STOP taking so much protein!!!

[sk*]

I always stressed protein intake but now I realize that too much isn't essential for proper growth. Recently I haven't been taking in nearly enough protein and my gains have followed just as regular. I used to shug down protein shakes and eat everything in sight and gain as much as I do now without the whole hussle.

Maybe you're different but I gain just fine with just 200mg protein and I am 250-255lbs.

I second that. I am 250, but anything over 200g per day seems like a waste. I don't know where people get the idea that you need 2g/lb--that's just insane.

Funny thing is that's how much I always took and insane amounts of ginger root too, but I do just fine with half that and my regular 2ginger root pills before my meals.

1.7-1.9 gms of protein per KILO of bodyweight is optimal from what i have read. In the numerous studies i have seen any less is counter-productive... and in the super high protein diets some studies show better gains in LBM, while the majority of others show no better effect...

Increase protein absorption by a good amount. Search for macro's thread for good info on it.

That seems about right, I used to always take 2X bodyweight in LBS not kilos.
