Determining "how much daily Protein you need"

[bigp3]

I know I have grown a lot more since I have increased my intake from 1 gram per lb to 1.5. I can tell a difference for sure.

I recall reading that Cutler only took in a lil over 200 grams of protein per day.

And dj - ur not small bro - I'd be a skeleton if I was 10%. Damn dunk tank!

i always understood 1 for 1.doesn't your body excrete what you dont use.if thats the case whats the point of taking in excess protein.also what % does your body actually ingest/absorb.

My thoughts exactly bro. I'd love to know if it was possible to scientifically "figure out" how much protein you actually need based on your goals and LBM.

actually the guys over at animals site were the one's I was talking about. Doggcrapp recommends taking in huge amounts of Protein for growth. They talked about how they really started to grow when they upped there protein intake dramatically.

I don't think it's just thje protein that made them start growing but the fact that with the higher intake of protein the calories also went up and they finally started gaining.

You should eat protein when your body needs them. I eat small amounts every other hour to third. Breakfast I eat more and also pre and postworkout. Also before bedtime. These meals are about 50g protein, and from that I eat about 30g each small meal.
