How much protein?

[biteme]

Do you increase your protein intake as you increase dosage of AAS?

So increased protein synthesis only works up to a certain point? How much more protein should eat on cycle as compared to off cycle? And how much should you eat on cycle? 1 gm per pound of bodyweight or lean bodyweight? Any science behind this?

I personally never adjust. If I am "bulking" or "cuting" the only thing that increases are the carbs and maybe the fat intake (but not to much). I get around 300-350 grams of protein a day. I think a good rule of thumb would be 1.5g's per pound of body weight.

I'm no where near that amount. I take in around 200 lately and I weigh about 210. Maybe I'll take in a little more and see what happens. Too many calories and I can get fat pretty quick.

As much and as often as you can stand.
When I'm on, I don't store fat like while off.

1 to 1.5 grams per lb of lean body mass is a good rule of thumb. But I have taken up to 2 grams per lb with great success. Just remember that your body is a machine and if you are training hard enough then the machine will use everthing that you put in.

IF IT DOES'T HURT IT ISN'T WORTH IT!!!!!!

I have the same prob bro...I "cut" with about 2400 cals a day but try to limit my carbs as I am very carb sensative. If you notice your starting to add to much body fat then drop the carbs a little and see how that works for you. Judging by your avatar though, looks like your doing something right as you have some good size!

Thanks, but I can never be too big and I know I have room to grow. Still growing at 40 after 26 years of lifting, and I'm gonna keep trying. Maybe tweaking the diet by adding more protein will help.
