Ive read before that consuming over 1.5 grams of protein per bodyweight , just goes to waste. 1,5 grams is the ideal amount one is suppose to eat per bodywieght. Any truth to this guys or has anyone read any on this?
My last bulking cycle I was taking in ~450 grams of protein - 140 of those grams coming from powder. Looking back, I can't believe I was eating that much. Now that I'm cutting, I'm getting ~200 grams of protein (more on 'cardio + training' days)
Yo Booey, I'm in the same boat. From Dec. to March it was 400-450 a day. Now I'm droppin' slowly. I'm still around 300 g's but by June 15, I should be around 250. Cuttin' up now to get ready for a small mass cycle starting in late July.
I'm about 175lbs right now, 10% and dropping. I get around 250-300g's day. I try and get between 250-300g's per day bulking or cutting. I just drop my carbs from 7-800 grams a day down to 3-400 when cutting
About a gram per pound of bodyweight, but make sure you get the vast vast majority of it from real foods as protein shakes are a supplement, but certainly not a substitution.
