[jagerbombme]

i've heard rumors too much protein will add fat to you. any truth to this?

it all comes down to overall caloric intake.

Too much of anything will make you gain weight.

Calories In > Calories Out = Weight Gain

I usually weigh anywhere from 160-175, so usually i try to take in around 200-250 grams of protein a day. I have found that getting over 250 for me, makes me bloated looking..i gain just the same at 200 as i do at 300..go figure..

Very true

If you're trying to cut, its better to eat more protein than carbs.
You'll be able to see in the mirror if your not eating enough carbs/protein and you'll know in the gym.

Try to keep things the same like a protein intake of 300grams ed, and carbs 200-300ed...see how it works....try 400/200

too much protein can poison your body with ammonia.

i AM damnit. that's what it looks like sometimes, if i have too many shakes, i actually get bloated and think im gaining fat, then i cut the shakes out for a day and just eat protien and poof it's gone. wtf is THAT? lol, im gonna take a combination of advice here, im gonna cut calories down to approx 2000. i don't think my body wants more than that but keep the protein at around 200-250. i try to actually keep carbs less than 100, but i think i always end up around 150. i need to get my mind set and try to stay less than 100 ed for extended periods and see what happens.

A Calorie is a Calorie is a Calorie

the only issue with Increased Protein intake is its Potential Mal effects on the Gi Tract and Colon ( esp red meat)

FIBER, FIBER, FIBER is needed to be CO-INJESTED with Protien

simples solution? always have a bed of Fiberous Greens with your Meat Dishes

somtimes I just get handfulls of raw greens at eat them with my Steak or Chickesn if I dont have time to prepare a nice meal.
