How Many Grams Of Protein Does Everyone Consume In A Day?

[TAURUS1977]

How many grams of protein do you consume in a days time? I know some bodybuilders claim to consume between 600-800 grams a day and some bodybuilders consume more. I once read an artical about Jay Cutler in Muscle & Fitness and he said he used to consume about 450-500 grams of protein a day and when he moved it up to between 700-800 he made the best gains of his life. So I was just curious about how much protein everyone consumed in a day?

Thank You

What are your current stats mustang?

I've always done fine w/ just 1g/pound and just increasing carbs a bit. I'm 237. I don't count whey or shakes as a protein source, they're in and out so fast, i'd much rather use food as my source.

1.5-2.0 grams per pound of body weight while cycling.
I'm not sure about when off because everyone is different. Ive been told by trainers that 1g per pound of body weight. I take it they were not talking about AS...lol.

Between 400 and 500g daily.

I have a high metabolism so I stick with at least 2g per lbs. of bw but some claim 1g is enough

im 170lbs and get about 180-200 per day. maybe thats why im not growing like i want. i started out @ 130 and am at 170 now. cool and all but i feel discouraged when i see others growing off a lot less. but i guess its genetics......maybe ill bump it up to 300 or so and see what happens.........
