it's been soaking in a can, so lots of waterweight bringing down the protein per oz.
