The Truth About How Much Protein You Need

[Slyder190]

The first quote was you and the 2nd came off the Protein Factory web site. That's what I questioned. I think it was 10-20 grams of the super plasma a day recomended. Would you imagine a noticeable difference ingains if it was taken say 10grams before and after a workout? and say 10grams on non workout days?

It certainly can't hurt. I can say for certain that regular use of BIG BLAST will help with noticeable gains.

Fuck shakes, as far as I'm concerned they're all bullshit and will only have you on the toilet more.

Not true. It is the case with crappy concentrate drinks but the body will utilize protein from wherever it gets it and some supp protein sources are are good way to go. The problem is when people think a shake here and there is going to make a difference and they eat like shit the rest of the time. That's a waste.

Hey nelson if this is such a great proteind and is essentially liquid muscle do they use it in hospitals like in TPN? I just bought 2 btw and it is shipped. The reason i am asking is because there is an ER doc at work that I always run stuff by before I buy. he is a big fitness freak blah blah blha. lol But he is very intelligent. I told him that your stuff is like a super protein. So he raised the question if it is a super prtein then medical personel would be using it in burn victims and trauma victims.

What are your thoughts? (maybe I used super protein incorrectly lol)

So I was talking casually with a Nutritionist the other day and I mentioned that I consume about 180-200 g of protein a day. (I'm ~235) She was blown away by this 'elevated' amount of protein and gave me the typical warning about kidney stress, etc.

Anyone know how much protein is too much? I've read varying opinions across the board.

LOL at the US R.D.A. for protein which is only like 50g.

when taking in large amounts of protein, you need to drink a LOT of water. at 2g/lb bodyweight, you should be drinking 1.5 - 2 gal H2O (assuming you're around 200 lbs. or more.

By the way, I've heard of people well over 300 lbs. taking in over 800 grams of protein a day.

First of all SPP has been used for such purposes (in tests) but I must first ask...since when are hospitals concerned with optimum nutrition? Hell, they give people recovering from surgery cookies and jello. For trauma patients using IV protein would make much more sense. It's cheaper and effective. And that's what they do and some supp companies have even pushed those stats. Glutamine helps recovery in trauma victims -- WHEN FED IV!!!

I think SPP would have phenomenal applications in such cases but at $25 a pound, I wouldn't count on it.

Too much protein is a problem only when...

One: When there's insufficient intake of water.

And two: Carbs are too low. (This can cause gout).

Other than that, there's absolutely no evidence that it'll cause kindney stress in a healthy person unless too many overall calories are ingested.

I don't think that more than 200 grams need to be taken every day, but when bulking (on or off cycle) it's the way to get maximum results.

The studies done on high protien diets and thier "danger" were done on peoplke in renal failure. SO the healthy bodybuilder eating massive amounts of protein is not affected like those in renal failure.

not tru .. protein carlories are building block and fat and carb calories are energy calories.. a calorie is not a cal lol .. protein makes u grow is why they choose to get such large amount of their cals from it

LOL what do you think a calorie is? it is a unit of energy.

Protien is used for energy. why do you think that people who suffer from anorexia nervosa lack muscle mass? They dont eat and the body if breaking down protiens for energy.
