is 332 grams of protein enough for a bulk? I'm 180.

I'm starting my first cycle in under two weeks. I'm currently working on the fine tunes of my (what will be a relatively strict) diet. So far my diet will look something like this: Cal / fat / carb / protein

As you can see, I'm only stacking about 330g protein. Is this enough. I've heard varying theories. One is 1g per pound of bodyweight, another is 1.5, and yet another is 2. What's the word?

This is for a total of a little over 3k calories. On workout days, there's an added PWO shake + meal 2 (PPW) has pasta instead of brown rice. Meal 5's "meat" will be a whatever I have available, be it ground beef, steak or chicken. Meaty.

1 cup oats 307 / 5g / 56g / 11g
whey 120 / 0g / 1g /25 g
banana 100 / 0g / 27g / 1g
peanutbutter 282 / 16g / 6g / 12g
Milk 120 / 2g / 12g / 9g

1 cup brown rice 200 / 2g/ 60g / 15g
½ cup beans 120 / 2g / 37g / 12g
chicken 130 / 1g / 0g / 27g
apple 80 / 0g / 21g / 0g
tbp oil 120 / 14g / 0g / 0g
cheese 120 / 9g / 0g / 7g

3 whole eggs 234 / 15g / 3g / 18g

pear 80 / 0g / 21g / 0g
nuts 150 / 14g / 6g / 6g

veggies 120 / 0g / 18g / 0g
meat 130 / 1g / 0g / 27g
apple 80 / 0g / 21g / 0g
oil 120 / 14g / 0g / 0g
cheese 120 / 9g / 0g / 7g

yogurt 140 / 0g / 19g / 14g
nuts 150 / 14g / 6g / 6g

1 to 1 1/2 gram of protein per bodyweight. now having said that the damage a very high protein diet can do to your liver and kidneys is significant. stay in the 1 range and sup with good bcaa's. that's my advice

I'm at something like 1.8g / pound. A fair percentage of said protein is derived from grains and frijoles...Are all proteins made equally? How do incomplete proteins affect the liver compared to complete?

 

[Inhuman2012]

frijoles are u serious? this is my opionion and my opionion only. eggs best protein; chicken, turkey, tuna clean protein. then you have cottage cheese slow releasing protein for at night. Nuts and grains bahhhhh im no squirell. lol there good for complex carbs and healthy fats that's all as far as im concerned. steak and beef is awesome but the overall longterm risks suck. protein powders are ok and usefull but get it in food as much as u can.

I don't think you read my diet.

I just went through it but I cant see 332 grams of protein there. maybe I need a calculator. the body can only assimulate 40g at a sitting. atleast that's the theory. I only see about 180or so in there. that's a good diet however i would add a little more animal protein.

 

[shenky]

holy fuck. What is wrong with me? How in god's name did I get 332? Yeah, I'll have to do that. It's about 200g's. I guess I can just eat larger portions of meat.

The body does not have a set limit as to protein assimilation.

If you weigh 180lbs you can do 180g- 220 or 240g of protein. More isn't always better so keep that in mind. Also to counteract some of the issues related to kidneys, make sure to drink plenty of water. At least 1gallon.l, preferably more.

Done. I buy a gallon of water daily, and usually drink more on top of it. good deal.
