Protein Requirements
« on: September 05, 2011, 05:27:53 AM »
I only consume about 100g protein per day (food sources, eggs etc, no shakes).  I'm just passed being a tiny tit/twink, but I can't move on.

Will upping my protein intake change anything?

It will change the amount of protein you eat.

it won't do shit.  bbing is BS!  i'm 5'10", carrying about 215 now due to relocation, but i'm usually 200-203 when dieting with good size.  here is the deal: some days i only eat one piece of fish or a chicken breast with a 12" subway, lose fat but keep pretty much all my muscle.  bbing is ALL DRUGS.  i have no clue why the fuck they eat 6-8 meals daily.  and keep in mine i ate like this when i played football.

Depends on alot of factors.

how much you weigh?

train alot?

age?

juiced/natrual?


all these factors change how fast your metabolism and protein synthesis is and how high your protein requirement is.

Thanks for the info, I'm up to 200 from 190 a few weeks ago (all fat), 21, natural.  Probably around 18 percent bodyfat? I'm training a three day split twice a week.

at that age and training that much your metabolism should be pretty high. you're pretty light though.

I'd say around 200-250 grams.

thats 4-5 meals with 50 grams in each meal. not too hard to get in. or 3 big meals with ~70 grams in each meal. what ever works..

If you're natural that's more than enough protein you need. If you're stuck, you probably need more calories though. Then again, being natural, you won't gain that much more muscle anyway, you're probably close to your limit. But if you want to get even fatter, up your protein.....just look at bigach.

He eats way more than 100 gr a day, that's why he is so fat. Remember when he posted his daily diet recently? Which is why I believe he is natural...he is just getting fat with that intake, if he were on something, he'd still keep gaining.

If you don't take any drugs, then increasing it to 200 or 250 g will definitely boost your size and strength. This is assuming you are lifting hard and recovering OK. You'll still build muscle and get stronger on lower doses, but not as much as on the increased dose, esp. if part of that protein comes from red meat.

Yes yes, the "muscle confusion" principle... to keep your muscle "guessing" and keep gaining.  :-X
