Protein intake

[Allon]

Ok, I need some help here.

I have been reading threads here going back months and researching by searching on the net and have made lots of effort and have finally started eating more and more protein.
Problem is, the diet I am pasting below still does not have enough protein in it and most days I have trouble sticking to it completely due to either not having the food on me of not having the time, but I am trying. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestion please give em to me.
I am 26 years old - about 191 pounds and about 6foot (185 centimeters)
Body fat% was tested but I don't think it was too accurate 10%. I have no extra fat on my body apart from stomach so I look pretty ripped all over but have a bit of a stomach...
Anyway, below are 3 different versions of my daily diet. Off course not all days are the same and some days could be completely different than the foods mentioned below and some days I may mix up meals from one of the examples with another.

A granola with milk and shake + yoghurt = 45
B Shake = 30
C lunch - chicken/steak and rice/potatoes = 50 grams Or Large roll with meat = 40 grams
D sandwich = 15grams or cottage = 30grams
E milk and sandwich = 20grams
F cottage or shake or peanut butter on bread = 30grams

Total= Aprox 195 grams of protein

or

A eggs and bread and beans and cottage = 55grams
B turkey and bread = 40grams
C lunch - chicken/steak and rice/potatoes = 50 grams Or Large roll with meat (subway) = 40 grams
D shake = 30 grams
E milk and sandwich = 20 grams
F cottage or shake or peanut butter on bread = 30 grams

Total= Aprox 220 grams of protein

or

A granola with milk and shake + yoghurt = 45 grams
B turkey and bread = 40 grams
C lunch - chicken/steak and rice/potatoes = 50 grams Or Large roll with meat = 40 grams
Dmilk and sandwich = 20 grams or cottage = 30 grams
E shake = 30 grams
F cottage or shake = 30 grams or peanut butter on bread or sandwich = 15-20 grams

Total= Aprox 205 grams of protein

I also try to drink a few tall glasses of milk throughout the day, I take a multi vitamin and take 4.5 grams worth of amino tablets a day (sometimes 9 grams)

So in short, any ideas, suggestions, comments, critique to help me manage to slobber up more protein would be HIGHLY appreciated
THANKX!!!

What exactly are your goals? You seem to be getting around 1g per pound of body weight, which isn't bad at all. Are you looking to add size?

 

[Allon]

Yes, right now I am looking to bulk as much as possible, then once I have added about 20 pounds of muscle to cut. It should be easier for me to cut once I have that added muscle mass + I wouldn't mind looking bigger and better and being stronger

Bob is doing well... very well indeed.

Anything over 1g per body lb. is probably over-kill. I used to do this and the only thing that went up was my BF. Some experts say that at maximum, athletes may require 0.55 to 0.73 grams per pound. So a 200-pound athlete who works out strenuously would probably need about 146 grams at most.

I personally would say that the max would be closer to .9 per body pound if you're extremely lean.

COPY & PASTE:
Consuming more protein won't make your muscles grow faster. Exercising your muscles is the only way to make them grow. If you consume more protein than you need for tissue repair and other body functions, the excess will be burned as fuel, stored, or expelled. None of these is highly desirable. Unlike carbohydrates and fat, protein is not an efficient form of body fuel. Your body has to expend more energy to break down protein because its structure is more complex. Protein that's not burned as fuel may be converted to fat and stored in adipose tissue (where it will make you fatter, not more muscular). Protein that's not used as fuel or stored in the body is eliminated, and that causes its own problems. Excess amino acids are converted into urea, a nitrogen-containing waste product that puts a strain on your kidneys.

Thanks! It makes sense to me even though that completely goes against what everyone else here is saying, that you need at least a gram per pound...
