TeejayBee Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 yeah and i also figured if your lifting and working out it just eats up all the protein anyway , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LT.Smoke Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Here Teejay use this formula that i use 1. Weight in pounds divided by 2.2 = weight in kg 2. Weight in kg x 0.8-1.8 gm/kg = protein gm. Just an fyi im 215 lbs and i take in 95 grams per day on pt 2 of the equation use a lower number if you are healthy .. if your in good shape than do it at .8 if you arent then go a lil higher up to 1.8 as a max Quote Team MaxRetribution Si Vis Pacem Parabellum Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 Bowhunting- Life Begins and Ends at Full Draw Bowhunting Team Fatal Trajectory Hunt Team http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/49335-sick96vtecaccords-t-line-build/?hl=sick96vtecaccord << Accord Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/68498-smokedout08impalas-tline-build/?hl=+sick96vtecaccord << Impala T-line build Rebassed.com for all your music needs 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT.Smoke Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 x2 on what Swaggasaur said... It wont hurt you but your body is only going to absorb so much of that protein you ingest per day so whatever excess you ingest is pretty much going to go to waste I dont know about you but with the price of protein powders now a days i cant afford to waste shit lol Quote Team MaxRetribution Si Vis Pacem Parabellum Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 Bowhunting- Life Begins and Ends at Full Draw Bowhunting Team Fatal Trajectory Hunt Team http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/49335-sick96vtecaccords-t-line-build/?hl=sick96vtecaccord << Accord Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/68498-smokedout08impalas-tline-build/?hl=+sick96vtecaccord << Impala T-line build Rebassed.com for all your music needs 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeejayBee Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 yeah well i used that formula says i should do 50g lol but i figure i lift twice a day for 1-2 hours each but im starting a new protein today which dosnt have as much protein as which the one ive been using does, but if i lift a day and dont take protein i can tell it because i shake alot lol, so its kinda a bad thing if i dont take my protein, but thanks guys, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautical7 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) x2 on what Swaggasaur said...

Your body can only absorb so much and the rest will just go straight through you, which is a waste. That is why you need to plan your protein shake (assuming that's what you're taking) consumption, or you'll notice it's coming right back out of you within the hour. Edit: And lifting twice a day won't help you gain as fast as if you rest, your muscles will never fully recover doing so.

finkster Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 There's some studies that say your body cant absorb more than 50g of protein at a time, but there's other studies that say otherwise. I don't really like how full I feel after eating that much at a time anyways. Same with other vitamins and stuff, thats why the percentages on the label are rated crazy high, so there's a higher chance of absorption. I weigh 184 and dont even eat 200g of protein a day, and I'm still gaining muscle. Not saying that more wouldn't help, but counting calories has worked for me thus far. Ill start counting macros when I get stuck. As for whether its good for you, the kidneys are what you need to be worried about. Just drink plenty of water. But I still wouldnt worry. There's many bodybuilders who only have one kidney and still consume protein as normal.
