protein arguement

[DanielPaul]

At 6' even and 225lbs and about 15% bf how much protein should i consume to maintain muscle while still losing fat, some say .07 per lb all the way up to 2gs per lb.  which way gives best results

[haider]

1.325g per lb for maximum muscle gayning

[Shockwave]

The basic rule of thumb is 1 gram per pound of body weight, adjust as needed. I just posted a thread with some tips from an old-school Weider tape that about 20 years old. But, I found the information to be quite good. Check it out.

That video recommends 1 gram per pound of body weight when you're training and half a gram per pound of bodyweight when you're not.

[DroppingPlates]

6 x 225 x 15%, so that will be 202.5 grams per day

I'm glad I stop worrying about dumb stuff like this.

Proper nutrient timing is key. If you want to increase your muscle size, you should be taken in 34.56 grams of protein 33 minutes and 45 seconds after a workout. If you consume 34.57 grams of protein, instead of 34.56, your body will go into a catabolic state and you will not grow. If you consume exactly 34.56 grams of protein (which is the exact number you need), BUT this consumption is at 33 minutes and 46 seconds or 33 minutes and 44 seconds, you will not grow. All growth will be stopped and your body will go into serious defense mode and you will lose all muscle within 24 hours.

This may also be avoided by supplementing with muscletech products as well.

Let me know how things go.

Tell me about it. The only thing I care about now is training hard 3-4 days a week. Eating as healthy as I can in THREE meals a day with snacking on fruit in between. Every bit of bro-science now belongs in the 90's.

OMG, you need at least 7 meals, with protein shakes and meal replacements in between. 

[The Grim Lifter]

You should listen to Jade the Gladiator, 1 gram per pound = losing muscle, 1.5 for maintenance and 2 for growth!

Since when did this become "bro-science", especially since the guys in the 90s learned from their predecessors, who basically did the same thing (though their diets weren't quite as refined)?

Im assuming because he's not trying to diet for a show. I wouldnt do a 7 meal a day program ever again unless I was going to do a show. No need when a 3 meal a day diet will get you into low doubles/high singles.

Just fucking eat !!

Who said you had to eat/drink 7 meals a day? For the most part, I eat 5-6 meals per day. I may add an extra one, if I'm trying to put on more size.

[gracie bjj]

get 4 or 5 cans of tuna in a day with some good carbs and alittle fat and your good to go

[gracie bjj]

that looks good right about now

Too bad my local MD serves them lukewarm, but other than that, my palates are happy

That's 150 grams of protein tops, not to mention you're going to be miserable eating that much tuna in one way.

You might want to throw in some beef and whole eggs.

As far as a guy with DanielPaul's dimensions go, he'll probably need more than that.

Again, I'd start with 1 gram per pound of bodyweight and see how that works for a month or two.

4-5 cans of tuna isn't good for your relationship

Not unless you have a gallon of Listerine handy.

That helps, but imagine the odors in your home, esp in the summer
