How much protein in a day???

[HenryBlake]

How much protein should I be taking a day?
My stats
6.2
214 pounds
43 years young
workout every other day at the gym.
100 ounces or more each day of the good ole H20.
strict diet of fruits, veggies, chicken, egg whites (about 2 p/d) and a little red meat. Lots of protein power each day before and after workout.
Right now I'm consuming about 100g of protein a day. Ive read on a couple of other sites that I should be consuming 1.5- 2X my body weight in protein which if my adding is correct, that is a WHOPPING 428 grams of p/pd. (that's a lot of fuckin protein)

Let the party begin...

BTW... I LOVE this place. When Im feeling down, I come to Elite Fitness, & within 2 minutes, I feel BETTER!!!!!

How can you only be consuming 100g ED if your saying you drink a shake before and after the gym. 2 scoops of most whey is 50grams?? 100 is not enough you need a min of 214grams...Are you on cycle? Post up your diet

I'd say atleast 1-1.5g per lb.

On cycle I was taking in between 390-440g per day.

The adverage is 1& 1/2 Gram for every pound of body weight, Your Training intensity has a lot to do with it also as well as your BMR.
Too much protein will stress the kidneys so drink lots of water thruout the day, Most of your protein should come from food, Dairy,Meats,Fish..etc.I also get an extra 100G with protein shakes.


Glad you feel better!

Yeah baby,
I love it when someone questions me-fuck YEAH.
1 protein shake before & after w/o w/ musclemilk that im drinking is 32g of p. x2 =64 grams + eggs that I consume, plus all my other food intake=100 grams p/day +/- 10 grams.

Thats why I'm here guys, to get the info.

Tell me what protein shake has 50g p/ps and I'm on my way to the store..

300mg test cyp, 300mg deca per week.
200mg B6 ed
500mg B12 ed
10mg nolv ed
3 tabs t-bomb each am before w/o
piece of ass each night after supper
sounds like a healthy cycle

This is very true sometimes you cant stress it enough to people. Alot of guys have too many shakes and complain of gas and what not. The quality of the protein is important too I mix 1 scoop ISOpure with 1 scoop ON ProComplex.

I forgot to mention, I found a nice receipe on another forum for this:

4 cups of oatmeal
1 cup of peanut butter
4 scoops of your favorite power
a cup or 2 of water depending on how thick you want it.
mix together, microwave on high for 3-5 minutes
Enjoy BEFORE your w/o
haven't tried it yet, but tommorrow I will.
Sounds like the ultimate liquified oatmeal cookie

My brother, what were you eating each day to consume 390-440g per day?

Care to share?

I have been fooling myself in thinking I was downing enough protein each day.
