Hey guys, I'm thinking about starting to cycle my protein. I've always pretty much ate the same amt all the time. Lately I think I've stressed my kidneys from eating alot of protein for extended periods of time and I'm looking to start cycling it.
I've heard ways to cycle but not sure on this one, what do you think?
5 days, during the week, eat high protein. for me that is normally about 250+grms/day. Then on Sat and Sun drop my protein intake to about 1-1.2grms/lb bodyweight. I weight about 167lbs so that would be about 170-200grms/day.
What I'm concerned about is what about the workouts later in the week like my FRI and SAT workouts? By lowering my protein intake on Sat and Sun wouldnt I be depriving those muscle groups the protein they need to grow, whereas my workouts early in the week would be having plenty of protein to grow (250+grms/day).?
