How much protein do you take in daily?

I'm doing about 250g per day. Trying to get it up to about 350-400.

So what does everyone else take in on a daily basis?


Also, is there a limit to what you should take in per meal? I mean...If you take in 100g in one meal is that too much for one meal? or get all that you can into every meal?
 
i weigh 205 so i hover around 380-400 some times a lil higher some a lil lower
 
what are you guys eating to consume that many grams of protein?

I've been trying to eat "clean" foods, and am struggling to get over 250g eating 5-6x a day
 
I am eating at least 500 grams a day. On non training days I have 6 whole food meals and two shake based meals.
 
chicken, steak, tuna is a huge source then i have 2 protien shakes a day with a protein bar, just look at the package you'll be surprised how fast protien adds up .. its in almost everything you will be eating if your diet is on point
 
I've been eating all that...(not as much steak though)

But alot of tuna, cottage cheese, eggs, yogurt, turkey, etc etc...

I am 5'10" and around 225. I am not a beast like most of the guys on here, but I am trying to get there. I can't give you honest numbers for my 1RMs, because I haven't maxed in a long time. I can tell you last week I pulled 440 from the floor for a set of four. I would have got five reps, but the buckle on my belt broke off on the third rep. Last Squat workout I did 360 for 6 and 275 for 20. The 275 for 20 got a little high after about 10 reps, but still deeper than most of the squats I see in my gym. I don't do too much flat BB pressing anymore, but I would guess it to be around 300-315.
 
I think once you're passed 1.5g of protein per lb of mass you should be more focused on a balanced diet.. if your routine is on point you shouldn't need any extreme.. avoid slowing the insulin spike down by not combining fat+carbs, carbs+protein is fine, protein+fat is good too. Eat and eat some more.. I eat 5 balanced meals, 1 big shake, 1 post work out shake, and a few random meals daily.. I love to eat a full meal before bed.. Buahahaha... I'm on drugs, lots of em. :\

Nice! Has that amount of protein noticeably sped up your progress in the gym?
 
440-450 daily, training or not.

Yes for sure. I stay hungry and I sweat all day. My metabolism is super jacked and I am growing like crazy. I have put on close to 30 pounds in the last year. I do not cycle AAS, but I have ran two PH cycles. I train a little differently than most (DC training) and I either add weight to the bar or add reps reps to the previous weight for every exercise. Everything is going up. I am not real lean though. That is the only draw back to consuming mass quantities. The idea is to keep your Metabolism super jacked though high protein and cardio, and turn your body into a Muscle building, fat burning blast furnace. When it is time to "cut" I will more than likely get diced up with just minor changes to my diet.
 
no shit, the past 4 weeks i've upped my protein from 360 to 440-450 and have gained almost 7 clean lbs.
 
a lil off topic...but do you guys find as you up your protein the trips to the shitter increase as well?


mine have...LOL

I thought I read in another post u weren't juicing it.

Is that correct? I thought such high protein intakes were really only beneficial for juicers
Click to expand...

no juice, but there is really NO hardcore/solid scientific evidence showing what is/isn't too much protein. i've changed my diet around from a very clean lean mass diet to a clean heavy bulking diet. w/e protein i don't use, fuck it.....at least it will be there if my body will. since i've upped my protein intake i have noticed vass differences in my body, even after only 4 weeks! my muslces are much fuller, hard as hell, and my vascularity is gone from crzy to, rediculous!!!!:rainbow:
 
OK, so, can I skip meals and have a shake(protein)? How much protein per pound on my body, and last but not least..... if I shorten my healthy meals and eat more times and with cardi and zip, I will lose weight? Is that correct?

I'm curious.

What % of your cals does this equate too and what is your bodyweight? I've analyzed what I'm doing, and I'm at 3500 cals, 35% P, so that's like 300P normally.

Are u still on the omega programme?
 
did a search and found a few vids of a guy teaching this exact subject..... man I have asked people all day long through pm's and postings on stuff, but to no avail....... its bummin me........ I was plat but can't afford now, but dag i didn't know peeps would ignore..... I'll just read.

Yes you can replace a meal with a protein shake. I don't, but many do.
Basic rules are 1 gram complete (animal source) protein per pound of bodyweight.
If you eat several small meals (say 6 ED) you will stimulate your metabolism more than if you ate just 3 meals ED. Cardio, and weight training will also help increase your metabolism. This means (assuming your NOT over training) you'll most likely store more calories as muscle (tissue and glycogen), and less as fat. Bodyweight should be less of a concern than body composition.
Don't know what zip is? If it's a stimulant, then that would help burn calories. Personally I only use stimulants pre-workout, and then I use caution. People think if it's OTC it can't hurt them - those people are wrong.
Amends? :)
 
I agree, and that just doesn't go for the fat burners/stimulants, but anything the liver has to endure. I am going to do this small stack I put together, but wondered about my protein uptake. Thanks bro.... You Good peep.....

Do you find it hard on some days to keep that going? I guess I should said counting instead, do you find it hard on some days to count, or do you plan ahead?

i put about 3lbs of chicken in the crockpot before i go to bed and when i get up i have my protein for almost the entire day. sometimes i put the 3lbs in a large glass cassarole (sp?) dish and put it in the over for an hour with w/e seasoning/sauce i want. i have a spreadsheet i print out everyday to follow my meals. i package up each meal i'm going to eat at work before i leave and then it's all ready to go when i need to eat.

it took a few days to get it down, but now it is pretty much second nature. the hardest time for me to keep my eating schedule is the weekends. i'm so busy it seems like i always miss a meal or two then have to make it up later in the day.
 
I pretty much count as I go...I eat the same shit pretty much all the time, so its fairly easy for me to know what I have to take in to make it.

If I think i'm running short for the day, I'll just sit down and eat a few cups of cottage cheese.


The key for me is finding stuff that is high in protein for the amount you have to take in. That way you can eat every couple hours and not feel like your going to explode.
 
240 as of last week. I don't do a lot of protein. There are many different views on this but this is what works for me. If i go over 300 or so i start to feel it on my waistline. I think my body converts anything over a certain amount to glucose. For me it seems its lower than some others.

i put half a coffee cup of lemon juice, on glass of water, then i season it with a few different seasonings. the lemon juice makes it tendor and adds a little taste. seriously best thing i ever started doing for my diet.....was using the crockpot.

Well regarding to this question it is a bad idea to try to cram 100g of protien in one sitting. It impossible for your body to digest that many protien and absorb it, so you're pretty much wasting protien. The weight you're right now you can only digest 40-50g of protien give or take per sitting. If you want to take another supplement that will help your body absorb more protein take papaya enzyme the chewable ones
