Ok so I'm trying to work outthe right things to eat and stuff and I'm doing my head in reading all the Nutrition Information on hte back of everything :axe:

I thought it would be a good idea to start eating nut over the day, just something to snak on really. Then I looked at the back and found they had 14.3g of Protein and 26.5g of fat per 50g :confused:

Is it a good idea to keep an eye on this info or is it better just to crack on with it and forget about that stuff to much.

Is there a good target figer of protein to aim each day? If so what is it?

Protein intake varies between each individual.

All depends on how much you currently weigh and what goal you are trying to achieve.

Give us some more information first, then we can help a little more.

ur weight in lbs

so say ur 160lbs go for 160grams of protien as a minimum...

Alot of people say 1.5 grams per lb in weight

Sure this will do.
I think the 1.5 gram per lb of bodyweight is a little bit high. Ive seen as little as .6-1.2 per lb.

DB · 14-03-2005, 05:09 PM

yeah agreed hacks... i normally aim for 250g and i'm 205...

**big** · 14-03-2005, 05:39 PM

I find I grow much better, both size and strength, by going as high as 2g/lb on protein. For me that's around 420-430g/day. This also stimulates my metabolism nicely I find. I tend to keep my carbs pretty low and fats moderate to high.

Don't confuse cause and effect.

I have to eat that much BECAUSE I train properly.

So I don't recommend that you need to increase your protein at all ;)

DB · 14-03-2005, 06:24 PM

lol... back on topic....

As u can see R1MAD there are conflicting comment on here both as with different workout they all yeild good results.. try for 1 g or protien per LB of weight then progress from there..post ur training routine up also mate

**Pscarb** · 14-03-2005, 09:04 PM

if you train with max intensity which you should do and you are on the Gear then you should be aiming for at least 1.5g per lb at the end of the day muscle is protein(amino's blah blah)...

I find the same as this

IMO it takes high protein to grow (depending on body weight)

ChefX · 15-03-2005, 02:02 AM

I've found you can grow on .2g of protein per bodyweight if everything is right BUT in truth you grow better and get more from higher protein amounts... what is the right amount... its based on ratios not per bodyweight so from .5 to 1.5g per lb and its in a ratio from 25 to 45% of total calories and the right calories? raise them till you are gaining. Thats it (well sort of, hahaha if diets were only so simple, no wonder so many fail eh?)

R1 Mad · 15-03-2005, 09:55 AM

Ok cool. Well I'm 182lb and 5'10" in height.
Here is my diet plane

Meal 1
Toast with peanut butter
Fruit

Meal 2
Salad
Tuna
Nuts

Meal 3
Chicken
Rice
Egg

Meal 4
Beans
Toast

Meal 5
Glucose powder drink (this is the only one I have still to get)

Meal 6
Chicken/Stake
Jacket potato
Raw Vegs

From the look of that would you say I'm going down the right path?

My training is one day lower body next day upper body so I have a one day on one day off for each part of my body. I start training on the Monday and my last workout of the week is on Friday. Sat/Sun are recovering days.
