Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I read this article written by a certified personal trainer that 1g of protein per pound of lean mass is too much and his proof was that the time a human grows at the greatest rate is when it's a couple months old or something like that. Brest milk makes up its entire diet and consists of 10% protein.
too much protein ??

A lot of "certified personal trainers" (not all) are nothing but out of shape swindlers that took a course so they could take people's money. Most of the trainers that I know (I worked in the fitness industry for 5 yrs.) are out of shape themselves and their clients make little or no progress.
1.5-2 g protein per lb. of bodyweight... unless you don't want to gain muscle!

Personal experiance I find recovery times are better when I eat mass quantities of protien. And I take the advice from people that say a minimum of 1 gram per pound:
Read below for a "dietician's" point of view:
The RDA for protein for adult males is 63 grams per day. Athletes can maintain protein equilibrium (muscle building equals muscle breakdown) on 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. So take your weight, divide by 2.2 then multiply by 1. In fact most persons can achieve protein equilibrium (positive nitrogen balance) at 0.6 to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram per day.
According to Dr. Carol Meredith at the University of California at Davis, muscle protein synthesis decreases during exercise and nearly doubles during recovery. Research she has shows that additional protein (studies of 1.35 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day) does not increase muscle mass or strength. In addition resistance exercise like weight lifting is a powerful anabolic (building) process that improves protein synthesis (increased muscle mass).
In fact what athletes need is increased caloric intake (60 calories per kilogram of body weight per day) which may contain protein food sources as well. One inherent problem with increasing protein from food sources, is you are probably also increasing fat content.

A Certified personal trainer: WOW! what qualifications: did he goto the 3day course? the take home course? or better yet the 2 day weekend seminar? to become this GREAT guru in dieting. HAHAHA, what a joke this guy is....hey, you can become a certified personal trainer online, feel free to do it....btw. this guy is full of shit, so I'd advice you ignore him.
Fact is, yes, 58% of excess protein can be converted to glucose, yet this usually comes to about 1.5g/lb for the advanced bodybuilder.
