How much protein

[GFR]

Just for a point of reference lets say you are a 200 Lb male, not using steroids or anything else in that category. You lift weights 3-5 times a week and take your training very seriously.
The reason I made this poll is because some people just seem to eat a ridiculous (beyond unnecessary) amount of protein, and I just want to see what the majority of people think.

i eat 600 grams a day nd weigh 275, so how bout 375 - 425 for you, and if you are not cutting, 450-550carbs, i eat 800 carbs a day. hope this help. i train 4 days a week.

Bill pearl only ate 150 grams of protein a day, and weighed over 200 in contest shape.

 

[302 notch]

I am 5-8 185 pounds and eat about 160-200 grams a day

 

[VipeR]

I always go by the traditional "1g per lb of bodyweight"... so about 200g of protein daily

 

[NEW_IN_THE_GAME]

i eat more just becuase i never stop beeing hungry, been that way my whole life, so instead of chips and soda, or burgers and shakes. i eat beef chicken and rice, milk and protein powder.

80 grams of fat is extremely low for a 275 lb man, that might be the problem. I would think at that weight you should eat 120+.

I noticed that you have gained 50 Lbs in the last year....I really hope you are not using steroids at such a young age.

I've been telling people this for years. unless the person has some sort of muscle wasting disease muscle protein turnover just isn't that great. I stick to using 1-1.5 grams per lb of LBM. fat doesn't need protein...

even at 260 I was only eating maybe 350-400 grams of protein on a good day, not on average.

I agree 100% - 1.5g per pound lean mass is more than enough.

when you guys count your protein ... do you 'count' the protein thats in EVERYTHING..
like oats , etc...or just obviousl protein sources...

I don't count protein from non-animal sources...IMO the BV is too low

I count from everything... But I make sure there is at least 1g/protein per pound complete.

 

[PTYP]

I count from everything.

2 grams is 2 grams whether it comes from oats or meat.

 

[The Monkey Man]

2g per lb of BW

Protein is counted from every source

I am doing other forms of exercise besides lifting, this requires extra intake...

If all I had to do was lift, and immediately lay in a hyperbaric chamber...
I could probably get away with 300-350g

Hyperbaric chamber???? where can I get on of these? is it a new kind of sleeping device?

 

[Vanessa40]

lol...not even close the biological value of protein from meat is 70 while oats is about 50. whole eggs and protein powders are 100. much to learn young Skywalker

I don't know...

But if I'm not swimming, running, working outside, stressing in the office, or stuck in my car in traffic...

I think it would be cool to be napping in one

(Michael Jackson has one)

 

[canuck muscle]

I aim for 1-1.5g/lb. Some people seem to think protein will only be used for muscle building. Too much protein will be stored as fat.

Had to do a search, thank you for the education

I get between 250-300 grams a day, just to get more calories. I don't want to eat 650 grams of carbs everyday.

What about fats?

 

[ihateschoolmt]

What about fats?

around 110 grams a day. I know it sounds like a lot, but I need the calories.

Damn dude thats a lot of protein. Are u getting results?

Ahhh... but then you need to ask yourself if the results due the the excessive protein intake or the calories they provide in combination with a good training program and his young and growing body...
