Protein intake

[tc_89]

hey guys,
I've been bodybuilding for about 4 years now - started just after i got juvenile diabetes when i was 14. I used to have plenty of time to work a 5-day split program, but these days i work a 3-day, doubling up on sessions whenever I get the time.

I've been told a great way to gain weight fast is to take your weight in kilos and double that amount, change it to grams and consume that much daily in protein.
For example, i weigh 70kg so i would need to consume 140g of protein a day.

As well as red meat, protein shake, and other things, small tuna cans are a good way to help get this amount consumed. I just wanted to know if you guys can give any other tips, or tell me any negatives in eating large amounts of tuna.
Also if this is a safe or good amount of protein to take.
Thanks.

What's your stats? 140 Grams of Protein per day for a 4 year vet to BBing sounds extremely low.

hes only 70kg, which is about 154lb.

You could up the protein a bit mate. Theres a bit of sodium in tuna.

My tip - After taking into account your own requirements per meal etc - Make up 1kg batches of chicken with rice/veges and eat a few of those per day to make hitting your protein and eating the right things easier.

obviously i've never really seriously taken into account my diet with my workout, which is probably the reasons my gains haven't been as good as they could be. Used protein shake inconsistently here and there. I only bench 100kg to date.
What stats do you need?

Hey man, i would advise reading the stickies and getting a nice diet in order. Your probably not even getting close to where you could be with a spot on diet.

1 gram of protein for every pound you weigh
