How do you get all your protein?

[yodenody]

Hey y'all, still bumping around trying to figure out nutrition and such things, so you know that one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight? Well, I weigh 217 right now. If you were to go for lean body mass, that would be about 185.

So... How the heck can I ingest (at minimum) 185 grams of protein, if you can only handle a max of 20 grams per meal, over 7 meals?

Im beginning to come to the conclusion that I can't make my protein requirements, based on the articles I have read here...

That's false information.

The bolded is a complete myth. You can eat all 185g in one meal and it will be digested and absorbed.

Start by reading the stickies to calculate your daily macro/cal needs. Then fill those needs with food you enjoy WITHOUT worrying about meal timing.

That's total nonsense.

By the way, I often eat about 185 grams of protein in one meal. It's called a big ribeye steak. Yummy.

Make sure you read the "stickies" - those are the threads stuck at the top of the forum. The articles on the main page are a bit of a gamble . Just curious, what site did you migrate over from?

Sheesh, it's hard enough for me to get my body weight in protein, and I need around 137g a day. I've started baking with my protein powder though, which really helps me out.

i tried a an offseason with less protein and more carbs, but my body seemed to no react well to that...got puffy n soft....so i upped the protein, and started to carb cycle. made a BIGGGG difference. my fat intake is pretty solid. 135-185g per day (depending on my carb intake of that day).

What? On my work out days I take in 3000~ calories and I cannot eat more than 2 primarily protein sources. For example today's macros: (P/F/C)

Pre WO:
Cottage Cheese + FF strawberry yogurt + Banana = 52/5/61

Post WO:
Proats made with 1 scoop XF LCP, 400ml 2% milk, 80g oats, 3 whole eggs: 62/41/72

Then I binge on carbs like no tomorrow and I still end up with 157/71/432

Not to attack your macro choices but I'd argue when consuming 500g+ protein the greatly skewed TEF would result in significantly less calories available for metabolism. I've actually started calorie/carb cycling myself recently and have found there's definitely benefits in terms of keeping my appetite/sanity in check. Guess some of us need structured periods of over/under feeding to feel normal :P

So you basically live in the kitchen? :P

lol, if this were true, then anyone that has ever eaten at a steakhouse would be fat as hell...

I think 20g of protein from a steak is about 3 ounces or so...

Do places even serve 3 ounces of steak?

[MAX.MAREK]

So you basically live in the kitchen? :P

nope. i cook plenty for 3-4days at a time (in proteins, except eggs). weigh n go! prep food for the day (minus breakfast, cause i make that each morning), takes 20-30min. easy. i have a good system.

nah man. i hear it all the time. no biggy it just works for me. maybe not for many others, but it does for me. bold is VERY true. for me, a 4500 cal day is pretty easy, but when i do a 5300+ day, it becomes HARD WORK. but i look and feel better the next day. i try to tell some ppl to do that in their offseason at times, so that they can keep their bodyfat in check, and hold a decent condition till they start prepping for a contest again.
