For Those Who Weigh 225lb and Up

**BluEyedClubr** · 10-28-2003, 04:31 PM

I'm currently @ 235lb and I find it VERY difficult to keep my protein intake high enough (around 1.5g per lb bodyweight) on a daily basis.

That's def one of the downsides to bein on the upper weight scale - I want to eventually hit @ 260-270 lb but it's def hard gainin the mass...

I wanted to hear some of your guys tips on gettin enough protein in when you weigh up there @ 250lb...

Do you guys do it with a lot of protein bars and shakes or mostly whole food? I do a mixture of both - try to do more whole when I can but it's tough...

Thanks!

I knew I was gonna get asked that...

Last spring I did a cycle...

Decca 300 - wks 1-10
T 400 - wks 1-10
Winny - ED 50mg - 20 days (something happened with 2nd bottle - dont ask)
Of course post therapy too was done

I was originally @ 223 - Blew up @ 245 - back down to @ 235 now.... kept some

Right now I can't do it because of my job but I'd like to again in the future as soon as I am able to again - prob not till either summer or next fall

I could show you typical day eating if that helps

How many shakes / protein bars you throw in there compared to whole food?

**FrkyBgStok** · 10-28-2003, 04:44 PM

food is better, but 500+ grams of protein isn't feasible.

I'm at 223 now... and eating my 4th chicken breast today (plus 2 cans of tuna, 3 shakes, a few protein bars, 2 gallons of water...) getting close to my 400g needed. Ugh...

I feel like Mister Creosote

Garçon! The bucket!

three shakes, one post workout and the other two spread in the day. I usually have a detour bar or something for a quick snack as well.

So we are all pretty much on the same page as far as diets...

Maybe I need to relook at my Carb intake then...

I was once a pretty fat kid so I don't want to overdo the carbs...

Get meal replacements, not just protien shakes, Just keep throwin them in all the time, every 2 hours 55grms of protien...

Dont feel bad bro....im about 5 lbs shy.......

**the hulkster** · 10-28-2003, 06:41 PM

yes it is very hard to do this when you are a lil bigger, I eat at 7:30 dozen egg whites, then have a shake at 10:00, eat again at 12:30 chicken, cottage cheese, tuna and skim milk and some form of pre training complex carb, shake again at 3:00, eat again at 6:00 beef or chicken, cottage cheese, yams, top it off with a can of tuna right before I go to bed. That is as close to 500 gms of protein I am going to get due to my schedule. the basics of this is try and get some protein every 2-3 hrs usually at about 50-60 gms a pop.

Whatcha gonna do brother.........

=========================

Ain't that the truth . . .
Everyday it's
bfst-- 2 cans tuna & a quart of pasta
workout
post wo - quart of milk & 50 gms prot. powder
1st lunch - half lb of steak & rice
2nd lunch - tub of cottage cheese with pineapple, and more rice
dinner - half lb steak and pasta
1st nighttime snack -- can of lowfat chili
2nd nighttime snack -- protein shake

Seems like eating is a part-time job. More concerned with just shovelling the stuff down the gullet than eating . . .
