233grams of Protein in a Subway sandwhich?

This has got to be a typo? http://www.chowbaby.com/10_2000/fast...itFLAG=ItemLVL

What do you think? I think it is because it seems to good to be true. I am guessing they accidently added that 3 and it is 23 grams.

[kevin_titus]

yah...more like 19-20g of protien. A sub sandwich will more than likely have about 200-240cals....I use to have a nutrition pamplet for subway....now I hit the deli and make my own.

How much protein of that would you be able to digest in one hit anyways...

[magnetnerd]

About 50g

[Dragon111]

Is that scientifically accurate? So there's no point in having a shake that has over 50 grams all at once?

that all depends...i've had meals that are 80g+ and i'm fine. it all depends on your body. and you could also make your body adapt to consuming larger ammounts of protein in one sit by gradually increasing your intake say...week by week.

[FatAlbert]

Yeah, I have just found this place called pollo tropical, I eat it about 3-4 times adays. I usually eat about 40-80grams of protein in my sitting. Good stuff.

I am probably eating about 160-180 aday, now.

You mention that you are 'fine'? What would happen if you eat more protein than you can in one sitting?

[armz_ha]

I used to eat subway sandwiches for lunch during bulking but figured its not a good idea because although it has some protein for musclebuilding, it has way too many carbs. Quite frankly, not even the foolongs made me full. I always end up eating 2 or 3 footlongs and gained more fat than I wanted in a bulk. That gives me about 2000 calories alone in one sitting, lol. I figured I am better off preparing my own foods in which I can throw in more protein which makes me fuller faster without all the unneeded calories.

[triplewhammy]

oh my goodness, you can eat more than a footlong at once?! Talk about friggin' stomach elasticity!!!

I have always read that anything over 60 grams consumed at one time will just end up in your waste. I eat 8 meals a day so I have no problem staying under the max.

There's no magic number of how much protein you can eat in one serving.

read my post, just scroll up a bit.

[FatAlbert]

So how much should we take in during the period of one day? Is taking in over 160 a waste?

[TheWickerMan004]

i take in 350g a day...now answer your own question.

[FatAlbert]

Good lord, I think I will stick with my 200-250g, I eat enough protein there to throw up.

BTW guys, do you think I will see any gains from eating that much? I was only eating about 50-70g perday during the school year, however, I found that it was to low and now I am eating that much. I was eating that much and didn't see any gains at all.

So far, my weight loss was something like this UP until now:

I am now 8% bf, but how does that go down, and me not gain any weight, I am just frustrated to tell you all the truth Bench went from 60 in september to 130 now adays though ;_)

[TheWickerMan004]

gains doesn't pertain to just protein alone. its all about eating way more calories than you burn off...but of the right nutrients of course.
