I heard you should have a certain amount of protein per day.
Now for me it is impossible to get this amount on food alone. I'm gonna need a protein supplement to help me out. I just don't know what is a good one. I know someone could help me out! |

Yes lots of protein is a must to grow, the usual number thrown around is between 1.0 - 1.5 GRAMS per pound you weigh. Some people strive to consume even 2.0 grams.
Try and get as much from food as possible. Egg whites and chicken breast are excellent sources. I currently drink three shakes a day. 1 after breakfast 1 after lunch 1 post workout I like leanbody packets, Labrada V60 Protein and ISO-PRO from Interactive Nutrition. All quality products in my opinion. Leanbody is a little expensive.... Is this what your looking for? Cheers. -urafreak |

I drink 2 or 3 shakes each day. I make sure I drink one post workout and right before I go to bed. For the last few years I have been taking Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey and I love it. The powder mixes well and tastes pretty good too. As for the food I eat for protein:
Eggs Chicken Turkey Steak ground beef peanut butter Milk I hate fish that's why you don't see any seafood on the list <_< , but fish is a really good source of protein and fat (good fat, BTW). |

I get over 300g from food sources alone, not even counting bread or oatmeal derived protein. Its not that hard.

I believe the perfect proportioned macronutritional intake of protein can be calculated by this simple equation.
1.98 X LBM For instance. 1.98 X my lbm= 1.98 X bodyweight at 0% b/f my bodyweight=284 my bodyfat=16% that gives me 45 pounds of nasty fat. that makes my lbm 236 pounds 1.98 X 236= 467 grams of protein per day |
