I found I can tolerate 200-225 grams fine and feel comfortable. Anymore and I get bloated. Weigh around 185lbs now.
Fiber is key as well, add lots of greens and broccoli to your meals. I was even thinking of supplementing with some fiber to make sure I'm getting enough.
100-150 but I have noticed greater improvements since I increased my fats. Yes protein is necessary but not in the crazy amounts some people think they have to ingest. Highly recommend increasing healthy fats for more muscle thickness/fullness.
The source makes all difference to me.
From eggs, whey or processed meat? No way...
High quality and varied seafood? Probably could hit 500g with no problems. Heck, if I was rich I'd probably eat 5kg of king crab and lobster every day.
This is actually good advice, water dilutes stomach acid concentrations and carbs lower the ph of the acids as your body tries for a more alkaline stomach solution with carbs.If you want to eat and digest more protein for faster gains without the digestive problems do these things.
No you don't want "lots of water" with meals. The less liquid taken with protein meals the better because you want your stomach acid as concentrated as possible.
Never eat concentrated protein with starches, fruit, etc., only fibrous carbs and fats. And always take HCl with pepsin, as much as you can tolerate.
Do this for the next eight weeks and watch what happens.
What do you guys mean you feel like crap when eating high amounts of protein? I am a week and a half out and my protein is at 400 grams per day. I eat 6 times a day so I eat 66 grams per meal (10 oz of chicken, 10 oz of frozen tilipia, egg whites, and whey protein). My carbs are at 410 grams per day and fats at 30 and I feel perfectly fine (digestion and energy) eating these high amounts of protein. I understand everyone is different as far as size, age, experience, knowledge, and overall health but If you're not feeling good eating high amounts of protein, you need to train harder and utilize the extra calories you're taking in, decrease the amount of carbs and/or fats with the high protein consumption, increase fiber and other micro nutrients, slowly build up your calories and not add a whole lot of extra food at one time, stay consistent with the amount of food you take in, and/or just eat cleaner.
Ha ha ha ha, are you surprised? I've been soapboxing this truth for years.This is actually good advice, water dilutes stomach acid concentrations and carbs lower the ph of the acids as your body tries for a more alkaline stomach solution with carbs.
A lot of pros do the water in between meals thing, especially when dieting.

what do you mean by fibrous carbs? I wanna give this a shot
Leafy greens, cruciferous veggies, etc.
Stay away from potatoes, grains, legumes, beans, cereal grains, breads, etc. if you're eating a lot of protein in a meal. Meat, eggs, fish, whatever will digest much easier and more completely if starch is absent.
