An ounce of meat is equal to how many grams of protein?

[fraidycat]

Further proving that eating 200grams a day is utter bull****

10 porkchops a day? lol

Looks like doctors are indeed correct when they say protein should be 30% of your daily diet. And if you wanna grow you just have to eat more, whilst still maintaining that 30% protein ratio.

Doctors are correct when they say that protein should be 30% of your daily diet -- if you're a slack-bellied, wide-assed, soft-handed also-ran carrying 30% bodyfat who spends his day at a desk and his nights playing video games or watching TV. What I'm saying is, those stats are correct for most Americans. Most Americans don't aggressively train for, or compete in, full-contact combat sports.

Recent studies have detemined that 150g of protein consumed within 24 hours after a workout results in an average gain of 20g of muscle. A pound is 453 grams, so we're talking .04 lbs of muscle gain from 2 protein shakes, or 5 chicken breasts, or 7 cans of tuna fish.

A pound is 450 grams. That means that it would take you about 3 weeks of working out daily and eating an extra 150g of protein per day -- in addition to your maintenance calories (3,000 per day if you're working out that hard; maybe more!) -- to build ONE POUND of muscle. If you don't take in the protein, it will take you a lot longer. You may burn fat, which will make you look more muscular, but once you're done growing, you have to take in big amounts of protein to build muscle.

Dont think anyone is denying that you have to eat lots of protein to gain muscle.

But poping protein shakes alone wont do it. Thats why so many people are not succesful when they eat all protein and then compalin of not gaining muscle.

You need all the grams that you can get, accompanied by carbs etc.

Right, if you're going to eat all that extra protein, you need to seriously up your complex carb and fat instake as well.
