Protein....

[MusclesFrogs]

Guys, there have been a LOT of vague answers here based simply on what you do as opposed to the factual science of it. Got it, meat has more nutrients, oils, etc. But my question is, can anyone link me to any "scientific data" that shows eating meat increases muscle growth more/faster than the equivalent amount of protein taken via WPI. I don't want to hear any anecdotal data about what you do and how it helps, Im just curious if there's a link to a scientific study that compares the two - that is all that matters.

 

[mikeg313]

Now would this be a study that involves trolls or actual men that actually lift?

Oooh ooh ooh me like meat! me like protein! Me lift big weight to make muscle!

 

[machorox123]

I cant believe this retard doesn't get that you can't do a study on this shiz..And why the fug wud anyone wanna live off protein shakes?! Here's one variable that no study will be able to pinpoint. No two people metabolize food the exact same way.

 

[musclefool]

I haven't had a protein shake in about 6 months and I have been doin better without it. Meats all day

Nice, I'd love to be able to do that instead of shakes , do you eat larger portions of meat with breakfast, lunch and dinner or do you eat say 6 meals a day with meat every one. Just seems you'd have to do ALOT of eating to get even 1g per lb of BW and on top of that seems pricey not to mention time consuming.

Use common sense here, when you eat something, think about each step of digestion. Your body is designed for solid real food.

I don't think this guy has much of that otherwise he wouldn't be pressing such a dumb ass topic so persistently.

That's your opinion.
And I have mine

Dude chicken breast is 1.99 per lb.. 1lb of chickens got about 100g of protein. I eat at least 8oz for at least 3 meals. Not difficult or expensive and only takes about 45 min to cook up my food for the day

Hitting protein goals with all whole foods isn't really that hard. Chicken breast man. Even a grilled cheese sandwich with two slices of cheese elicits roughly 20g of protein. Have two 40g. Drink 16 oz of milk 16 more. 6 eggs for breakfast 36g. Two cans of tuna 44g without bread... that's roughly 130g without meat. Add in some grilled chicken, steak, lean ground beef, Turkey, salmon and you'll be surprised.

Rough estimations but the point remains the same

I think you misinterpreted my post. I was inquiring about your diet and asking questions not making an opinion.

I just can't get that much chicken down anymore. I've cooked it every which way under the sun and can't do it in that quantity.

Yeah , you're right, I was thinking of the meats I eat and was thinking damn that would be hard to get all that in. I also didn't consider dairy since I've cut that out completely from my diet. I'm so burnt on chicken and tuna I barely touch either anymore. So mainly my whole food protein intake consists of eggs, steak and ground turkey with snacks like almonds , natty PB ,etc throughout the day. On average I get probably 120-140 grams a day from food and the rest from shakes 2-3 times a day to account per lb of BW. Once I start bulking again ill have to get over my taste buds and dairy bloating issues.

Oh well you should do some research and you will find the knowledge you need

 

[EatMoar]

But but but I like my protein shakes all 12 of them daily :[

Well, you do have the right to be an attorney if you want to.

Gotta use all tools available to us: science, anecdotal feedback, experience, etc... If you're one sided biased (which I know you're not) you miss out on A LOT of possibilities, period.

Those two can't really be compared fairly and you sort of stated that. A piece of meat that is equivalent in protein content to a protein shake has many additional factors (fat, calories, etc.).

How bout you not be a douche and lighten up?'

My comment was in the form of a question to you and you replied with a condescending remark. Whatever move on.

 

[hvactech]

another whole food-protein shake debate......sigh

 

[machorox123]

Looks like we finally shut the troll up

 

[gravitygames]

Just eat it! eat the **** out of what ever get it down find a dam appetite. you will grow. you are what ya eat!!

By your grammar, you're far too intelligent for me to compete with.

 

[MusclesFrogs]

MuscleFrogs... I will try to be honest wiff you, there are NNOOOOOOOOOOOOO Studies ASSSS noone would take on such a thing... You NEED WHOLE FOODS FROGER......... There is No Way WPI is going 2 fit dat bill..

Hi Touey, you're basing that on nothing. Quite literally, by definition, you are basing that on nothing.

 

[MusclesFrogs]

I know it is, but protein powder is real food. It's whey. And it is delivering protein.

 

[MusclesFrogs]

Love it when people use the word "sciency" - you're right, there's nothing "sciency" about the human body, and there's definitely no textbooks about the human body. Such valid points you've made. Hope next time you go to the doctor, you tell him not to be sciency when examining your body

 

[MusclesFrogs]

Hi Aleks, I know, would like to see if those additional factors, fat, calories, etc. actually have a significant difference in muscle growth.

What's wrong with my grammar? Lmao i misspelled the curses so they don't look like this *******

 

[MusclesFrogs]

Don't be offended, you should know that Mike is an insecure defensive numnut who, with the most sincere form of idiocy, lamely attacks anyone who shows him that he's in actuality, an idiot.

 

[machorox123]

Dude you are seriously retarted. This earth would be better off without you wasting valuable air

 

[Touey]

Hi Touey, you're basing that on nothing. Quite literally, by definition, you are basing that on nothing.

I know, actually maybe some will have a base for studying the comparison & who knows it shall turn up with wpi having for the better than wholefoods, but when I have too much whey for my personally I feel less from the benefit vs wholefoods...

 

[MusclesFrogs]

Whoooa, I don't know how to recover from your witticisms. They're far too clever for me

That's at least fair and rational - unlike some members on this thread.

 

[Rodja]

You're seriously questioning whether or not extra calories contribute to muscle growth!? What's next...questioning whether testosterone makes a significant difference?

 

[Jiigzz]

That is what he was saying in the other thread. I think he is under the illusion that protein alone dictates weight gain, at least this is how I interpreted it

 

[MusclesFrogs]

Yes, that is exactly what I am questioning. If there is not a scientific study proving it does, it would be irrational to not question it. Does that not make sense to you. And I am not talking about mass, I am talking about muscle mass. Obviously more calories will increase mass, but which.

Misinterpreted. Not discussing weight gain. Discussing muscle gain.

FFS, you're just a lost cause. There are an incalculable number of factors that play into the hypertrophic response beyond a specific macronutrient. It's irrational to not understand how mutlifaceted this equation is and that there will never be a definitive statement that will apply to everyone based on simple percentages and genetics. You first need to initiate an appropriate metabolic response before any hypertrophy can occur and, again, there will never be a universal approach to this. You then have to take into account genetic factors, lifestyle, age, work capacity, caloric intake, insulin responses, etc.. However, what you're essentially questioning is thermodynamics and those are proven laws of physics.

No it's not it processed food per digested for you.

You're wrong, you're just obfuscating the issue by misdirecting the intent. You can definitely do studies with a large enough sample group to account for variable that still shows a consistent value. And the averaged data will account for anomalies.

So are hot dogs, but those would be considered a real food.
