Strong swole manlet presence in this thread.

BRB not eating carbs, gotta be able to lose weight

[Delirium1337]

well OP thats sad but true...big companies brainwashed us into thinking we need it.. so they can profit because we will go buy whey etc.

in reality - you dont need it

[ezra76]

What? I eat 3800 calories on workout days, and 3500 on off days. I end up with 700-800 calories from protein on most days. I probably don't need that much, but when you eat close to 4000 calories a day, you end up eating alot of protein.

So this thread is pointless. You start this whole arguement but are still eating over double what is "necessary".

you dont need protein?

What am I supposed, to do, intentionally avoid foods I like because they have protein in them? I'm still only getting ~20% of cals from protein, and I don't go crazy over how much protein is in my food. The amount of protein I eat relative to my calorie intake is nothing compared to what people on this site think they need.

lol, you could have at least quoted waffleiron out of respect for his compendium of research on the subject.

[Shangius]

I take my shake to the gym because I live 30 minutes away from it. U mad breh?

Layne Norton states that a PWO shake is best taken 45 minutes after a workout and is better absorbed in that time frame

U mad?

I was gonna copy the whole post, but his quotes wouldn't show up when I tried.

[ricbig]

I can back my statements up in the form of scientific research and studies which conclude that protein intake in excess of 1.3 g/kg bw has no effect on muscle growth. All that you have is broscience crap from celltech users who would be gaining mass no matter what they did.

so wizard plz tell me how much a person should be needing for their protein intake

[Rasc170]

lmao @ people talking **** for me being 173 lbs, I'm bigger than 90% of the misc, and I'm not even a bodybuilder, and I'm natural.

And even if I was 120 lbs, if I can back up what I'm saying it doesnt matter.

age:19
date started lifting: 1991

you do the math

[Dymethazine]

BRB tracking exact amount of protein, carbs and fat and not eating any veggies or fruit.

[82nd_Fister]

Brb eating a whole roast chicken for dinner.

[Rasc170]

Brb cant ejaculate, dont wanna drop my test levels

i've read studies that show getting an erection and busting a nut will actually increase T

[Goose102]

brb, wait... **** this thread. i'm not coming back

[chaser1712]

Damn Son!

[droogle]

brb need 2g protein/lb

[secretlifter3]

brb getting jacked and never eating food or drinking anything




















































wat

[NOMNOMNONOM]

But....I really do take my shake to the gym .

I live almost 30 minutes away. Though it might not make or break a work out to have it in that 30 minutes, I'd rather receive what little benefit there might be in drinking it immediately PWO (plus, it tastes fukking great and quenches my thirst; win win win)

[Xyus_Quebec]

Proteins are way overrated. Surely they are necessary for building muscle and recovery, still i weight 226-227 lbs and i don't consume more than 210 g of proteins daily.

[Gordon Bombay]

"the weight of current evidence suggests that strength or speed athletes should consume about 1.2-1.7 g protein/kg body weight."

So 125-175g of protein for the average male.

i dont do bb bench u mad?
since when is a 405 squat and 500 dl strong? pls go

not sure if serious

[DemonDanny]

OP, so how much Protein you intake in a day?

[DonMegaR]

brb eating 1.5g per lb of lbm a day and getting just fat because I take the workout advice for people on steroids

[LegosInMyEgos]

The average person isn't 200 lbs

OP, so how much Protein you intake in a day?

I don't count, but probably 175-200 grams a day. I don't go out of my way to get that much, its just in the food I eat.

[NorwegianBadass]

brb 500 grams of a protein a day
brb 80% of my protein intake is turned in glucose because I don't need it
brb getting kidney stones when I get older
brb spending an extra $5 on protein( which adds up to like $1800 a year) because I think I need it
brb taking my protein shake to the gym because every second I wait to have my protein shake postworkout I lose 4% of my gains and go catabolic.

LOL

Can you also turn fat into muscles?

[2.0Tsunami]

I eat 2 meals a day of nearly all protein/fats now days.

And I look like this:


6'4 255lbs @ 10% or below bf, natural, and strong and fast as ****.




Just sayin.

Carbs are for weaklings, with ****y genetics.

lol, you look like the blond version of my neighbor. He's got red hair and is about your size and plays semi pro rugby. Fast as hell too.

Does Layne Norton spout broscience?

[LegosInMyEgos]

LOL

Lol what? I think you've got your broscience wrong buddy.

Your body can't store protein so if your body has no use for it when you take it in, the nitrogen is removed and it goes through a process to be turned into glucose assuming your not in caloric excess, in which case it would be stored as fat beyond the point you needed it.

I don't know if you're kidding or not, I hope you are.
