Love this .. I may run something similar with just 120 more grams of carbs (complex ones .. sugar is outtie) ... which I understand will put me at 2,500 calories per day.

Would you mind listing out like 1 days meals ... how many meals ... time intervals .. and what you drink ... lots of water no doubt (how about unsweet tea and coffee) ...?

What's interesting to see is the vast differences in everyone. Snake and tiny, not crazy amounts of protein. Yet look at them.

Then look at gibs and company, quite a bit more and also jacked.

Excellent point ... we all must find out what works best for ourselves ... but it's still nice to hear what you guys are doing ...

I keep it at around 200g and I weight 265-270. There are times that I eat more and times that I eat less. I am an anomaly as I don't know anyone my size that can get away with the diet that works for me. I have maintained 250+ lbs at @2000 calories per day for months before.

 

[NbleSavage]

At 270 lbs I'm getting in around 325-350 grams of protein a day. Currently in a calorie deficit so keeping it on the higher end. Ground turkey, cod, eggs, and whey are primary sources.

^^ Absolute Unit right here, Lads ^^

I weigh-in just a scone over 230 Lbs these days, tend to take in 'round 200 grams of protein. Bit more if I'm not traveling, bit less if I am. Chicken breast & thighs, a shake after me workout, greek yogurt, skirt steaks...'taint that hard if ye meal prep even a little bit.

Aha. Savages’ secret is eating skirt and taint.

I do black coffee and shoot for a gallon a day of water

Meal 1. 4 egg whites 2 whole eggs 3 pieces of turkey bacon and a handful of spinach

Meal 2. Protein shake 2 scoops, 5 grams creatine 1 tbsp chia seed, 2 tbsp almond butter

Meal 3. 8 oz chicken breast 2 cups of greens (peas, brocolli ,green beans variants) half an avocado

Meal 4, (pre workout) Protein shake 2 scoops, half cup of oatmeal 1 tbsp chia seed, 2 tbsp almond butter

Meal 5 (post workout) 8 oz of sirloin steak or lean hamburger meat, 2 cups of greens 1 cup of jasmine rice. (If not lifting that day or cardio, sub rice for half avocado)

 

[Sicwun88]

At 280lbs, I'm always shooting for almost 300-350g a day,like having a 2nd job, because I cook everything myself, shakes help,but it's alot!

 

[Sicwun88]

Depending on what I'm trying to do, sometimes 2g for each pound I weigh,but always at least 1g per pound!

It’s fascinating. I’ve been trying to research (here and elsewhere) what’s “optimal” - bro science and science all have different answers. Minimum of .8g/lb up to 2g/lb. *shrugs*

230lbs and finally consistently over 200g. Going to try to aim for 230g consistently.

I agree. I looked at BigSwole's comment. Amazing that someone that massive can maintain at 2000 calories.

[Ragingmenace223]

pinterest has a lot of protein bar and ball recipes esp. if you like peanut butter...it will definitely put 5 lbs on you in two weeks ....ull sh** strait peanut butter though

 

[Ragingmenace223]

i just dont see how you do it i need to start stretching my stomach but i thought you could only digest and utilize 50 grams max at a time and that using gear and eating clean 5000 calories clean is had to do ur eating when ur still full...so i eat probably 120 grams in food and drink 3 40 gram shakes most of the time with whole milk . i know that is horrible but my metabolism is so high im still at 8% bf abouts so why change it ...dont fix it if it isnt broke...

 

[OnlineSteroidShop]

I try to consume 1 gram per pound, I have 250 pounds, so around 250 grams protein per day.
