[Royalty]

.....but it did not effect my workout negatively today. I had an epic workout.

For him that has ears; let him hear.

[Waller]

Competed at 193 at 5'8'. Stay around 198-200 now. You really don't need it. I remember the first two years i trained i gained the most muscle and never counted protein. Once i tried to start eating a lot i got fat.

If you overload your system with food you will be sluggish.

There is no way the body can digest so much protein. It's all a lie to sell supplements.

Isnt whey (the fastest) absorbed at roughly 8grams of protein an hour? Pretty sure dave palumbo said that on one of his shows .

That's great. Eating 400 grams a day isn't. If you don't feel sluggish eating powders it would probably be they arn't good food and not really being used much.

Eating more protein doesn't work. A lot of people say on here you can eat a lot to get to a level and then eat less to maintain. I don't agree but you don't see it happening. Everyone thinks you need more than you do.

Props for competing, but I wouldn't class that as massive. Aren't those stats the same as Sev's?

[thegamechanger]

so instead of protein you eat carbs and or fats.
enjoy your meal.

I'm a lot bigger than Sev but he gets very lean good on him.

It's no pro level really but it's a lot bigger than most and i hated being even 215+ i didn't feel as good.

Do you believe you could hit 250 without being fat on low protein?

Then by bodybuilding logic, i.e., brofessional scientificationalization izing, you must weigh in the neighborhood of 37.5 pounds.

I think that I generally am in the 200-250g/day range for protein. A lot of this has to do with the fact that I basically eat low-carb most of the time. A "high-carb" day for me is about 200g. A normal day around 100g and a low-carb day around 25g. So, the calories have to come from somewhere and a lot of that is protein.

[PJim]

I tend to eat between 80-120 grams a day and sit quite comfortably at 220lbs year round.

Sorry, I meant 250lbs whilst on a low protein intake.

I don't buy into the 2g per lbs of bodyweight protein rule. That does seem rather high. But on the flip side I know that I wouldn't be able maintain my size if I dropped to 75g of protein a day.

The difference between me being 200 now and 220 with a similar bodyfat would only be drugs. If i ate more because i was hungrier during those times of gaining weight then so be it. I just don't think you need to force feed.

In the first two years i trained i went from 154 to 231 and got fat but dieted down to 185 and was lean. I didn't count protein those two years.

Another great and accurate thread on nutrition I see going on today....

[Dr Dutch]

Protein grams per day are WAY overrated......we owe that to the big money maker, mr Joe Weider.

How much do you weigh?
How much protein do you usually consume?

Haha yes 2 g/lb lol  

Yes a 150-lb squirt definitely needs 300 g of protein (~ 3 pounds of chicken breast) per day to "grow"

[Thong Maniac]

I average like 90-130 grams a day and look exacy the same as when i did 200g.
