How Much Protein Gets Wasted?

[KID_DESTRUCTO]

So ive been reading up a lot about taking protein and how much a person should take. Im currently working out 6 days a week with sun./off. Taking 25mg/ed of D-bol. My normal protein intake a day is about 200grams, weight 180, 5'10". When i work out its for about 2hrs ed with 1hr cardio. Is this enough protein? Or is the shit just getting wasted. Any help mucho appreciated!!!

i think you're perfectly fine.

i'm 5'11, 192, 9% and take 200-250 a day.

usually if you start farting a lot after taking in a lot of protein it's getting wasted, take some ginger root caps with your protein, start off low 30/40 grams and increase each time until you start farting, that is probably your 'single sitting' and however many times you can do the 'single sitting' max in a day is your daily intake.

have you seen DIALTONE's physique?

the guy is 240 pounds of lean muscle. absolutely shredded!

and he only consumes 200g a day if my memory serves me correctly.

mojo are you saying that after i take my protein, if its to much i will fart it out. Thats why they smell so bad
What does the ginger root have to do with anything? Does it help in not letting the protein get wasted. And if so how much would I have to take.
Can anyone else here relate to what is being said?

Ginger THEORETICALLY helps you digest protein more efficiently. I took it and noticed no difference.

I have 'overdosed' on many different types of protein, from whey to the ones in protein bars, they each have their distinct 'smell'

Ginger root is supposed to ease digestion and help everything flow so things can be more properly digested. I take it everyday just to keep everything going no matter what, I do take aminogen when I take my protein, I used to have bad farts, but when I take aminogen I have very little if any at all.

Your body has to adapt to your increased protein intake in any event, so as you keep the steady levels of increased protein coming in, your body will adapt ( to a point ). When I came off 'pure keto' ( no carb-ups ) and did my first carb-up with a shitload of sugar, I did not stop farting for 2 days straight because it was the first time my body saw that much sugar, after a few more weeks of carb-ups things got much more normal ..

listen bros..

its a waste to consume an obscene amout of protein.

its stupid to consume less than 1.25g per pound of lean body mass. that's the minimum that many will agree is the standard.

any more... probably wont do any good.

any less... you may risk not maximizing muscle growth.

its a subject that can not scientifically be answered as modern day science has not yet evolved to such high standards.

within a few years, i believe, scientists in sports nutrition will be able to answer our protein inquiries more efficiently. that's for sure.

It's not something that's black and white. Everybody is different depending on genetics, weights, if drugs that increase nitrogen retention are being used ,cardio, timing of meals, and quality of protein. I would say stay around 1.25g's per pound of bodyweight, and you should be fine.

I read a blurb in a recent SHAPE magazine that only about 70% of the protein you eat is actually assimilated into the body.

The editors protrayed protein as a good alternative for dieting because a) it makes you feel fuller longer than carbs (supposedly) and b) the incomplete absorption.
