I ate only 75 grams of protein yesterday

You`d be amazed how little food you need to grow/maintain size.

Eat big to be big only applies to the genetically elite.


For the rest of us it`s Eat big to get fat.

No you just don't need excess food.

Supplements are garbage. Keep believing though.

[jude2]

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

Yeah but you are 6'8.

If I had all my coin back wasted on the snakoil I bought,I`d be rich.

Would you guys then say even the RDA of 0.36g/lb is set too high?
Why would the "nutrition authorities" set it so high for the general populace (just for health maintenance)?
And does not a very hard training athlete need at least a little extra to build muscle?

Now as for myself, 75 grams would be a good day for me, eat less many times.
I don't think it's optimal though - and I'm on steroids which allow you to make mistakes.

But if your body wants to grow (not at genetic limit yet) you will do best on a highish protein (and energy) diet.
All the real big dudes I know eat pretty big and have good appetites. If you don't have it in you to grow big then it's different.
You don't need 400 grams but let's not get carried away and say even less than the RDA is optimal.

How many grams did you eat during your last contest diet?

[thegamechanger]

for somebody who doesnt train (most getbiggers) and who is a midget (again most getbiggers) and eats like a girl (most...) and doesnt enjoy food (...) 75 grams just might be enough.

It was just one day (I usually eat around 200 grams of protein a day)

But I was expecting to feel weak in the gym after eating only 75 grams of protein the day prior. But I actually felt very good.

You thought you would shrivel up from low protein for just one day?
LOL!!!

[Dr Dutch]

1 gram per kilo of lean body weight.......waaaaaaaaaa y enough, less could be enough as well.

[PJim]

Yeah but you are 6'8.

5'11"

I don't get how people can come to the conclusion you need a specific amount of protein per day.  Like, how can anyone say '.6 grams/lb is not enough, you need at least 1.25!'

Like, did you run some long term experiment on yourself and diligently record the results?

I think like 99% of the time the answer is 'no', and the assertion is untested.  This applies to pretty much anything in bbing... Amazing amount of 'certainty' in this 'sport'.

The body does not appreciate excessive amounts of protein and is very efficient at making the most of what you supply it with.

The protein/supplement industry are just doing similar to what you'll find on the back of a bottle of shampoo regarding rinsing and repeating, they're ensuring you'll use as much of it as possible, even if it's pointless past a certain point.

I did not think that I was going to shrink after one day. But I did expect to feel weaker than normal.

[Ropo]

I eat 75-100 a day and its plenty.people need to stop listening to the people who say 2 g per lb cause its completely unneccesaary.

You seem to have great hurry to reveal your ignorance, because only the most stupid ones mix grams and pounds. In the real life it is 2g per 1 kilo of lean bodyweight. I know this is hard to you to understand, but maybe you have someone who can explain to you what is the difference between kilo and pound. Secondly, you confirm your retardness when you claim that training human doesn't need protein. Protein is what your body uses to make your muscles, so without it you are just a sack of lard and crap, which you probably are anyway. Believe or not, I know what your problem is: You have been training and eating a lot of protein, but you still look like a pile of shit. Don't blame the protein, because if exercise and protein doesn't make you grow, you are training like an asshole.

About 80% of gym rats share your problem, because they are too fucking dumb to learn how to do it right. Most of the people are training too much, meaning too many training sessions per week, too many sets per session, and too many reps per set. It is ridiculously little what you really need to do to gain muscle mass, IF YOU DO IT RIGHT

Are you for real?  Are your workouts so consistent that you would confidently attribute a single weak session to your low protein intake?
