Gain Muscles - How Much Protein?

[abcGoGetter]

I hear that all the time, but eatin 170g of protien a day is insane amount of food. Protien shakes arnt for me just natural protien from like fish, nuts ect but its damb near impossible to eat that much, can get like 80g of protein a day but thats all.

[xYoUnGxCaPoNex]

So for example if I'm 80kg I need 160grams of protein?

[arbboss]

hi,im 19 and im really skinny,i decided to go to workout,and take protein. for how much time i will get the diference at my body? please answer i need to know so bad:( sorry for bad english.thanks

[zintars1]

hi :) if i go to gym 3 days a week then should i take protein only before my workout and after ,or should i use it in days when im not working out too? :)

[widomz]

@zintars1

Your body needs from 2-5 grams of protein per Kilo of your weight.

If you are a beginner and not a well trained bodybuilder, start with 2grams per kilo

Your body needs proteins after you've been working out, so take your proteins after workouts. Days when your not working out, you can drink protein but split that amount on 4 different meals day. Example: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and supper

[widomz]

2 scoops of creatine. One before working out and one after. (creatine mixed with apple juice). Then followed by 136g of Whey protein after working out, mixed with milk.

i'm 68kg, in case you were wondering why it was 136g.

Days when i'm not working out, take two scoops of creatine, one when you wake up and one when you go to bed. Work out four days a week. Monday- Friday, two days with rest and back on track. What else do i need and what did i miss?

[plzletmego87]

Thanks soo much. And your information is really accurate! I spoke with my primary care physician and a dietian and both pretty much said the same thing.

[icemanx13464]

I also recommend add either some banana slices or some blue berrys for added flavor.

[Fraternity187]

@icemanx13464

this is horrible information, wtf were you thinking?

[icemanx13464]

@Briannorris33 i fully agree with you. I eat ever 2 to 3 hours a day so i can get my daily supply of protein.

For anyone that is struggling on getting enough protein or is just getting tired of drinking a lot of shakes, try and buy some instant oatmeal packs either regular or high fiber. Cook one packet with a little extra water and then when its cooked get 2 scoops of protein powder and mix them into your oatmeal till it no longer has the powder look. I recommend vanilla as the powder.

[MrAshToast]

I was taking just two shakes a day up until today. Woke up this morning with severe lower back pain. KIDNEYS. Stay away from this foul shit. All this muscle-building nonsense is a waste of your life and body. Focus on improving your self-esteem from within. Then if your happy with your self you can go to the gym and actually enjoy it and have a nice normal diet instead of all this ridiculous vanity.

[ownagebutter]

i thought u cud only metabolize 27 grams of protein per day

[GordonFreeman70]

Oh shit..the intro made me thing I was watching Dan and Jenn..

[ratiocinativeness]

People are misled by this stuff. It's NOT just about how much protein you take in total, but how you spread it out. It's been scientifically proven that the body CANNOT absorb anymore than 30grams of protein per meal, any more and you'll just pee it out. So why take more? And you don't need 1 gram per lb of body weight. For me that's 22+ eggs or 6 steaks/day. You'd get a heart attack from that!! If you feel you need that much, then you need to focus on improving protein digestion, not intake!!!!

[MrAshToast]

@ratiocinativeness Good point. This 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight is ridiculous. A single serving of a protein shake has about 20 grams. On average you're not going to get more than that in your meal. So three meals a day = 60 grams. Lets say 10 grams from other stuff MAX. Total = 70 grams. If you're 180 pounds like me then you need another 110 grams. That's nearly 6 fucking shakes!!!! RIDICULOUS BULLSHIT! LIAAARS! It will DESTROY your body! Just be natural! Listen to the body!

[briannorris33]

@MrAshToast In order to get the additional grams of protein you can simply eat more meals. When attempting to lose weight and increase metabolism, it's common for people to eat 5 to 6 small meals a day. If you split your protein between this number of meals you easily take in the 1 gram of protein/ lbs of weight with or without protein shakes. I have been doing this myself for the last 8 months with great results both in terms of fat loss and muscle gain.

[jcrockz420]

im just wondering has it actually been scientifically proved that you need to take in so much protein a day, what about protein excess i train myself self but im kinda a skeptic on how much protein one really needs

[CeeEmmz]

RANDY ORTON!!!! :O

dude is 42 grams of protein a day good? like i dont even take whey nor supplements im tryna go for lean like how bruce lee's body is well similar... but yea 42 grams of protein a day good? and i do low carb diet so is it that much good?

[wildreams]

Are you sure I need THAT much protein?

