Protien, /fit/

When is the best time to consume it? Before, during, or after your exercise? And how far before/after?

So what? The body wastes over half of milk anyway. Milk has Whey and Casein

According to researchers performance athletes consume 1g per lbs of body weight (200g if you weight 200 lbs) to see beneficial results.

Keep in mind most people don't even reach half of that goal as they don't need it.

It depends how much you weigh. Personally, I think the 1 gram per pound of body weight is a ploy by the fitness companies. I don't drink any but I wouldn't drink more than one a day

There's no evidence that protien causes kidney dysfunction in healthy individuals regardless of what fuck nuts up there might be trolling. Keep properly hydrated and you won't have a problem. You will have a problem building lean mass or strength if you don't get enough protien though. 1.5-2.0 grams per pound of body weight is fine for most people; but make sure to drink enough water.

Where on Earth are they going to get that kind of daily protein supply? Even for a 130 lb. hardgainer, that's over 200 grams a day, or 800 calories from protein alone. Divide it up for 5 meals a day and its still almost impossible to maintain

How true is this 1g+ - every pound of bodyweight rule?
At the moment I'm struggling to eat that much food, and I only weigh 140pounds. I just feel full and don't get hungry often.

Not impossible if you go for meal replacement powders like Myoplex, but yeah I'd say it's excessive as well.

Of course Myoplex suggests you have their shake 3 times a day in between meals, which it's 42g of protein per serving, but that's also expensive and not that enjoyable. And that's where a lot of people fail with eating habits, go to extremes like that and then quit when they get tire of it.

I'd say some people need to read clearly it's 2.0 grams per KG not lbs. Although pro-bodybuilders take alot more.

>Protein recommendations for resistance and strength-trained athletes are 1.6 to 1.7 g/kg bodyweight per day. It has been recommended that experienced male bodybuilders and strength athletes consume 1.6 to 1.7 g/kg bodyweight per day to allow for the accumulation and maintenance of lean tissue.

Athletes should be aware that increasing protein intake beyond the recommended levels is unlikely to result in increases in lean tissue because there is a limit to the rate at which protein tissue can be accrued."

I put away 250 grams a day. I admit it can be a chore but it *is* manageable if you plan out your meals and log your food conscientiously. Also; low carb high protien diet. Those calories have to come from somewhere and if you aren't filling up on bread you'll find eating meat a lot easier.

example given:

40 grams of whey in the morning before cardio
2 cans of tuna at lunch that's another 50 grams or so. (we're almost half way there...)
2 8oz chicken breasts; 120 grams easy;

There's 210 grams right there; and there's easily 2 meals left.

Yeah, I think the part that doesn't make sense to people is that all that food seems counterintuitive to their primary goal (which is losing weight.) But if you're doing weight training or even cardio you need the protein to restock your glycogen levels so you don't catabolize your bodies natural protein stores (your muscles.)

It's 1g of protein per KG of body weight, with some benefit in having double this amount ~1g/lb.
