Seems that everyone I know who is either a nutritionist or studying nutrition says that even 1gram per pound is way too much protein.
Seems they are all about the carbs and that 60/20/20 is ideal
Currently I am eating 3500 calories at 40/40/20 and this is a disgusting diet according to any nutrionist I speak with...I dont get it
Yet when you speak with a bodybuilder...steroid user or not, they will tell you more in the likes of 1.5-2grams per weight
Show them this: http://forums.anabolicreview.com/sho...d.php?t=135784
Then tell them to STFU nicely :)...
yeah what my b!tch said :DQuote:

The average person, even those who are 2 day a week lifters, will be fine way below 1 gram per pound, but if putting on weight is your goal, protein is key. One of the myths behind this that I have heard is that more then 1 gram per pound will lead to fat gains. But the thing that doesn't make any sense with that is if a person is going to eat a set amount of calories (lets say 3000) if you have a little more protein then carbohydrates its not gonna make a huge difference. There are still 4 calories per gram of protein and there are still 4 calories per gram of carbs as well.Quote:
