I have been reading on the internet and I talked to some guys that work out a lot and they say you should consume 1 gram of protein for every pound of your weight. This seems like a ridiculous amount. I try to consume 100 grams of protein everyday. I'm 5'9 170 lbs. Is that consumption rate for strictly hardcore bodybuilders or what?
I have been making homemade shakes that have a good amount of protein and this is the best way I've figured out to increase the amount of protein consumption. The shake I make is 2 cups of milk, a scoop of whey protein, 2 spoons of peanut butter, a cup of dries oats and a banana. Does anyone on the forum who who works out a lot consume 1 gram of protein for every pound of their weight?
