500 grams of protein per day??!!

500 seems way high, I usually get 200 to 250 grams of protein per day.

Maybe try 300 grams of protein and up your carbs, eat brown rice and oatmeal until you want to puke.

I don't have a study to proof it, but I don't think you can absorb more than 50 grams of protein at one time. I try to get 40 to 50 grams of protein per meal, and I have 5 to 6 meals a day.

Yeah, I doubt highly you need or can use anywhere near all 500g of prot in a day.

on top of all that Protein is more easily converted into fat than carbs, so if you can't metabolize 4500 cals a day and 500gm's of that is protein(2,000 cals) i think the end result will be a lot fat gain unless you are an extreme ectomorph.

Guys, I was on the Max-OT website looking around and to hit a 4500 calorie per day diet while on a bulking cycle (currently testosterone enanthate and Equipoise - boldenone undecylenate - ) they recommend 495g of protein, 416g of carbs, and 95g of fat. Does anyone think that is way too much p + c and not enough fat? Can my body even come close to using 495g of protein. I mean to get 4500 cals is hard enough, but it seems easier with a decent amount of fat. Thoughts?

shit ive gotten to around 450gm protein per day on cycle and i looked great and barely weighed 200.

You'll excrete an excess of urea. Save the stress on your kidneys and your wallet. I've had great gains in the past with less protein. I usually try to keep it a little over a gram per lb of body weight.
