How do you compute your daily protein intake?

[Mike Conley]

Ya know I will admit it was a trial and error thing for me. I tried the multiplying by LBM and then manipulated it. I am around 190 pounds and currently take in about 230-250 g a day and I am cutting so I think it's whatever works for that particular person.

This is an exact science. Never vary, never experiment. The mirror lies.

Computing your protein Net Uptake Factor Factoid (NUFF):

LBM X rolls of Charmin used in a week

divide by 7

X a factor A. .87576 for real food sourced protein (.78843 if fried) B. .66660 if soy based C. .87222 if whey sourced (.9765 if whey is infrahydozelized)

= one NUFF

X .85 then add 1gm. per protein Net Uptake Factor Factoid

Would those be regular rolls or the big rolls? For women it should be LBM X (rolls of Charmin - 10).

You know.....Baldie....This was serious stuff here....Repeat: WAS! Trying to go beyond the Brohism and you reduce it to POOPOO! I think some marrow broke loose and entered your blood stream, lol.

That's it.....egg him on....like he NEEDS encouragement?

Getting serious (ouch) I do not compute my daily protein intake. I strive for 300 grams per day (any source) and most often fail until crunch time...90 days out from comp. then its force feed time.

I am embarrassed at my lbm amount, so I try to eat protein based on my total weight!

Interesting replies....I have done the ultra high protein stuff (my highest was 375gms/day.....back when I competed).....never did the low protein intake. I love protein...dont think I have ever gone below 35% of my total caloric intake. I like the 1.5gm/lb of lean calculation.

Right now my days are like this:

Off day's, Low day Training - 285gms P, 100gm C, 40gm F

High carb day day - 255gm P, 225gm C, 35gm F

I am sitting about 212 with some decent definition (veins in abs but who the F knows what bodyfat %). I do the HRT thing....but only do 100mg of Cyp / week per Dr orders...no desire to compete again, so not really going to go on ultra high doses (although I am breaking out like a mo-fo for some damn reason)

You definately look like you could compete in a minute! Great mass. Glad you are back.

Thanks....good to be back. I forgot to mention this in the above, but my Dr said that the breaking out was possibly due to too much protein. Ummm...that is something I have NEVER heard of. Even when doing 375gm/day as a natural I never broke out like this. In any event, I take in about 35 - 45gm per meal....upon waking I always have 1scp of protein before walking dogs and getting my ass on stair stepper.
