Protein...How Much Do You Need?

[Trendsetter21]

If your trying to gain weight eat as much as you can....crap out the unused grams but at least you know your maxing out!

I think the 1g per lb of bodyweight is for normal humans....most of us aren't normal!

I am currently consuming 2 - 2.25 grams per pound of bodyweight (not lbm, but bodyweight). This is working well for me. I'd say it depends on your goals and level you're at. Some people respond well from 1gram/lb., some don't.

Short and sweet.

I would say it all depends on the person. Thier intensity, how freq they train , if they are trying to build or just shape themselves.

As for your 3 hour workouts? You are in the gym for 3 hours but let's be honest how long are you actually training for ? Are all 3-4 days a week in a row or spaced out every other day ? All this makes a big dif on how to space your meals and carb intakes through out your work out days and non work out days
