Protein consumption whilst cycling

**ozzie** · 05-29-2005, 08:18 PM

Ive alway's read that the body can assimilate roughly 30g of protein every 2-3 hrs and that taking steroids increases your nitrogen retention thus enabling your body to assimilate more protein. So what would be a good figure to increase your protein consumption by? I know this would depend upon dosages of steroid and which one's used but just a rough idea. Cheers

i think it's more than 30grams... that sounds kinda low... might b more in the neighborhood of 50-60 grams....

It really depends on how much you weigh. Obviously a person weighing 250 pounds can consume more protein at one sitting than a person only weighing 150 pounds.

I aim for 2g protein per 1lbs of body mass

For me that equates to approx 400g of protein

I eat 8 meals per day

Each of my meals contains 50g protein

Try to eat 2g protein per 1lbs of body mass

its body weight dependent and i usually do 2g Per lb of lean mass but when running higher amounts of AAS which can increase protein synthesis i would up it by 10-20%

i think your math is off... 2g at 197 is 394g...

For the record:

Are we talking about lean body mass?

I know i wasn't

Wish i f*cking was 225lbs!

I meant total body mass

Which is correct?

2lbs per lb of lean body mass, fat doesnt feed... muscle does!

i like to get about 550g Pro ED

I like your reasoning!

Pretty obvious when you put it like that

On that basis i'd need just over 300g

So taking 400g ain't no bad thing

Thanks for the explination bro

well depending on what AAS ur runing and ur macronutritional ratio's i would say go over by 10-25% shud be ok as long as as the rest of your diet is in tact to work w/ the increase pro. like EQ is suppose to have a HIGH increase on pro.synth. but thats just what i have heard .. somewhere around 20+% so eh.. logic says you can take in more than 2g Per lean lb

**topvega** · 05-29-2005, 10:53 PM

i don't think going over wld b a problem right? excess protien wld b in your piss.

i just thought that unless u were like 100 lbs soaking wet, 30g per meal is a little low.

**taiboxa** · 05-29-2005, 10:54 PM

no excess protein would cause massively evil gass, problems w/ your gut and kidneys, its very toxic, and it would be stored as fat

if you smell like amonia when you sweat... have bad gass like death... or stomache pains or bloating reduce protein gradually every few days until that evil shyt subsides... then start upping it slowly and try to find your opt intake.

**topvega** · 05-29-2005, 11:03 PM

if i smell like amonia when i sweat won't i attract the ladies.???

actually i upped my carbs and my crap has become a bit more brittle...

**fballhoss51** · 05-29-2005, 11:31 PM

i asked a question about tha amount of protein u can take in every 2-3 hours and i beleive swolecat (maybe im wrong mayve been another moderator) told me that there is no proof of this

**topvega** · 05-29-2005, 11:50 PM

everything i hve read says protein intake is based on your lean body mass times 1.5 or 2.. per day... just wondering how much protein u can take in at one sitting... i have read 50/60 grams.. but it probably also is different for every individual...
