protein thread

 

[ZGzaZ]

it may be true for some people, but personally I need a lot of protein to make gains....

 

[PolishHammer1977]

Eat as much food as possible than go to the shakes. I agree with that.

but what do you think about the whole total intake?

 

[rjl296]

I agree with it

Protein is over-rated!!! Your body can only digest so much!! Personally, I think carbohydrates are the most important.

People have severe imbalances in their diets.

Protein 50 percent
Carbs 25 percent
Fats 25 percent

This stuff is no good!

swain - what isn't good? the 50/25/25 or that people take large amounts of protein in general?

 

[WarriorPL]

I consume about 200-250 and that's ideal for me... roughly 1.2 - 1.4 grams per pound.

i agree with that, your body can only digest about 20-30g of protein.

carbs are the best, they give ur muscles glycogen for fuel..

i remember one time i didnt eat enough carbs before my chest day, and 225 felt like 500. i barely got 315..

so now i eat 60g of carbs one hr before i work out along with 25g of protien.

and a little more of each for my post workout meal.

i dont count fats. cuz the only fat i get is form yolks oils and beef.
and the good fats ur body needs...

you need lots of carbs to grow, because if you use protein for energy then you cant use it to grow
