Question on protein requirements

[ThreeSixFive]

If you need some cheap extra protein, sardines are a good way to get it. Also jam packed with micronutrients, along with omega-3s.

I usually get around 150-250. It really depends on the day, what I decided to eat, etc.

On a budget it's tough to eat over 250 grams of protein daily... if you want to do it with non-garbage foods.

We(Celtic Labs/Pure oils) just became a sponsor so our reps are trying to get post count up to post in the sponsor forum, without blatantly spamming. I've had this account for a year and made my first post like 3 days ago.

As for protein, powder wise there is a deal for like $87 for a 10lb of dymatize whey. It's my go to for cheap quick extra protein. My diet has been slacking for like a year, but when i get back on it, it will be the usual staples, tuna/salmon/chicken/greek yogurt.

Sardines? Prison time?

More power to you! I tried sardines once... but never again. Couldn't stand the taste and literally threw up. Wish I could eat them because they are cheap and healthy, but the fishy taste was just too much.

Many studies have shown that .82 grams per lb is all you need and any more will not increase muscle gain. .82 also has a buffer in it to make sure your staying in a positive nitrogen balance. .65 I believe was the actual number studied. Protein needs are drastically over estimated and part of that comes from the supplement companies.

Those numbers are for lean body mass. 1.2g per lean mass for athletes.

A good rule of thumb is 1g per pound would be sufficient. And in the end comes closer to the lean muscle mass number; give or take couple g of protein. Since you are assisted, taking more would be beneficial. Just my .02 pennies.

1-1.5 per lb is enough to get the max benefits of muscle growth.

I thinks proteins are alternative of all the diet foods that you eat and that play many critical roles in the body. And proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids.

what shake you use,.?
