    protein intake

    im 6 ft 2 230 lbs and been working out hard for last 10 weeks, about 4 weeks ago i hit a plateau where i was not getting bigger or stronger (particularly on my chest and biceps, my best parts). so i went through these forums and basucally found that i was massively overtraining.

    so with the help of people on here i changed my workout, cut out loads of the volume , did mainly compound exercises etc etc

    now heres the point , on top of this i thougt if i wanna really bulk ive gotta make sure im getting enough protein. my diet is a bit hit and miss and as im not gonna go into a competition or anything i dont wanna spend hours analysing my diest. so i bought a whey protein. i read on hereyou need 1g for every lb of weight. so thats 235g protein a day. now having read these forums thats a hell of a lot . in one serving of my post protein shake it says it has 17g protein.

    should i be upping the amount of this stuff i have ?

    you have to account for your dietary protein intake as well.
    Figure out how many grams a day you're getting from food, than adjust from there.

    The main source of protein should be coming from your diet. (lean meats, fish)
    The protein powder is used as a supplement to this. Twice a day and I say no more than 3 times a day.

    You can also add other ingredients to the shake.

    I like adding Whole Oats, Bananas or frozen fruits and an Organic raw egg (when mixed in a blender you cant notice the egg's texture).

    This should give you about 10-12g of extra protein with one egg.

    Your protein intake is fine.

    If you are looking at bulking check your carbs and fats.
