how much protein

[Anthrax Invasion]

I remember sampling the diet for a week or two awhile back. I caved in when my friends ordered pizzas. I wasn't even planning to stick to it, but I figured I'd go for a bit longer. I didn't need to cut at the time, but I was playing with the idea. The whole idea of cutting isn't really for me, although if I ever decide to get around to it, it'll be with the ANPB diet, just to see how it goes. I like simple things. That diet is as simple as it gets.

I have to say, though, that having the ANPB and protein shakes filled me up just fine, since I was eating every three hours. I don't like eating that often, though. I eat every 5 hours and 20 minutes now, and I feel much better.

That's odd, 'cause I get full from carbs and proteins. Fats don't tend to fill me up.

Carbs also bloat me. Protein doesn't.

I know where you are comping from but like for like interms of grams of, the 25g of carbs you get from a banana can't be anywhere near as tough to digest as the 25g you get from a tin of tuna. Sure I get bloated from a big plate of pasta or a massive bowl of rice whereas I could eat a couple of chicken breasts feeling less filled, but the big carb dish holds 100g or more of carbs whereas the protein food carries around 50 g of protien.

Drinking 100g of carbs from say a container of fruit juice is certainly easier than downing a 100g protein shake!

you should get 1 to 2 grams of protein per weight. that is excludeing your bf.

I wouldent be cutting its just that in some places fat hangs off of me literally it just kinda hangs there off the muscle like on my pecs and the bottom of the stomach and my legs kinda and then in other places im fine. It looks like i have a small tire at the end of my stomach covered with skin, im kinda worried it wont go away. Can anyone suggest doing something besides a diet to loose this fat. If they could i would just bulk or keep my cals at maintanence level.

Thermorexin and 30 mins cardio every morning.

ill look into thermorexin, but i cant do cardio during the morning because i have school from 7 tell 10:30. I would do it after school however i have to eat in the morning so it wont really matter when i do it.

Ive heard all sorts of things on how much protein u can get. Some people say .8 grams for every lb. of weight and some say 2 grams ive even heard 2.5 grams. So i was wondering how much everyone on here takes and if it is pointless to go beyond a certain point? Ive always heard the more the better so i was thinking about bulking in 10 weeks and taking 4000 calories a day and going 20%f/40%c/40%p my body weight at that time should be 135 at 4% bf and my maintenance level would be lower than 1800 so thats a good amount of calories and alot of protein. Almost 3 grams of protein for every lb. of weight. Is that to much protein?

IMO, 1g per lb of lbm is sufficient when bulking but when dieting I go for 1.5g lb of lbm.

The sooner in the day you workout the better in my opinon. It gets your metabolism going and allows you plenty of time to relax before bed.

You could do:

Mon/Wed/Fri:
11:00am - 20mins cardio
16:30pm - 60mins weights (like the 5x5)

Tue/Thu/Sat
11:00am - 30mins cardio

It's a total of 150 mins or 2.5 hours of cardio and 3 hours of weights a week which should be very conducive to staying lean and gaining muscle. I'd swim 3x a week (30mins) and run 3 x a week (20mins) and hit the weights 3x in an ideal world!

Id take the thermorexin (just 1 tab at a time, 2x a day): first thing in the morning on all days, and then 30mins before the cardio workouts on the cardio only days, and then before the weights workouts on the cardio&weights days. (hope that's clear!)

yeah sounds like a good idea maybe i will do it since i wont have to really change my routine at all. Right now im doing the 5x5 (restarted it last week) and on tue., Thu., and Fri, i do cardio for 45 min and swimming is out of the question unlease i want to freeze to death. How many calories would u suggest doing and what intake on carbs/protein/fat?
