1.5-2g per lb of body weight, all gear increase protein synthesis

so 440 grams (2g./lb) is not too much protein? that seems like an awful lot but hell i can do it.. should i chug water like the ocean is gonna dry up or what.? thats gotta be hard on the kidneys

Some people are more efficient at metabolising proteins, some better at carbs. So your body type might require more protein to increase mass or more carb. Its not so much as what grams per lb of body weight but more the % of protein/ carbs/fats that form part of your overall calorie intake. Somewhere to start is around 40% protein, 45% carbs, 15% good fats. Then if you are not responding in mass you can move up the proteins & reduce the carbs. Dont forget that carbs are still the BBers main source of energy. Sure you need a lot of protein for repair work esp on cycle, but carbs are the bodies first source of energy & there should be enough of them in the daily diet to cater for heavy training sessions. Its all about finding what works for you.

i know for me i've always stuck with 2.5g of protein per pound and i weigh 235lbs...needless to say, besides all the chicken and steak i eat, i get to drink 3 protein shakes per day with 72g protein in each one lol...not the tastiest but i'll live...

I always take in 1.5 grams of protein per lb, and drink a minimum of 1.5 gallons of water per day...Remember muscle is mainly Nitrogen{Protien} and Water retention...Muscles are 70% water.

Also make sure you are getting good low GI carbs as well as some healthy EFA's in there as well.
