ljk11 Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Thank you - I have a bit of an obsession with food. (Can you tell?!) I am very detail oriented about most things in life and am working on learning to relax and let go about a lot of things many people wouldn't even think twice about.

ljk11 Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 THanks and nice to see you here.But honestly, 2 g of protein per lb of bodyweight seems excessive to me.It becomes an expensive form of carbohydrate...I sure can't see myself eating 240 g of protein a day. That would be 960 cals from protein.Considering I eat about 1500 (approx.) per day...that leaves 600 cals for fat and carbs ... I would say 2 g / lb of protein for most is not warranted...

offense74 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I don't like to eat too much soy either. I feel a whole lot better when I use pea protein, it's much easier on the digestive system (at least to me).I assume you live in Scandinavia? In that case you can't buy it in a store, as far as I know. I buy 5kg buckets from:Nutrisport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 if i had to eat 2g per lb of bodyweight of protein a day, id be eating nearly 500g! i have found little to support the notion that you need that much. i do think though that eating too little protein can affect how much mass you gain. i do not think though that it affects strength. i have made equally good gains in strength on either 100g or 250g of protein a day. i just dont gain mass as well. IMO 1g per pound of bodyweight is more than enough. i usually dont have that much myself. ordinarily id maybe get 175-225g a day at 235lb bodyweight. jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
