what is your question, exactly?

 

[atherjen]

yah Im a lil confused as well.... what did you want to know exactly?

 

[winnie]

i just want to know if it is enough protein and what does protein do for you

 

[atherjen]

protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of muscle. therefore an adequate amount is required each day to repair and build muscle tissue.
if your goal is to build muscle then no, that is not enough protein. you should aim for the minimum of 1g/lb bodyweight, 1.5g/lb being ideal. You should also be eating smaller more frequent meals, every 2.5-3hrs max, each one having a protein source to keep a steady flow of amino acids in your blood.

protein should be 1.5x bodyweight.

as for giving you an eating guide, do some research on your own. use the search function, and check out the sticky at the top of the page.

i also suggest you rethink your Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) use until you have your diet in check.

Try adding in some other sources of protein. You should be eating 5-6 times per day(every 2-3hrs). This way your muscles have a continuous flow of amino acids that they use to build and repair themselves.
