I just started training again 4 weeks ago after a few years of no training at all. I am currently taking about 100 grams of protein powder per day, along with usually a lunch and dinner with regular food protein. I am too low on my daily protein powder? Thanks!

None. I just eat food.Originally Posted by NJ77

I'm over 30, and I take in about 40 or 60 grams of protein in powder form per day, depending on my other whole foods, as a supplement. My diet is generally high fat, high protein, low or very low carbs. That's just what works for me.
I recently bought a 5 pound bucket of Dymatize Elite Gourmet in milk chocolate for cheap at my local Better Health store. In fact, just this morning, I experimented shaking it with about 6 ounces of cooled coffee, a couple of ice cubes and about two tablespoons of heavy cream. It's a real treat for me.

100grams of powder or 100grams of protein? For example, a scoop of standard ON protein powder is 32g containing 24g of protein.Originally Posted by NJ77
I do anywhere from 3-5 scoops a day, About 72-120g protein. I think 100g of protein a day from powder is a good supplement to diet.Tony

Remember protein powder is a supplement
What you need to look at is getting 1 to 1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight (here we go again)
Track your protein intake during the day from reg. food
It seems that you are not taking much in with what you listed.
What do you currently weigh and what do yo want to weigh?
lets say you are getting 50 grams each with lunch and dinner and you are getting 100 grams in with the powders daily and you want to be at 200 lbs you are at your bare min. (my HAO)
add a protein for breakfast (with carbs and fats) and as a fourth meal on top of what you are doing and I think you will be there

I take as much as I need to get the job done. I use it to fill in when I can't or won't eat enough real food or can't get the right fit with my macros. Some days it's forty or fifty grams, some days it is 100 grams. There is no hard fast rule. Depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

I only eat two meals per day (breakfast and dinner). I make time for breakfast by sleeping less. Same with dinner if necessary.Originally Posted by Vaudeville

I only use protein powder when I don't get everything I need from natural food. If my macro's are off, I SUPPLEMENT with shakes as needed.

What is your daily requirement of protein in grams? How much of that total are you currently getting from regular meals? Can't answer your question without more information.Originally Posted by NJ77
Speaking for myself, usually none. Once in a while I'll add a couple of scoops to a bowl of oatmeal if I don't feel like cooking some eggs to go with it, but that's about it for me.how much protein powder per day are the over-35 guys here taking?
As an aside, I just hope you're buying all that powder from BB.com; you'll be helping to keep the lights on here for the rest of us.Last edited by ironwill2008; 05-29-2011 at 12:57 PM.

I'll do 25g WPI first thing when I wake up, and 25g WPI before and after workout. On non-workout days I'll have 25g when I get home from work. So for me it's 75g on workout days, 50g on non-workout/cardio days. Always mixed with 1% milk.
Looking to reach my full pump-tential!
Lift long and prosper...

I currently take Protein powder before/after my workouts, and one at work. It's a great way of getting my daily protein in.
Natural is the way to be!
