50 g total? One serving in your protein shake should have at least 50 g of protein in my opinion. So that's probably 2 or 2.5 scoops? How much do you weigh?

Don't you need like a 2 g to 1 lb protein intake for your body weight?

I try to drink 4-5 a day. 2 with milk, one in the morning, one post workout, and the rest during the day with water.

2 scoops was a bit too sickly for me, I find protein shakes hugely unpalatable. I'd always heard the formula of 1g of protein per lb of LEAN bodyweight personally. I weigh like 185 but need to cut quite a lot to get down to a low bf%. I'm not really looking to bulk up much more at the moment, just to maintain whilst losing fat.

2g per lb would only be if you were SERIOUSLY bulking, I would think. That's a lot of protein.

1gram per pound of body weight is the norm

It used to upset my stomach as well, I just mixed it with more water and had it with some solid food and that did the trick for me. Even eating a granola bar and some toast ect and it didnt bother me at all, but on an empty stomach it sometimes makes me feel unsettled

I'd always thought when lifting doubling the amount of protein needed to maintain was adequate.

I drink 1.5+ scoops mixed with yogurt, crushed ice, a cloudy juice and soy milk. Tastes great and at almost 500 calories has helped me gain some mass (I do some lifting, I bike mostly). I had read that some sort of fruit with a varied sugar content and 30-40 grams of protein is a great post-workout combination.

[sonicvoodoo]

you can only assimilate a certain amount of protein at once. The exact amount is unclear but the range is 30-45 gms. anything more is just converted to waste

Thank you voodoo

Got oats and peanut butter in the mail today. Cinnabun protein comes next week. Even though I am not lifting regularly here, I think getting the proper amount of protein is important after my 3 hour judo sessions everyday. I hate having to import everything here.

[Phyziks]

LOL, you have to import oats and peanut butter? Are you living on the International Space Station or something?

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

^^^ I'm actually curious – how much does it cost to buy stuff online that I eat a lot of? I'm not talking stuff that'll spoil, but staples like nuts and junk that I eat a lot of anyways?

Its cheaper to buy oats and shit online than in a store here as they are specialty store items here. The only peanut butter is some skippy type shit that costs 500 yen for about 200g.

Check it out. Some stuff is super cheap online. Stuff like amazon grocery takes an additional 10% or something off if you subscribe to monthly shipments (which you can cancel at anytime). I used to get alot of stuff that did not need to be fresh online.

You can't get other stuff? Japan should have some alternatives, no?

Shoot me some sites you get stuff off of. I'm curious mostly for big bulk purchases of nuts and tuna.

I've stopped lifting for bulking lately, and am just working on jiu jitsu conditioning and surfing conditioning. My life is nice.

[IM SOLE CRAZY]

So uh. What kind of workout programs does everyone follow?

[playdisonlyatnight]

im at week 11 and still havent lost as much BF as id want on this keto diet so ive thrown in morning cardio sessions on my 2 off days and added 10 min to post workout cardio.

think ill go for 15 weeks.

[kunk75]

^up your fat intake

[NatseOklim]

Anyone got any tips for some very low cal, quick snacks that will give me some carbs? I'm finding my energy levels are dropping to nearly zero during the middle of the day while I'm trying to cut.

[sonicvoodoo]

how 'bout carrots?

[NatseOklim]

Excellent, i'll pick up a bunch of baby carrots. Thanks!

Went to the gym for the first time in like a month and a half on Weds.

Killed my legs.

My shoulder is still acting up, so will be doing chest/tris tomorrow, if the shoulder holds up.

[enlightened.]

I need help. I've been doing some research online and etc, but either I'm dumb and cant find the right sources (most likely the case) or...well that's probably it

Its my first time cutting in around 1.5-2 years of bulking, I'm fine with slow fat loss progress or whatever, but I just want to drop some fat, while retaining as much muscle as possible

I've looked into the keto diet and stuff, but I was wondering are there any (less effective is fine) alternatives that work well also

the reason I ask is because of just the wealth of information out there...

Also I've heard things about low carb diets that will result in myself losing more muscle mass than other ways, etc..

Im just confused and want to get my diet facts straight for once, would appreciate anything, otherwise ill go back to looking around on the net

I could post up loads of crap here for you to read, drop me a pm and I can give you some specific tips ect instead of loading up this thread.

will do, appreciate it

has anyone tried soy protein? i saw it in the store today...

[IM SOLE CRAZY]

Its the "anti protein" protein.

Inhibits certain amino acids from being properly being adsorbed , thus preventing growth.

Amongst other negatives as well.

Has a low BV score.

Yeah just dont do it.

[Billy.Barbados]

It's nasty. Just get the microwaveable burgers, they're quick and easy.. And don't taste bad.

[CUTUP]

Will do

I will dig it up again and post it up for you all

[NatseOklim]

Can I just give a major thanks for the ATW love on this thread? I can't believe how good it is. When mixed with some milk and yoghurt, the vanilla flavour actually tastes like a "real" milkshake. No gritty taste, no after taste, no sickly taste. The first protein powder I've ever tried that doesn't make me dread drinking it.
