Guys over 200 lbs: how do you get all of your protein?

[future]

I get a fair amount from food and whey sources. I do less protein now and also add in bcaas. I get around 300-350 grams on off days. I get closer to 420-450 on training days. I also weight 270 currently.

Getting that much protein is WAYYY OVERRATED especially considering you are taking in 70-80g all in one sitting that IMO does no good as long as protein is consumed 6-8 times gradually throughout the day id say 30-40g per meal is enough for anyone regardless of weight.

i agree with this if your all natty and have an average metabilism or if your not looking for a lot of size. other than that i dont see how its possible

I thought your body will only use about 30g of protein in one meal,so wouldnt it be best to try and spread more protein over as many meals as you can.

your 6oz servings need to be 8 or 10oz. The single meal of cottage cheese should have something else with it.

If your natural then your diet is not bad. If your not natural then up the amounts.

the 30g part is bs. you can train your body to use more by eqating more. you can also manipulate that with enzymes and drugs. you are correct on the spreading it out part. i eat 10-11 times per day.

Yeah there really have been no definitive studies to support the 30 gram rule.

Basically, if your body can metabolize it, help you recover and not get fat YOU ARE GETTING IN ENOUGH.

Guys wonder how I can be clean and still my size and conditioning: diet. Its that simple.

Prove it.

Even in the concept of pwo nutrition natural guys are adding in 60-80 grams of protein. So as much as we want to put a number and act like a protein diatribe, the proof is in the results. And for many higher protein intake IS where its at whether natural or not.

I have a question in regards to the milk. If I'm lactose intolerant am I basically screwed?

^ I think it depends on how sensitive your body is to lactose. Some guys I know who are mildly lactose intolerant can drink milk if they take a non-Rx pill that breaks down the lactose. I think its called lactaid, but not sure. You should be able to get it at any drugstore. Also, I think there is a brand of milk by the same name that already has the lactose removed.
