here's how much they get per day, based on formula:

0-3 months : 9.1 grams per day
3-6 months: 11 grams per day
12 months: 13 grams per day

as you know, kids grow the most the first year (percentage wise), by doubling (and more) in size.  so a 7 lb kid gets to 14 lbs on 11 grams a day on average.

it's not all about the protein though.

ok, so i was off, sorry.

Not bad though, i wish i could double my weight on 11g of protein, but i guess only gorillas and babies can do that.

Doesn't matter as long as you have thousands of Kanji stored in your head.

A male lion will gorge itself on up to 60 lbs of meat when in reality it only needs about 15 lbs.  All that extra meat it eats does cause various ailments.

It is also prone to being only to sustain short bursts of speed before tiring out quickly...obviously there's a carb deficiency going on.

The whole species needs an overhaul of its diet.  Perhaps Michelle Obumbles will come out with a plate diagram for what a lion really needs.  Smaller portions of protein.

I'm beginning to think that genetics is the biggest component.  Pros can handle the gear necessary to grow as much as they do.  And response to gear is genetic.  Response to gear, structure, muscle attachment sites, etc, are all genetic.  


I used to think like you when I was a teenager and used to read Weider publications monthly.

Well, that's thing when you discuss "protein needs" as opposed to "protein optimization".

I posted these two links uncountable times on this board, i guess no one has read them.

Humans can only create muscle growth through the process of hypertrophy. Hypertrophy  is a physiological response to resistance training which causes muscle cells grow larger in size when there is an increase in the number of sarcomeres present in the myofibril. However, there is a ceiling for all human beings in that regard ( even the ones on gear). Animals on the other hand can actually regenerate new muscle cells through a process known as hyperplasia.

Hope this helps.

Even Doctors have been telling bodybuilders or people that like to try to be bodybuilders they don't need 1.5 - 2.0 gms of protein per lb of lean body weight or just bodyweight in general...I'll be honest my dumbass fell for it....I was just a kid trying to live the dream.

We've all been there at some point I think  :-\ At least most of us.

True.....I don't eat any more protein than the average person, it's all fucking bullshit.

It's always blew my mind how stupid people were that they couldn't connect the dots that the people telling you to eat a shitload of protein were the people SELLING the protein...LOLOL

You know I'm starting to believe that. I reduced my protein intake to less than 1 gr/lb and didn't notice any loss of muscle, but I did lean out a bit. I think maybe its all really bullshit too.

i actually agree with you on this one, lol!
totally true, most guys eat way , way to much.
you will just get fat, even if on steroids one should not overeat.
3 or 4 meals a day, little more protein than the average human being.



Be Happy,

 Because the bodyybuilding media has lied about protein needs. Even growing babies, which are building not merely new muscle tissue but also organ tissue and connective tissue, all of which require protein, do that on mother's milk which is about only 1% of protein per weight! Sure, very high quality protein, but it still composes only about 1% to 4% of their total caloric intake. Most of the scientific papers I've read suggest that Humans need only 0.25 to 0.3 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight for nitrogen retention. And these studies were done with severe burn victims who need more protein than average people. The argument that bodybuilders need more because they are building muscle is ridiculous because the amount of muscle build on a daily basis is very small. It's not like you're gaining several pounds of new tissue per week like a baby, and babies do that with a diet of only 1-4% protein! This website is right on the money....

FYI...
It is little thing called DNA and the genetic differences between a gorilla and a human. Hope that helps.

Same here. I pulled my tricep muscle two weeks ago and took a week off from all gym related activities and just ate normal. I leaned out, lost about 4 lbs and came back about 5-10% stronger on ALL my weights. But still, 15 years of training and being in this game, I had this eating/protein/eating/protein thing ingrained in me. Gonna take a while to adapt.

Best thing I ever did in training was to stop using any whey protein or mass gainers and use the same amount of cash on good food instead.

Making my best gains now and as strong as ever.

The supplement industry has made people think their supplements are essential for building muscle, it's ingrained in people's minds from all advertising and all the interviews with the Pro's who need to find some excuse for having so much muscle and not using any drugs, plus they're paid to say they use as much as possible.

If a lie is told often enough, it becomes the truth.

THIS IS PR00F Y0U'RE TR0LLING. HERE Y0U'RE C0MPARING A G0RILLAS NEEDS T0 A HUMAN. Y0U'RE IMPLYING THAT SINCE A G0RILLA BUILDS MUSCLE 0N VERY LITTLE PR0TEIN THEN IT MUST BE TRUE F0R HUMANS EVEN TH0UGH THEY ARE A C0MPLETLY DIFFERENT SPECIES. N0 0NE CAN BE THIS STUPID. A G0RILLA NEEDS LESS PR0TEIN BECAUSE THEY ARE A DIFFERENT SPECIES. JUST BECAUSE A G0RILLA BUILDS MUSCLE WITH N0 PR0TEIN D0SEN'T MEAN IT'S THE SAME F0R HUMANS.


  Lol idiot, gorillas being a different species is irrelevant. We are talking about the amount of protein needed to build muscles. Gorillas needing less protein for muscle building would only be relevant is gorillas's muscles were made of less protein than Human muscles. There is no evidence of that. In fact, gorillas's muscles probably have a greater amount of protein per volume of area given that their muscle fiber density is much greater than Humans.

  You = retarded  :P

THE NEEDS 0F A BABY AND AN ADULT ARE DIFFERENT. HUMAN ADULTS REQUIRE M0RE PR0TEIN THAN A BABY. THEY ALS0 REQUIRE LESS SLEEP THAN A BABY AND HUMAN ADULTS D0N'T REQUIRE M0THERE'S MILK F0R C0NSUMPTI0N. Y0U ARE JUST TALKING 0UT 0F Y0UR ASS WITH N0 EVIDENCE AT ALL. Y0U D0N'T EVEN EAT 4 PERCENT 0F PR0TEIN. Y0U ARE JUST A TR0LL. ALL STUDIES SH0W Y0U NEED 75 GRAMS 0F PR0TEIN T0 ST0P MUSCLE WASTING IN A MALE ADULT WH0 D0SEN'T EXERCISE.  ANY0NE ELSE AMAZED BY H0W STUPID THIS GUY IS? HIS EVIDENCE THAT HUMANS NEEDS LESS PR0TEIN IS HIM C0MPARING HUMANS T0 G0RILLAS. S0 IF A G0RILLA NEEDS N0 PR0TEIN THAN IT MUST BE TRUE F0R A HUMAN T00. 0H AND THE BABY C0MPARISI0N T00 FUNNY.

  Right, so a Human adult needs more protein than a growing baby who increases body mass by as much as 20% per week? For fuck sake, man, you are in the running with Johnny Falcon for the title of dumbest mofo on Getbig. Congrats! :D

  You = retarded  :P

  Human milk is fantastic. The problem is obtaining it, and also the "yuck" factor. It has the best amino acid profile for muscle building and general anabolic growth of all bodily tissue. It also contains tons of essential fatty acids which babies need for brain growth.
