Thread: High Protien Source?

If your wonderin about diet and that, this place is the bomb for the info, these people here know everything.

even though i dont know shit about diet or for that matter anything, i know tuna, lean beaf, turkey, eggs, chicken breast, etc are the highest sources of protein.

And from what ive gathered fats from flax seed oil and other fat sources are supposed to be eaten with proteins to slow down digestion... also the consumption of fats is supposed to fill you up, making you less hungry all the time.

or i could be wrong please correct me if iam

anyways good luck dude

what he said. protien drinks as well.

hmmm....sounds good, A problem I have with protien drinks/shakes is all I have seen are high in fat and calories as well.........any suggestions on something low in both that is available of the internet??

Frozen chicken breast, I get it in a bag, 6.x pounds $2.15 a pound.

hey traps ....Most whey protein is low in fat...under 2g...make sure you're getting the low carb kinds (under 3 g).

Most protein sources are rather low in fat....tuna, chicken, turkey...beef and salmon are the exceptions...salmond however is full of EFA's.

However...if you're only getting 100g carbs..why on earth would you go low fat? You need something for energy...I'd suggest getting 15 g of fat in each meal...good sources include egg yolks, cream, flax seed oil, olive oil, peanut butter, newmans dressings. Check out the best nutritional threads sticky ...read "fat loss primer" "mens cutting meal plans" and "bulking w/ slow burners" for good info on meal composition.

In order to start eating properly I am told and have read that at least 1 gram of protien per pound of bodyweight is a good as well as no more than 100 grams of carbs in a day.

Dude, the difference of a diet low in carbs or relatively high in carbs will make no difference for your fat self.

Just focus on calories with adequate protein and adequate EFAs.

Once you get down to more stubborn bodyfat then maybe worry about low carbs.

Right now just eat a balanced diet.

Um damn! I have to agree with Rob again! Who said to stay under 100g of carbs? I wouldn't suggest that unless your cutting for a contest. That is nothing.........

100 grams of carbs per day is nothing?

I beg to differ........

I was intending to get most fats suplementally, (omega threes and omega 6 at least)...not a good idea?

I think what he means is it`s the total amount of cals consumed over the day that matter more than the macro split.

Yup. That said, if you are staying under maint. cals, and you keep protein through the roof (where I think it should be) your carbs will naturally be a bit low.

For instance I weight 215 to 220 right now and try to get in over 400 grams of protein each day. Granted I am on a bulk but still.

I get there by eating meats, chicken, eggs, and fish, as well as protein shakes and low fat cottage cheese. 3 cups of cottage cheese gets you over 90g of protein.

Anyway at your weight you can prolly consume 3000-3500 cals and still lose weight, particularlly on AS.

300 grams of carbs on a cut is only 1200 cals so you've still got plenty of cals for some good carbs and fat. Hell, if you had 300g of protein and 300g carbs you'd still have room for 100g of good fat per day. And at that you'd only be 3300 kcals.

When you stop losing at that amount, then you can start cutting the carbs say 50g at a time.

The theory behind low carbs is to keep insulin in the blood stream in lower volume.

Insulin can be a bastard when it comes to stubborn bodyfat deposits so low carbs can be useful.

No offense here man, but you got a big-ass belly, and stubborn bodyfat won't even come into play until about 6-10 months of solid cutting down the line.

Right now, you can drop quite a considerable amount of fat without really affecting your training too negatively, if at all. So no point dropping carbs down that low when you don't need to.

re: Fats. Focus on w-3. You'll have a shit-load of w-6 stashed up in your belly (and other mass deposits) and you'll get more than enough from other foods. No need to specifically go hunting for it.

so, if you eat more than 100 carbs per day that is unhealthy eating? why?

If he's like me, then 100g of carbs could be bad. My body reacts almost immediately to carbs, and not jus water wt. Constant sensitivity? In fact, some of us (me) can consume a deficit (by those damn bmr/req calculators) ammount of cals and carbs will still bring wt gain. I have to relegate myself basically to fiberous veggies and tthe like. Hell, we're all different.


Protein sources:
Scallops rock, tuna, swordfish, salmon, eye of round (can buy 3-5lbs @ a time), fat free cheese (for Pro vs. Tcals), turkey, lean pork tenderloins, chicken...
