For those of you who eat 400gs of protein and up, I thought you might appreciate this

[Lao Tzu]

bacon double cheeseburgers

2x the recommended amount of GNC protein powder, peanut butter & milk



i don't believe in healthy eating.

besides, where i live a lb. of hamburger meat, canned tuna or chicken (90-100g protein) is $1. GNC protein is 50g per $1. steak is $3 a lb. milk is $2.50 a gallon. condiments like peanut butter & mayonaisse are cheap.

either buy things in bulk, on sale or buy non name brands.
$20-40 a week for (the protein part of your) food bill is plausible if you need 300g a day.

Ash when i first started eating 420 grams of protein a day from my usual 220 grams, i started gaining 2lbs a week...naturally. Best of all it wasn't fat.... During the first 2 months it was mainly lean mass...

..BUT... once i started getting lazy, and eating junk instead of clean, i swear i could totally see tha fat just piling on...

Thats why i'm never going to jack in tha box anymore and getting 4 jumbo jacks twice a day. Once i started eating bullshit like fatty burgers and chinese food i started gaining fat.

But it waz all good at tha end, once i melted tha fat off.

Oh yeah , and my kidneys are fine. (Knock on wood)

Protein

Water Water Water Water. Did I say water? Keep those kidneys flushed out. It may not be healthy eating that much protein without drinking a few gallons of water.

In my best shape back in 98 I was 5'9" and 262 with noticeable abs and my food bill was easily over $300 a week. Clean food, no fast food restaurants. When I tore my quad and got out of the game for awhile my first trip to McD. I puked for hours. I don't know if it was the greasy foods or what. Of course I got over that and now I am a sweltering 245 of blubber.

DO NOT EAT 400g of protein a day -- unless you weight 350-400lbs. -- If you are less than 300lbs that much protein for a sustained period WILL cause kidney problems! That is just flat out unhealthy!!!!!!

Wrong answer bro. Although it can strain the kidneys slightly and somtimes inflame them, there is no permanent risk unless you stay at that amount of protein for several years at a time. That is why most athletes cycle their protein going from 1g of protein per lbs. of bodyweight up to 2g of protein per lbs of bodyweight. Most of the people on this board use around 1.5 to 2.0 grams per lbs. With amazing results and no side effects. I have done this for 2 years now. Every 10 weeks or when i start a cycle i go to see the doctor. Never anyproblems at all. My lifting partners, same thing, never any problems. You just have to take precautions like drinking 2 gallons of water a day. Simple as that. 400g or protein is safe.

I agree. The more protien I get in seems like the better off my body is. I used to get only 150g a day now its doubled and wow. Big Diff. Also I think fast food is all shit. You could prolly pick up some dog shit and eat it and get more nutrition out of it. Are you still out of the game due to your injury?

It is alot cheaper to buy in bulk.I get boneless chkn breasts for $1.79 lb if I buy 5 lbs or more.Ground trky for $1.89 lb if I buy 3 lbs or more.I havent really found any deals on steak.

East coast bodybuilder,

There is an increasing amount of evidence against eating too much protein. Much of it is circumstantial. For instance digesting animal protein involves a lot of calcium. This is often leached from bones if enough calcium is not ingested from the diet. This can lead to osteoporosis in old age.

Also digesting protein changes the body's equilibrium from alkaline (healthy) to acid (unhealthy). This (like most things in nutrition) is still controversial so many pro-protein people will challenge negative publicity about high protein consumption. The jury is still out on many of these issues.

You can get past many of these problems by eating vegetable sources of protein such as soy which is more gentle on the system and doesn't cause acidosis. Adding some soy protein to a body building diet while on steroids is also a good idea because the weak estrogens in soy act as anti-estrogens. Soy protein also absorbs excess cholesterol which is raised by the use of AS.

If you are interested do some research on protein as there are many differing opinions about what is and isn't healthy

 

[Tha One CrumCake]

I'd rather eat playtpus eggs as a source of protein than Soy.

I think there are a lot more things more dangerous then 400g of protein, aka 90% of the steroids we take.
