Wow, you eat 2lbs of protein for every lb of lean bodyweight? That's a lot of food.Generally 1 - 2 lb per lb of body mass, although I go with 2 lbs per lb of lean body mass personally. It is best most of this comes from whole foods, but a Protean shake or two per day would go far in meeting your macro needs.
Pretty sure he means gramsWow, you eat 2lbs of protein for every lb of lean bodyweight? That's a lot of food.
Idk man, he said lb for lb at least 2 times in that post lol.Pretty sure he means grams
I would faint if someone placed a 2x bodyweight pile of steaks on the table in front if me.Idk man, he said lb for lb at least 2 times in that post lol.
And I suppose it's easier to calculate if you just use 1g per pound of bodyweight.0.8g/lb body weight is what the scientific literature supports, and that number is supported to several sigma. That means you can do just fine with even less, .6 is probably just as good.
This makes sense if you think about it. You know how slowly muscle grows. Your muscles can only physically use so much protein. This is even more the case for advanced lifters who get slow gains.
I suspect the high protein bro science came about by, as usual, following the advice of pro bodybuilders in magazines, etc. You must remember these guys are on steroids at an incredible level, and they can probably use the protein. Another avenue for the myth is probably protein powder companies. Though I have no problem getting all protein from solid food.
More protein is also great for satiety, especially on a calorie restriction. Meaning, it helps you feel full for longer from the same amount of calories. Also protein's true caloric value is about 3.2 cal/g, not 4, due to it's higher digestion energy, so people save calories that way too.And I suppose it's easier to calculate if you just use 1g per pound of bodyweight.
Not exactly. They use amino acids. These are found in both protein sources and carbs. Pro bodybuilders are just as prone as us to bro science. There's no reason whatsoever to eat 600 grams of protein. Even at 400 lbs*looks at jay cutler* using a gram or more of test...however...protein is highest in the 3 bcaas which contribute to the 400lbs. Oh well. Not much science done on mega doses of roids in humans. Especally with low fat *I've seen 5 % fat on another fourm with a guy taking 1g test,dbol at 50mg ,tren ace and hgh.*0.8g/lb body weight is what the scientific literature supports, and that number is supported to several sigma. That means you can do just fine with even less, .6 is probably just as good.
