protien

[tammyp]

how much do you eat daily?

do you think many bbers over do it?

[Tatyana]

200 g of protein/day.

I think some consume far too much protein to the exclusion of other macronutrients.

[Jer]

200-300 depending on my other macros for the day.

Yes I think some way over do it.

[Voland]

180-230g prot/day (28-38g per meal. 0.75g-1,25g/lbs)
150-200g carbs/day (50-60g in carb meals. i do include fruit to hit those numbers, fuck fruit haters).
100g fats/day

Thats like 2700 cals or so.

A lot o people eat soooo much protein, beliving they will build more muscle. They build up more fat and punish their kidneys, liver and pancreas.

Same for carbs, massive amouts of carbs, are not bad, but twice as much carbs DO NOT mean twice as much fuel.

Fats, people neglect fats (except those on keto diets, who neglect carbs). Good fats are called that way cos they are good.

In gereal those skinny people hitting 5k/day are getting the same results as if they ate 3k/day.

I'm eating 2.6g per kg of body weight (55kg). It's a high percentage of my macros, my fat is high also, low carbs. I'd say I'm carb "sensative", lol. It's working in terms of steady fat loss, and maintenance+ LBM. I make minor tweaks weekly based on my bodycomp.

[Kolbe]

180-200g pr day

[fits]

allot of people go for more is better in everythign these days.

Some people still sugest 20 to 30g per sitting is eough.

I think its all relative to how much fat/carbs you take in, weights, lea mass.

As a rule I would say most bbers take more than is needed, but then again I guess you would rather too much than not enough.

[AlonePowers]

300 grams daily during pre-contest for a Lightweight BB

[Allifit]

I usually get around 180 or grams of protein per day....

[Lee Penman]

Yikes...I think, on reading this, I am protein deprived (lol!). I must get around 130g/day!
Better get more ISOLYZE!!!

[NTT91]

300-320 grams at a weight of 165 and a caloric intake of 3500-4000 per day

[BigJD69]

Not as much as I should be eating.

[Youngguns]

300 grams, I'm 165-170 pretty lean. (Dieting) Bulking it's 250.

[Suzy Brown]

WOW Isn't the rule a half gram per lb of body weight? I thought at 125lbs I was high at 90-120g a day...

[Youngguns]

WOW Isn't the rule a half gram per lb of body weight? I thought at 125lbs I was high at 90-120g a day...

Seriously? so 90x4=360 calories.

A basic measurement of basal caloric needs would be about 15cal x 125lbs= 1875cals per day. 1875-360= 1515, that mean you need at least 250g carbs, and over 50 grams of fat to meet those needs.


That's a lot of carbs and fat for someone your size...
