Enough proteins?

[Xa88]

I've read many things about how many proteins I should get a day.. from 1.5 to 3 per lbs.. don't know where to stand to

I'm getting 200g of proteins a day, is it enough?

More about me:

• I'm ectomorphic (bigger than avatar now)
• 1m88 (6'3")
• 75 kg (175 lbs)
• Hardgainer
• Average daytime activity.
• Slightly hypothyroidic (taking 37µg or tyroxin ED)
• On second week of 400mg test. cyp. cycle
• Weightlifting 3 to 4 times a week.

I can post my typical menu, please advise

Because I'm on cycle or even if not?

I feel that is too low. Im at a calorie deficit and get close to 300. What is your exact diet?

How old r u? IMHO u are too light to have started your cycle, you should of waited till u built a better base first! I would always stick around 2lbs per pound of weight! If u are a hard gainer u can get away with eating more carbs

[--->>405<<---]

not to bust ur chops too much there xa but shouldnt u have figured this all out before u started a steroid cycle??????????????????????????????????????

post ur current diet...

Oh my, that's very 1970's. And loaded with fat

What are the macro's for each meal?

[Xa88]

Haha what would it look like in 2012?

Will post macro when I'm back

[Back In Black]

Less milk, less bread, less pasta! Most of it tbh.

Looking forward to seeing those macro's.

Why?

OP: Once I establish my caloric needs, my rule of thumb is 1.5g/lb of LBM, not total bodyweight. We don't need to figure bodyfat into our protein requirements for what should be obvious reasons.

I then fill in my other 2 macros. From there, I adjust +/- slightly, but never wind up needing to waver much from 1.5g/lb of LBM. On cycle, i'd raise protein a bit but nothing hugly substantial.

I don't know your bodyfat but figured you at 10% just for argument's sake. At your weight, 200g is a bit low; i'd probably put you at 250g normally, 300g on cycle.

And btw, I agree with Stem - your diet is horrendous!
