How much protein do you guys eat per day?

[Howarth17]

Just curious

 

[xLGx]

Around 200g. I weigh around 220lbs

 

[Adrenolin]

When I'm real serious, easily 400g from whole food sources alone. Normally, however, on a relaxed diet.. I usually consume likely anywhere from 200 - 300g.

 

[LatRaze]

1g/lb is the minimum I get especially when cutting.

400g as a minimum while bulking and up to 500g(2lbs+ of meat daily). No less than 350g while cutting. This year my weight varied from 270lbs @12%bf bulking to 250lbs 8-9% cut.
As Adrenolin mentioned above, whole foods will always trump protein powders for overall effectiveness.

Here's some good reads in how much protein a muscle can use from one meal:

I'm currently 225 pounds and I'm taking in around 240 a day, mostly from chicken, tuna and protein shakes.

All irrelevant information to those of us who're chemically enhanced

True when on cycle but many are off like the OP so the intakes would be relevant

I don't know how the hell you could eat 400 grams of protein a day from whole food sources lol, that's nearly 5 pounds of chicken

That makes it sound so much easier brother. I could definitely chow down at least 3lbs of chicken in one sitting.

Holy thread bump! But once again, I try to get at least 1g protein per lb of bodyweight.

 

[Beth641]
