What rule of thumb do you guys use for protein intake while trying to cut? I have been taking 300 grams and I weigh 200 lbs. Keeping carbs to about 150
jubei said:I personally don't think going above 1.5 g of protien per lb of body mass a day has any benefit other than the additional calories.

muscleup said:There is no correct answer numb nuts...we all do not respond the same as others...The diet that I'm following was designed by swolecat, and this is what he suggested that I do...I take in 70 grams of protein every 2-2.5 hours...
YES !!! I would go broke otherwise...But I eat 7 times per dayBulldog_10 said:No correct answer? From the studies I've seen, there is most definitely a correct answer. Of course not everyone reacts differently to everything, but certainly everyone falls within a given range...
You're talking 70g every 2 hours only during waking hours, right? I sure hope so.

as of now yesBulldog_10 said:Do you mean you get 490g of protein per day?![]()

My track record speaks for itself.
Periodization of higher than "normal" protein, then "normal" protein intake while increasing fats, has a lot of merit. If ya don't know, well, ya don't know.
Ahem.

bigp3 said:I say 1.5 is the minimum and 2g per lb is optimum at all times on or off
dude your a fucking joke....all you do is start shit around here. Post a pic of yourself and then let swole post a pic, and then we will see who knows dietsjubei said:People love to parrot information regardless of whether there is any evidence to support their claims or not.
SC, your diets are bullshit. If you don't know how to make a diet, well ya don't know.
GeneticFreak18 said:whats wrong with 70g every meal? muscleup diet looks fine to me
I understand your point completely it is a shit load...but it's working great for me...Bulldog_10 said:490g is way too much IMO. That's all I was saying...not that there's anything "wrong" with it necessarily...i just don't agree with it based on what I've learned.
muscleup said:I understand your point completely it is a shit load...but it's working great for me...
I do struggle with it...everyday...somedays it does not happen...mphowells said:I thinks it's a hell of a lot too, and I would strugle to eat that much I think. but like bulldog says, if it works for you then it can't really be disputed. Good luck to you man![]()

as usual great post !!!jubei said:I'm a joke? How old are you? There are members on this board who know what I look like and its alot fucking better than 235 @ 14 percent bodyfat. And guess what? I don't need somebody to make a diet for me or eat 500 grams of protien per day. Why don't you show me some evidence that the extra protien is helping you instead of calling me names. Oh thats right you're only 50 years old and not mature enough for that.
I get props from mods on this site on a regular basis. You don't like my posts thats fine, keep kissing Needsize's and SC's ass...I'll send you some vaseline for your chapped lips. Bye sweetheart.
ugly bastard...Oh your very mature as well...You started this shit by saying that SC'S diets were shit...which was uncalled for...I never claimed to look the best...jubei said:BTW, my post was an opinion on a subject and not a personal attack. You aren't even able to have anybody disagree with you without calling names. I didn't even mention you in my post. You need to learn to shut the fuck up you ugly bastard.
something to consider, but it's not like I'm not eating carbs...I'm getting around 450- 500 of those per day as well...very clean low GI carbs...except for my dextrose PWO...psychedout said:Muscleup, I think you can progress on your diet, but I think you could progress much more if you changed things up a bit.
I think if you cut back your protien to say 1.5 grams per pound, and upped your carbs/healthy fats you would get better results, and save yourself money.
Unless your on 2grams+ of gear per week, I don't think your body can make use of more than 1.5grams per pound of protien.
Honestly. Ive eaten at 1.25 grams per pound of protein and 2+ and I noticed zero difference in results.

SC, your diets are bullshit. If you don't know how to make a diet, well ya don't know.
Bulldog_10 said:I think both of you have pretty shitty attitudes.
jubei said:Yeah I'm on fina.
YOU GOT A pm AT YOUR BOARD BRO~SC~ said:I'm sorry, you're a no name to me........never heard of ya kid.......
Who would you be?
Exactly..........nobody, a paper champion. Never heard of ya!
Can we see your pics, what you look like? Show us!
The 490 grams of protein is extreme, his amounts should not be that high, don't know where he's getting that figure from, but I've asked him to contact me.........even if it were what I recommend, check the scoreboard "brother", you can't touch what I've touched, can't flip what I've done flopped, couldn't hit what I done shot, couldn't tip what I've done topped.............
You my man are the only bullshit around here. You know nothing about what I do, nor what I have accomplished. Before you run your mouth to someone you have no idea about, do some research and see who you're fuckin' with.
If that don't help, check out the next issue of MuscleMag........until you are in there gettin' props as I am, shut the fuck up........

jubei said:As for muscleup, shit has been building between us for a while. I have no problems with you and you are a respected member on the boards for a reason. If you don't like me thats fine, keep your comments civil and I will do the same.
griznuts2004 said:I post a short and sweet little post and it turns out to be a testosterone war.... SWEET!Thanks for everyones input. My 300 grams sounds to be perfect. If I am taking in a little too much, probably just shitting the unneeded protein out.
muscleup said:something to consider, but it's not like I'm not eating carbs...I'm getting around 450- 500 of those per day as well...very clean low GI carbs...except for my dextrose PWO...
Thats the part I hate the most...psychedout said:Well thats good then. I dunno. If it works for you, more power to you, but I think for most people it would not work. Nor would most people want to spend that much money on protien.
