bb1Fit and Protein

CJFit Posts: 58 Joined: 2002/07/26	2002/09/24, 12:28 PM I am curious to know, if you don't mind sharing it, how much protein do you consume on a daily basis. Also, how much do you weight and how much of the other nutrients(Fats and Carbs) do you consume? Thanks

I am right now taking in on my exact diet 225 gr. protein, 53 carb, and almost 0 fat. Now 2 days a week I have a late carb meal, this keeps the metabolism in check, and helps keep you hard and is useful for glycogen storage so your workouts don't go totally down the tubes! this is about as close as it gets for me. Now next week, my last week, things will change somewhat. But this has been my diet for the last 8 weeks. Overall 1250 calories or extremely close. Would have to look at my journal for sure.

Now wether training for a show or doing some mass cycle or something else, then that will change dramatically. If you're just training for health, size and overall shape, then 1-2 grams/per pound of lean bodyweight is fine.

Isn't it amazing that some people, who are not, or never in a precontest mode, consume these large amounts of protein. Good luck with your show!!!
