How much protein do you consume while "on".

[MrRTTB]

I'm at 1.7g/lb bw of protein, but for the moment I do not have any proteinpowder so It's hard..very hard..I'm also a lactoint. so it sucks..How much do you et while on? Protein that is..

 

[diamonddiceclay]

as much as I can possibly get in during a 24hr period.at least 350g

 

[Willyumyum]

On a given day about 500-520g of protein (2x per pound, approx - I weigh 260)

YUM

How the hell

How the hell you supposed to eat that much protein while cutting, and assuming you dont burn it off.... ( running like there is no tommorow and other cardio ) the protein will turn it to fat correct?

YUM

Isnt it so that the body can only us about 40 g of protein from every meal? so it seems that 500g per day is a lot, right?

 

[G-Man]

It can only process that "naturally" i can process much more when you are "on".

I stick with 365-385 grams a day no matter what I am on. I weigh 220-225 so that seems to do the trick for me.

G-Man...

yeah i know but not that much more.....

400-600 grams

I take in very little carbs and do something like this

for 2 to 3 days

25-75 carbs--------400-600protein-----------100+fats

then 1 day of

300-500 carbs---- 250-400protein------------min. fats

then repeat----

I take in anywhere between 50-80grams protein per meal mostly real foods with 2 low carb shakes a day(everything is approx) and over the past few months had seen great results from very high protein......But I can't say for certain that its the high protein or other factors that have been the cause of the results but I'm the biggest I have ever been and this is the first time I have ever brought the protein this high----So I will stay with it for as long as I feel its working for me....

I think it's about 50-60 and I usually take ginger root with large amounts of protein and being "on" your body can process even more of what's coming into it (protein, etc...)... I eat 6-7 times a day, as well, so it's not like I'm eating just piling in 100+ g of protein in a single sitting...

YUM

1.5x my bodyweight and its fair enough. At least thats my personal experience.

Some say this but when I see a 125 pound (woman) in my gym that competes in the national level take in 250grams of protein precontest and be ripped to shit---then certainly a 270 pound guy should be consuming more then that -NO?

hell their is a chix on the womans board who competes and does well that takes in more cals pre-contest at 130 pounds then some of the guys who compete on here take in pre-contest at 200 pounds---I don't care what anyone says but the pros in this sport take in tons and tons of protein----the 1-1 1/2grams per bodyweight are for the mags---just my opinion
