also time lifting, someone that lifted for a week can consume as much or as little protein as possible and have much less then someone that consumes as much or as little protein as they want that's been lifting for 10 years... or wait, what if the person that has been lifting for 10 years has many other factors in their lifestyle that are catabolic... hmm is this a good method... naaa... needs to be a controlled study.

"I have always eaten about 1g/pound but I recently changed my source of protein from mostly red meat and poultry to a combination of plant protein/fish/poultry (without only minimal red meat)."

Interesting so you got big on mostly red and poultry but don`t advocate it ..............................

I will be writing an article on this matter but here are a few quick points:

-The maximum amount of protein any human being should use is 1 gram per pound. Countless scientific studies have proven that anything above that will not yield any benefit (and in fact will harm your kidneys).

-Plant protein is superior to animal protein. In specific, red meat should be your last choice for protein. AT least half of your protein should come from plants. The rest should come mainly from poultry and fish. A little red meat should make up the rest.

-No more than 25% of protein should come from protein shakes. Although the your body absorbs it at a relatively similar rate to food protein, the nutritional density of food will be far more beneficial in gaining quality lean body mass.

-Take care of your liver. It is the workhorse of your body and is responsible for leading healthy growth.

This reminds me of a psychological term called "projection."

This is where a person projects their feelings/situation (and insecurities) on to someone else in order to alleviate the negative stigma attached to said feelings (or situation).

I had some old dude for psych, but my MILF professors were in anthropology. Damn, I loved anthropology!
