i eat 8oz chicken breast 4x/day so thats 200grams there. Plus 1 scoop whey protein in my oatmeal in the morning and 2 scoops post workout for a total of 275 grams, 200g whole food, 75g whey protein.

400/day, 140 from shakes usually

My goal is 400mg per day with approximately half from powder. Can't eat those nasty bars!

330g total
180g from powders

what kinda protein are you guys using who said 180grams, 200grams from powders??..i hope not just whey?..you wannna have slow digesting proteins throughout the day and night , whey is most useful only post workout.

No, if i'm trying to cram in protein 2-3 hrs apart I don't want slow digesting stuff.

I take in about 450grams of protein per day. About 150 grams come from protein.

Edit: 150g of that comes from protein. Whey Isolate.

Strickly ISOPURE...only because of taste (whey). This is about 75% of powder...the remaining 25% is any name brand horrible tasting soy.

I think whey by itself digests in about 20 minutes unless you add fat like from flax oil or ANPB etc. then it digests more similarly to casein
