Cool Novice ![]() ![]() Posts: 11 |
what's up everyone, I'm new to the board. I was wondering what you guys think is a good intake of protein while on deca. I know your protein intake is supposed to be high but i don't want to overdue it. I only weight about 172 so I was thinking of consuming about 200-225 grams of protein a day. To much to little or just right? Thanks ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

300-400g protien would be optimal. Increase calories as well. 3500-5000 would be what you are shooting for. For deca to do it's thing, these must be met. ghans ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Deca is absolutely uneffective if protien requirements are not only met, but exceeded. It is the most protien dependant drug you will have in your line up. -MO ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Thanks guys.....I knew you need alot of protein while on Deca due to the increase of protein synsthesis....but i wasn't sure how much...I thought i might be able to get away with about 1.5 grams per pounds ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

All gear, almost across the board, increases protien synthesis, but they usually affect growth in other ways to. Deca only works by the increased rate of protien synthesis, which is why protien is absolutely needed...more than on other drugs. -MO ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

What would you say is the optimal amount of protein per pound then while on deca? I'm really light, so 400g protein per day for me would be like 2.5 to 3 grams per pound. How much is too much, or is around 2.5 the best amount? ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
