How much protein do I need
Hi Guys, I am training for approximately an hour, 4 times a week. I weigh 185.6 lb & I need to lose some fat & tone up. My calorie intake is about 2000 per day.
I'm currently taking 'All the Whey' protein shake & with my current diet I seem to be consuming about 130 grams of protein a day! Is this about right? ![]() |

You could shoot for more protein
If youre restricting calories and trying to cut Id eat a lot of protein You should prally try for more than 1 gram per pound of bodywieght if possible |

whey is your friend
because if you want to cut body fat then eating a lot will not do you good so you gota get the protein somewhere else whey has for example 21 grams and 120 cals while a steak might hvae 21 grams of protein and 400 calories (just an educated guess) whey is cheap, healthy, and natural you might want to take in about 190 grams of protein and do a lot of excercise |

185g a day

In terms of protein - don't just rely on whey - real food should be your first choice first - so what about adding in some chicken, fish, lean meat, eggs, skim dairy or game meats? 2000 cals is also not a lot of food for someone your size - and you want to be careful of this. Cutting calories too drastically is not going to help you in the long term... So by increasing your protein intake you will increase your calorie intake too, and this will be a good thing... |

I try to but I almost never know. My mom makes food in ways where its all different and in sauce or not. I know I get around 60 grams of protein from one shake that I take post workout. Thats actually my only shake of the day.
