The effects of consuming a high protein diet (4.4 g/kg/d) on body composition in resistance-trained individuals:

The consumption of dietary protein is important for resistance-trained individuals. It has been posited that intakes of 1.4 to 2.0 g/kg/day are needed for physically active individuals. Thus, the purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of a very high protein diet (4.4 g/kg/d) on body composition in resistance-trained men and women.

Consuming 5.5 times the recommended daily allowance of protein has no effect on body composition in resistance-trained individuals who otherwise maintain the same training regimen. This is the first interventional study to demonstrate that consuming a hypercaloric high protein diet does not result in an increase in body fat.

Moreover, there were no significant changes over time or between groups for body weight, fat mass, fat free mass, or percent body fat.

Interesting....

it's the only truth: the only way

Back on subject: Bustinass on gh15 mentions he only eats around 150g protein a day and he's 6 foot 3 and 230 pounds. I think some people go over kill on the protein. I eat 150 a day at 175 lbs and make decent progress (I don't aim for 150 I just love protein heavy foods by nature)

There has been some discussion recently on how much protein is really needed, I've some mates in the medical / biochemical profession who lift, state much lower levels of protein can be employed with success for muscle hypertrophy... Adequate carbs are essential for metabolic processes....!!!!

GH-15....? There are some that really know their shit, but an awful lot of bullshit and bullshitters.... Some big mouths and very small avatar pics'....
 
I prolly eat about 2-250 g protein a day, not because I try to but because I fucking love meat albeit my fat content is also quite high.
Yesterday I had 2 rib eye steaks, 200g of chicken a 140g bag of nobbys nuts, some more chicken, can of tuna, a cheese and ham baguette and a beef curry for lunch.
I eat a massive buritto with pork beef and chicken brown rice, hot salsa and cheese like 4 times a week... Just as a snack maybe an hour after dinner. There's a buritti place directly facing my house...
 
I think that around gains max out around 250 grams a day, however, I do not believe in the max protein synthesis numbers that were released a few years ago saying that your body could only use 30 grams at a time.
