I weigh 150 pounds; is around 120g of protein a day enough?

[blake2207]

Like if I am wanting to pack on the pounds is that enough? Or should I be taking in more protein?

[buddy72192]

No, a minimum should be 150 grams, I'd suggest around 180

[Slyy]

i would go for at least you're bodyweight/day in protein

[EinMassengrab.]

will you still get results? yeah. could you get even better results if you took 150g/day? yeah.

[GorillaGenetics]

protein is not gonna "pack on the pounds" that much if your not eating enough cals/carbs

I eat plenty of carbs I don't have to worry about that.



Well I'm taking in about 73g of protein from whey but I'm not too sure as far as food goes although I eat massive lunches and dinners.

[Atheimetal]

You can go 150g or a little more as long as you are drinking plenty of water and warranting the extra calories from protein by doing good physical activity.

[Delgadido]

suggest 200.

[Ascendancy]

I aim for 1.5 grams of protein per pound a day.

[far3]

1.5g/lb is a good bet.

[bbh90]

to pack on the pounds you need to be getting about 1.5 grams per pound of body weight and need about 3-4 carbs per pound of body weight in carbs on top of that you need some good fats like peanut butter

make sure all the sources are good sources as well complex carbs mainly then quality protien and good fats

when your bulking your literally have to eat to the point where your uncomfortable

[Oratos]

If ur bulking.. 1.5g of pro for every pound u weigh. if ur just lifting whether its cut or jsut what ever. then i recomand 0.8g

[mcool]

About 1.5g/lb is good.

[Ryall]

will you still get results? yeah. could you get even better results if you took 150g/day? yeah.

I agree with this guy.

You'll get good results (if you're eating enough to begin with) with 120g. 150g would probably be more beneficial, and 180 would be optimal.

I personally think the 1g/lb thing is a bit overrated. I'm making gains on like .8g/lb right now.

[ukballer]

About 1.5g/lb is good.

definitely

[bigguy19]

If ur bulking.. 1.5g of pro for every pound u weigh. if ur just lifting whether its cut or jsut what ever. then i recomand 0.8g

so why decrease protein intake on a cut? IMO, it should stay about the same, you need to preserve muscle tissue as well as you can

Well said , you dont neeed that much protein , 100g per day will do enough , what you need is med protein , low fat, high carb diet. Dont listen to these fools saying you have to take protein more than or equal your body weight. extra protein is harmful for your brain , if you dont believe me take a nutrition course at university ( thats what i have taken) or do some research on N-cycle and the by products.extra protein will convert to energy too.So unless you have too much money and wanna hurt your brain then be my guest take 500g protein a day. I even seen a Jay catlor's clip , he said he was taking around 280-300g protein ( please dont compare yourself to him , he is pro , on **** load of steroids and etx)
