how much protein is too much protein for weight lifting. just wondering cuz everytime i buy a protein there is always a different amount of grams in one scoop and they always have different serving sizes (ex. 1 scoop or 2 or 3) how many grams should I be takin aftyer i work out. my last protein shake was only 22g a scoop, that dosent seem like enough to me. am I wrong?

You're not wrong. Try to consume 1g of protein/lb of bodyweight everday. A shake should have maybe >50 g if you're drinking it post workout, and not eating anything else.

my post workout shake is approx 24g of whey protein and 45g of dextrose.

eat 6 times a day. 1g of protein per lb of lean mass is a good place to start, but you might even wanna bump to 1.25g especialy when bulking.

so if you had 180lbs of lean mass, that's 180g a day, divided over 6 meals...you should get about 30g of protein at every meal, PWO included.

so me weighing 160 lbs i should take 160g of protein in one day. divided by 6 I should have roughly 26 or 27g of protein every meal? what if I took more protein during one meal, say maybe 35g of protein would that make up if I had something to eat without that much protein?

bigred,

I said LEAN mass. You weigh 160lbs, but what's your bodyfat?

pretend its 10%. that means 10% of 160 is pure fat...or 16lbs. 160 - 16 = 144lbs.

so 144g of protein a day would be your goal.

As to your question, you want protein to be pretty even at each meal, but if you're a few grams short one meal, then its acceptable to up another meal or two to make up the difference.

well i cant remember my body fat last time i checked and that was at the doctors. is there anyway i can check it now without goin to the doctors, i no there are some online claculators and what not but i dont believe those are too accurate, are they?

My PWO is like 45g protein (30 for whey, 16 from milk) and 90g carbs. It does the job.

I thought you body could only take in like 30 grams of protein at a time and the rest you just pee out?

I haven't seen any research showing that.

depends on the person, but i always take down bout 40gs per sitting, betteer more than not enough

Damnit, I've been burning my money...

Or drinking it, rather, at an excessively fast ****ing pace.

That's a myth that has yet to be proven by scientists.

If that were the case, everyone could eat 10,000 calories of protein a day and never get fat cuz they'd just expel the extra.

the reality is ANY surplus of calories from any macro can be stored as fat. some macros are more likely to store as fat than others, but protein can be converted into fat storage.

christ that's alot of sugar!!... if you're doing that several times a day..


the thing with high protein intake iis that it mainly depends your fluid intake and on what else youre eating!... even over what exercise youre doing..
If you do it right and incorporate PH balance, you can get the same effect as steriods in terms of massively excelerated HGRH production but without the
liver/renal/heart drama aand without needing to have a small .... er package than you might otherwise and no violent side effects..


I wiill come back later and explain exactly what I mean.. but how mAny times are doing that PWO and what else aare you eating???...??

I don't need you to explain anything to me pal. Reread it!!!

PWO=post workout!!!

That's the only time I have that shake.

Just how experienced and knowledgable are you? You don't sound very much of either.

Is that in a shake? or a meal?
If its a shake then its not considered a protien powder but a weight gainer.


Hey man, this is a friendly place. Your a good guy and I respect you more than to mess with ur post, but maybe you could edit it, or apologize.
