how much protein are you consuming /fit/?
I'm eating about 105g. I've noticed some gain increase, but haven't really gained weight.
40 scoops a day
>>36547043
I drink about 90 grams of protein a day as long as I worked out that day. The rest is from food I eat. I do not eat very much because I get full so fast. I'm also 5'9 142. I was 135 last month and have put on some quality lean mass. No fat over here. Im also 21 if that matters.
105g? Do you even scoop+chicken?
Fuck man if you're trying to gain weight you wanna aim for double that
>>36547043
1 gram per pound of lean mass, so e.g. if you are 200 lbs and 20% body fat, eat 160g a day.
>>36547123
I only weigh 135. I can bench/squat 195, but just not gaining weight. I'm also 21.
>>36547191
don't even know my body fat, but 20%-30% is a safe guess so I must be over killing it.
>>36547271
Mate the amount of weight you gain isn't dependent on your protein intake, its your calories. Eat more of other food and count calories if you have to
>>36547418
what'd happen if continued to eat a lot of protein and the same amount of calories?
300g a day is my goal but I normally hit between that and 250. Why do you guys getting less than 200 even lift? Are you skeletons?
>>36547271
Are you a femanon? 20-30% is a bit on the tubby side for a male.
If you're a man and weigh 135 with 20% body fat, you must be like under 5 foot tall.
why here are so fucking expensive ffs, a bowl of protein (73 scoops) = 72 dollars.
>>36547590
purely talking out of my ass lol. 5'6" and 135.
pretty skinny dude
>>36547574
I am pretty thin. I'm just getting muscular enough to be king of the twinks. QT bois 4 lyfe. Not gay though. I'm that guy that fucks your gf while you are at the gym
Im natty, so protein intake is almost irrelevant, i had the same gains on 50g of protein as I did on 200g of protein / day.
protein powders are also garbage of the worst quality. I wouldn't feet my dog protein powder.
>450lb dead
>350lb squat
>>36547043
70-80g a day
Even 50g a day is fine if you're at a surplus
>>36547124
gaining weight has little to do with your protein intake. protein is a terrible source of calories for weight gain.
>>36547043
70-80g a day
90g protein if you're around 200-220lbs
50g for anything under 200lbs
>>36547043
I have 2 scoops of 25g a day along with another 40-60 grams from real food.
>>36547191
it's one 1g per kilo dumbass
>>36547043
200-250g
AND I'M CUTTING MOTHERFUCKERS
>>36547531
If you eat a good amount of protein and boost healthy carbs and fats, thus increasing total caloric intake, you'd gain weight.
>>36548115
you're supposed to get more photons when you're cutting

I've been on the alpha program so im at 115g per workout day. for gaining mass 1.25g for every pound of lbm is ideal for me
>>36548061
lol no.
no woner yurops are small
>>36548522
Yes, we're small :^)

black ppl dont count
60-75 grams a day. Gone as low as 40-50 for several months and still gained muscle.
Protein intake for naturals is directly related to training age and lean body mass. The rule of thumb is 1 gram of protein for 1 pound of LEAN BODY MASS.
Untrained lifters will gain the most muscle mass in their first 4 (four) years of training, this is when your protein requirement is high and supplementation may be required (whey concentrate/isolate/casein/plant).
After the first 4 (four) years training you will stop building muscle as quickly and then your protein requirements will drop since less muscle mass is being grown monthly/yearly which reduces the need for supplementation significantly (i.e. protein requirements can be met by food alone).
Linear progression is the most important thing to consider when calculating protein requirements.
At this point the amount of muscle mass I can gain WITHOUT INCREASING my BODY-FAT percentage is minimal, around 1-2lbs years, and this it with optimal diet, optimal training routine and optimal sleep.
Hence why bulking/cutting for naturals is a myth. Regardless you will only put on 'x' amount of lean body mass on a large surplus or at 500+. In all the years on this site the posters with the best physiques maintain lower body-fat year round.
Article below is a great read for what to expect NATURALLY for muscle gain training for 'x' years.

How long have you been lifting lotus?
>>36548710
16-26. A decade.

>n bench/squat 195, b
is this how im supposed to train my pokemon?
>>36548930
How old were you when you started cyclin?
>>36549118
Maybe 29 or 30. Depends on how the next few years go.
>>36549186
Oh damn, you are actually natty? Fucking miring man. How much mass per year would you expect to put on if you started cycling at this stage?
>>36549225
Ya, lol. Thx. I have no idea how my body would respond to steroids. The amount of mass would be dependant on the compounds and dosages though, which don't have a good enough understanding to make an educated statement.
The end goal would be 193lbs @5-6%. Overtime I think I can get to 188lbs@ 7% and if I can over the next couple years, then I won't cycle.
The chances are pretty low for me to follow through and start using gear. Just a what-if fantasy...
Looking perfect to gen pop is my main goal from an aesthetics perspective, not looking perfect to the bbing community.
>>36547043
1g per kg of lean body mass, more than that will not do anything
>>36547574
300 a day
ISHYGDDT
what are you 300 lbs??
