Protein intake on test e

[fancyhuh101]

Considering that test increases the rate of protein synthesis , would it be a good idea to eat more protein on cycle , im weighing about 195 lb
5'7" 26 years old 13%bf . Thinking about trying to get about 250-300g of preotein a day ...

If I am not mistaken the amount of protein used is almost double. That's how some
Of those huge bros take in 8000+ cals a day

 

[fancyhuh101]

thats intense

You need 2 grams per body pound daily on gear to get solid gains.

FYI...

Get your protein from food and not shakes.250 grams will do the job!!

If you are asking this question you are not ready for gear. Diet needs to be in check.

 

[Truushot]

A shake post workout is great. Try to do 1.5-2 grams per body pound.

 

[Trevdog]

The simple answer is absolutely yes and I won't flame you but I am surprised to hear that someone that is on gear wouldn't already know this. I agree with the 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight as a minimum, and I believe that you will benefit from 2.5 or even more.

250-275g / day.
food preferred but shakes fine too. Shakes are good way to get like 80g of protein in easily. 2- 40g shakes.

I would prefer to get more of my protein from food but the reality is that I couldn't handle all my responsibilities or do all the things I want to do if I spent the time needed to buy, prepare, and consume all that food. Given the choice of shakes or missing protein I'll take the shakes every time.

^^^ X10000 It is always best to get your protein from food! But heck this isn't a fantasy world where we all can devote half of our day to eating meals!We got shit to do haha its just unrealistic! I get as much protein as I possibly can during the day from food.. and make up for the rest with shakes!

 

[urameshi]

2g per lb of bodyweight per day is a good rule of thumb

1.5 g's per lb body weight... get 75% protein from solid food... carbs are essential to growth, don't skimp on good starchy carbs 2-3x a week.

if you're taking 8000 cals a day you're on a lot more than just test

Haha or your metabolism is that of a nuclear power plant.. Knew a skinny friend back in the day that would take three 2k gainer shakes throughout the day plus food and he still didn't gain much.. I think it may have been a medical condition ha

BS I take like 60% of my protein from shakes and have put on alot of lbs in 4 yrs and lost bf...
the issue is people relying on shakes usually have a crappy diet. (the real issue)


I so rec you having food when you have the shakes if not just after tranning. or even just 30min before a meal.