[MrBurty5]

If 70 kilo = 154 lbs he says if you weigh yourself in kilo's then you need 140g of protein a day but if you weigh yourself in lbs then you need 154g of protein thats a loss if 14g a day 98g per week thats nearly a days loss of protein over one week and that a lot if you are trying to bulk up

[gameN00b077]

so if i weigh like 120-130 pounds i need 120-130 grams of protein each day?

[frank12364]

@gameN00b077 yessssss dude he repeated it like 10 times in the video!!

[Stevofxx]

Portein into fat? LOL. I don't think its possible.

[CivicSiGuy2007]

Good video... However, I don't agree with the grams per body weight thing. What people don't realize about the body is, like you said, that it will either store protein as fat or discard it. But the body, more specifically the liver with take what ever it has and make whatever it needs. i.e. liver will turn carbs to protein if needed. your body can only absorb so much protein a day, and not all that is absorbed gets used for muscle.  Good review tho.

[phoenixmission]

Thumbs up if you think this guy has mayor gayface.

[PureBrutalSickness]

ok so if i dont want to gain more muscle mass how muchas protein should i take my body weight is 95kg

[TheRogueMonk]

I want to ask you something that i red newly that since your body needs muscle to maintain itself THE REAL protein intake you should have is

IN ADDITION to the maintainance

so what would that look like?

if 2 * 84 is my maintanance pr day isnt it true i must have more protein to grow more muscle in addition?

[TheRogueMonk]

You say also that only 1 2 can be metabolised pr day to build muslce

but is that figure equal for those who train very hard?

[skinnygainmuscle]

Hi @ TheRogueMonk - Great question. These figures of 1-2 grams protein per kg bodyweight are overall daily measurements for those training hard. (And this translates to about 1g per LB bodyweight). Now, I have heard of some bodybuilders on strict diets getting 1.9 grams per LB bodyweight, but that's pretty extreme i.e. after eliminating carbs completely from their diet). So take the 1-2 grams per kg as a decent starting point and rule-of-thumb for now. thanks

[TheRogueMonk]

My thing is that i have red Mike mentzers book heavy duty nutrition.

He basically mentions that the nessesary amount of protein being 1g kg you have to add to that to be able to gain muscle

and i want toknow how do you know the difference between his idea and the one you use.. how can you know well 1g kg is enough and you dont need much more......

[TheRogueMonk]

despite that he says bodybuilders eat too much it seems he also says that RDA or the standards need to be exceeded even if its slightly to gain muslce.. but normally everyone has some fixed idea.

[TheRogueMonk]

Btw ialso liked ot know if 1 g protein pr kg is enough for someone working out 4 days a week 2 hours and wants to have great muscle gains?

how would i kknow? it makes a food budget difference.

[skinnygainmuscle]

Hi @TheRogueMonk -- I base a lot of my nutrition guidelines for protein from guys like Patrick McGuire over at Empowered Nutrition who are world-class experts on tailoring precise nutrition plans for all kinds of goals (including gaining muscle). As a starting point, I'd veer more towards 2g protein per kg, and adjust from there over time . And please, please, please don't work out for 2 hours at a time - try and keep each workout under an hour to keep 'cortisol levels' from rising too high.

[uvu157]

@TheRogueMonk The American College of Sports Medicine says that the (RDA) recomended daily allowance for protein is .8g/kg of body weight. The RDA for endurance endurance athletes is 1.2/1.4 g/kg body weight. RDA for strength trained athletes is 1.6/1.7 g/kg body weight. By the way proteins do not build muscles. It's a misconception. The only reason you need to take extra protein is for recovery loss. Gym rats say you need protein to build muscle not educated exercise physiologists.

[TheRogueMonk]

@uvu157 what do you mean recovery loss? also what does build muscles then?

i know protein does not build muscles just cause its a food factor its not going to change your body by itself cause its just protein but what do you exactly mean?

nice information do you want to be my channel friends? if your inteo working out and exercise and want to help people join my channel friends...

[yanal1234567890]

@MsSam1111 you should always drink one

eight oz cup before a work out and with in 30 mins after a work out so only two.

and that is only to bulk up ,

[MsSam1111]

helooo I use the whey proten can u tell me how many time take it in the day

thnx

[skinnygainmuscle]

Hi @MsSam1111 - I pretty much agree with @yanal1234567890 here about taking a 'Pre' and 'Post' workout shake (IF you choose to take protein shakes at all). Portion size will depend on the specific whey you're using, your own body weight, your daily calorie needs, AND the other calories you consume throughout the day. Ultimately, try to make sure at least half your daily meals come from whole food meals. (Finally, some like to include 3 shakes per day, depending on calories needs/lifestyle etc..)

[kamaster1011]

@skinnygainmuscle if you weight 126 lbs and you use 130 of protien is that still good?

[katuray33]

yeahhhhhhhhh

[Fightrec]

thanks

[CoupleDrinks]
