How much protein do you consume daily?

[transcend2007]

I'm just starting to track my macros again after months of being on the see food diet (eating pretty much everything I see) ... it is amazing how easy it is to allow sugar to creep into our diets ..

Currently I'm consuming 100 to 120 grams of protein at 198 pounds ... over the next week I'm going to increase it to 180 to 200 grams ...

How many grams of protein do you consume and at what weight ... also what are some of go to's for easy protein consumption ... for me hard boiled eggs and protein shakes ... I needs to greatly expand those ...

I shoot for 250. I weigh about 245 (although the flu has me down to 237 in 24 hours). My protein comes from meat, a shake, and an occasional bar.

This is my daily

3130 calories
349g protein
257g carbs
75g fat

I weigh 220ish. You know how it goes... 221 one day 225 another. Gibs and Metalhead got on my ass a few months ago and I started eating consistent. You can't beet canned tuna for easy protein at an affordable price. Good ole boneless/skinless chicken breasts are cheap and easy.

I shoot for 1g per pound and I seem to put on decent muscle for my age.

I hear Spongy is the diet guy but if anyone gives a shit this is what mine is supposed to be.

Breakfast:
3 scrambled eggs
3 pieces of wheat toast with sugar free jam
Protein Shake

Snack:
2 hard boiled eggs
1 can of tuna

Lunch 1:
5 oz chicken breast
225g baked sweet potato
3 oz vegetable

Lunch 2:
5 oz chicken breast
225g baked sweet potato
3 oz vegetable

Snack:
2 cans of tuna
2 pieces of wheat toast

Post workout/Dinner:
Protein Shake
6 oz chicken breast
1/4 cup (dry measure) brown rice
6 oz vegetable


This comes out to

3552 calories
369g protein
320g carbs
89g fat

I believe according to research, it's about 0.8 grams per pound of body weight, spread out pretty evenly over several meals, to maximize MPS.

Don't think I've seen any research on whether more is needed to optimize MPS when using AAS though, so grain of salt.

I'm about 200 lbs, I'm consistently consuming 250-275 grams from all sources daily. Too much, but meat is deeeeee-licious!!!

I always go for 1.25 gram per lb of bodyweight so somewhere around 320

The other day when I couldnt stop eating I tracked my cals and I had 570g carbs 173g fat 405g protein 5500 calories total. Only just looked at this breakdown due to this thread I was just curious about the calories when I tracked it

 

[snake]

I get 180-200 grams a day.

 

[notsoswoleCPA]

I get 180-200 grams a day.

Same, and I currently weigh 250 and I want to get down to 235 this year.

I guess it could be worse because I weighed 270 in December of 2018 which was down from 320 in 2014.

 

[simplesteve]

About 380 grams daily at 221LBs
Boneless chicken breast, Whole milk, and protein Shakes.

Sounds about the same calorie intake as my See Food diet plan ... just a slightly different macro breakdown ... only 750 carb (700 from sugar) ... 350 fat ... 80 protein ... but I can see bock bok (chicken & tuna) are going to become my best friends very soon!

 

[Trump]

there was plenty chicken and tuna in there and not a lot of sugar

im 235-ish and get in about 200g daily. I should get more but im in a deficit and its already hard to eat.
I puke in my mouth when I see how many calories some of you are eating, I just dont see how. I used to eat at least 5k a day and probably more like 7-9k daily but I weighed 370 and 50% BF at that point.

 

[BRICKS]

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.

 

[Seeker]

While on blast I would always try to achieve 1.5 to 2 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight. Now on trt I just try to get in around 1gram per lb

 

[Flyingdragon]

40-50 grams per meal, Gingers require more

 

[Trump]

That doesn’t look good

 

[John Ziegler]

depends on how many dicks I suck

 

[transcend2007]
