How much protein powder do you guys take?

[DaCypher]

How much protein powder do you guys take each day? I'm just referring to supplement protein not what you eat in from your food (although I guess the amount you supplement would depend on how much protein you got from food).

 

[gymtime]

About a third of my protein intake comes from the shakes. Roughly 90-120gr.

 

[enrage]

130-167 grms

 

[diamonddiceclay]

all of my protein comes from food-it's the best way to get it

 

[The Almighty]

Only about 100 grams. I agree that food is the best source of protein.

 

[BigWill]

200-300 gms ed

 

[The mann]

depends on how the day went,some days is all food and some i may throw 2-3 shakes in.......

 

[musclefattie]

wow how do you get all your protien from food? hard to digest long time to eat no? mostly steaks and chicken breasts i'm assumming?

 

[maxellyz]

i almost get all my protein from my diet but i like to take a shake directly after training, and also when im not cutting i like to take a carbo drink after my protein shake......

protein powder

I shoot for 140 g in 3 shakes...40 g whey isolate early in day, 60 g whey isolate/concentrate mix w/ maltodextrin post workout, 40 g whey or whey/casein/egg mix before bed.

 

[CerealKiller]

40 grams whey after training and 40 grams egg+milk+whey before sleep

 

[javaguru]

About 250 grams per day, my protein powder is cheaper than real food at $5.99/lb.

 

[DaCypher]

Its seems like protein powder is cheaper than food sources of protein because its more concentrated. Also, I heard that your body absorbs different types of protein better than others and supposedly most whey protein powders have the best protein absorption rate.

i think a good rule of thumb is to take at least 1/2- 100% of your body weight in protein, when body building...

 

[Lord_Suston]

I get about 40g a day by shakes, I get a lot from my diet, but if i need I would drink more protein in a heart beat.

 

[riskybizz007]

Maximum I take is about 75, i agree w/ the guys talking about eating real food. Nothing compares to it. Whey i'd use postworkout or if i'm lagging in protein intake then i'd supplement if not i try not to use it.

About 150 grams per day from powder!
