which deit do you like better for bulking

[tunaman]

...this is for me, a 185lbs 16% BF


50/25/25

protein = 360g x 4 = 1440
carbs = 200g x 4 = 800
fat = 85g x 9 = 765
____________________________
calories = 3005

3000/6 = 500 calories per meal every three hours


40/40/20

protein = 250g x 4 = 1000
carbs = 250g x 4 = 1000
fat = 56g x 9 = 500
____________________________
calories = 2500

2500/6 = 416 calories per meal every three hours



The first one seems like a lot to me. 360g of protein a day????

This is what my meals would look like, give or take.

6:00AM
Protein Shake
1 Cup of Cereal
1 Glass Milk




9:00AM
2 Eggs whole large
2 Eggs White large
2 Whole wheat bread



12:00PM
1 cup Cottage Cheese
1/2cup Oatmeal

1:30PM
1 tuna can
2 Whole Wheat bread
1 Piece of cheese
Yogurt

5:30PM
Protein Shake

8:00PM
Beef Round Steak or Chicken or Fish or Lean Ground Beef
Baked Potato

Any suggestions on what I should add or take? When?

What r u eating to get 400g of protein a day?

I can think of a lot of things I can eat, but then my fat % would be way out of wack.

Anyway... 400/6 meals a day = 67g per sitting.

I didn't think the body could benefit from more than 40g at a time?

 

[diamonddiceclay]

eat red meat-and the body can benefit from more than 60 at a time

 

[=w=]

There is no set cieling the body can benifit from!!!!!!!!!
Show me a study saying there is - IT IS A MYTH with no backing!!!

There are many factors that have to be taken into account to know how much your body can use.
1. Weight: It is foolish to say that a 300lb. individual and a 150lb. individual can digest the exact same 40 (or 60) grams per sitting without taking into account body weight.

2. Metabolizm: Different individuals have different metabolizms and can utilize protein better/worse in greater/smaller amounts then others.

3. Time of Day: In the morning or post training when your body is starving for nutrients you can utilize protein better then at other times of the day.

Sorry to sway from the origional topic of the thread but I am sick of this protein ceiling myth.
