lotus 2 Report post Posted April 15, 2008 I was always taught to do 0.6 grams per pound but that was just what was needed, not for muscle building or anything. Not that I really pay much attention to my diet, I just try to eat anything in my messed up schedule.http://www.playyourgame.com/mealplan.htmlThat might be helpful for any meal planning kovalchuk71.

The trick is that the body can not take that much protein in 3 meals a day. It can only absorb so much protein at a time, and any excess just goes down the toilet. So you have to space it out in perhaps 6 meals a day.thats not true at all. you should always be eating 6-7 meals a day anyway, the 3 meal structure is not ideal.

Maka 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 I'm pretty sure that's an unnecessary amount of protein. I could have sworn that the max amount of protein the human body can handle in a given instance is around 30-35 grams.1-3 gram per kilogram i believe is what is considered "optimal"I think that's the optimal amount over the course of a day. I believe the body can only truly absorb 30-35 an hour or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
