Reply With QuoteA rule of thumb is about a gram per pound per day, I think. That's a lot, but it won't kill you. You also have to take into consideration your whole diet.

Grams of protein
Is about 250 grams of protein a good amount for someone who weights 156lbs and is trying to get muscle mass?

Space it out evenly over the day so that you body always has a constant source or protein. You are probably aware of this however I know many lifters who think that eggs in the moring and a steak at night is all they need as long as they get their 1g per pound of bodyweight.

A better interpretation of the rule is 1-1.5g protein per lb. of lean body mass per day, but that doesn't exclude you from eating more. Protein helps a lot with satiety. You have to make sure you're leaving room in your diet for fiber and healthy fats though.

depending on the phase of my diet I eat 1-1.5 grams per lb of fat free mass, after all fat doesn't need protein
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.
