too much protein?

Prada.. my pupil



just an fyi: for a non-shredded individual that's close to the standard 1.25gr/lb bodyweight.


For myself personally i ingest .75-1 gr per lb of bodyweight offseason.

Pre-contest, I take in 1gr per pound of LBM.

Feed the muscles, not the fat!

Personally I find the "2gs/lb" mantra a little excessive but to each their own. Everyones is different.

Yep. I think it's supplement company marketing ploy...and has been for years.

No doubt that athletes need more protein than sedentary people.

And, again, no doubt that the RDA is grossly inadequate.

However, 2gr/lb is overkill.

'cept where protein cycling (starvation coupled with overfeed) is being used
