diet question

[kloter1]

right now due to my very busy life, school, work..etc its hard to consume 180-200g of protein daily. if i eat lets say, 100-140g a day will i still build muscle?

some people respond differently with varied protein intake. If you can, try to up the carbs so u preserve the decreased protein intake.

You should be aiming at more like 260+g. of protein per day...(If you weight 174lbs as your profile says)...

At 100-140g per day, your ability to 'maintain' has decreased, let alone your propensity to add LBM....

Try bringing pouches of tuna, and whey in a Ziploc bag.... just shake one up when you need to.

Try bringing sliced turkey and mixed nuts to school. that's what i do every tuesday and thursday. makes a great pro/fat meal or snack...

Why is it hard? If you can eat 100-140 a day, simply ADD more to those meals.

You're way under the neccessary amount.

i actually bring mixed nuts and tuna to work/school for lunch and snacks. i know swole i just need to UP my intake but right now i dont have money to buy protein supps so i get all of my protein from foods. i forgot to mention im cutting right now so would i still need to take well over 200g?

In order to maintain mucle mass, I'd still suggest roughly 1.5+g/LB..
