WHO here feels that 200 mg Protein/day is sufficient?

quote: theride please explain blodtype

its written books on this subject. the blood type diet.this is not scientificly proven (aas ist either).
depending on your blod type you digest certain types of protein better than others and your body can use more of the aminoacids also.
the biological value of the protein depends on your blod type.
i dont usaly write english so .......good enouh explainatoin?

200 g is enough for people who are 200 pounds and under, and are not taking AAS. If you are on AAS, I think you should be getting at least 2x body weight in protein because of all the extra protein synthesis going on.

Well someone should have told me that when i weighed 275 with 13% BF. I got there with sparse protein consumptoin, about 200 grams per day and used no more then 500mg of Sust alone to get there over several cycles, and i started working out at 185 lbs. I learned quickly that there is a protein cut off point. At 150 grams per day the growth always started for me, so i fealt no need to increase, for what? You can only grow so fast. Over time i increased it to 200 grams and it worked just fine, but my growth exploded when i added more fat and carbs into the diet then protein. My lifts literally skyrocketed. For example my deadlift workouts:

Work sets:
Week1. 275 for 15
week2. 315 for 12
week3. 365 for 8
week4. 405 for 8

week5. Quit doing deads because the sudden strenght increase got me worried about blowing something out. The same happened with most of my other lifts, and they all skyrocketed when i added more fat and carbs into my diet, NOT protein, but that's not to say protein is not critical, it is, but not in the ridiculous 2 grams per lb bullshit. All you're doing there is ingesting expensive calories to be crapped out.

Damn......makes me feel better already. I Know that what works for some, may not for others....but i am going to give this 200 gms/day thing a try starting tomorrow (as I'll be eating about 500 gms today of TURKEY )

thanks for the post

I wouldn't say it's necessarily all about the actual amount of protein you're taking in, what's also important is how much you are actually absorbing. Everyone is different with respect to the amount of protein their body utilizes.

As someone else mentioned, throw in some ginger root to help with protein digestion.

First thing, get yourself on a controlled diet. Start with 1 gram of protein per pound of lean mass. Stick with this for about a month. Check your progress and increase or decrease your consumption depending on your results. I wish one figure could work for everyone....but that isn't it. It will take time to figure out what works for you. If this kind of stuff were easy...then we'd all be freaks. Just remember to document everything you do, then you can go back and see what worked and what didn't.

shiiiiiit! I weighed 230 before and I ate 230grams of protein and gained 45 pounds on test and d-bol. I ate more carbs I think though.

I`ve read your other posts and they sound reasonable. I`m sure your total calories had to be high, so I`m wondering what your pro/carb/fat breakdown was.

something most of you are missing when spouting that you can grow with certain amounts of protein, ITS COMPLETELY INDIVIDUAL!!! Some guys can grow off of small amounts, some guys cant. Some guys can grow off of stupid, not very well thought out workouts, and most cant. Some guys can grow off off small or poorly thought out cycles, some cant. There are no absolutes in bodybuilding.
I would really like to see someone the size of a very large competitive bodybuilder, try to add more mass eating 1 gram per lb, or even 1.5 isnt likely with most people that size. But how many guys on here are actually that size, i see lots of guys throwing out their weight and stats, but frankly I dont buy it for the most part. Out of all my years here, I've seen maybe 5 guys post pics that back up those kind of stats

Yeah, but you're uncircumsized, so your opinion doesn't matter.
