Protein Trouble for me
Hi,
I had to up my protein intake to 155g per day - I was only getting around 90-100 as I really can't eat a lot of meat.
My LBM is 155lbs and once I cranked up the protein, my headaches and nausea went away. (this was last week - also lost 4lbs last week)
Your body can't absorb more than about 40-45g protein at one time. I spread my intake out as much as I can during the day.
I get about 65g a day from Whey Protein shakes. (like Jag says).
I did some research and found about 1gP per 1lb LBM is about right. Excess protein is just flushed from the system as your body can not store it.
I'm eating between 25-30g carbs a day and around 1800-2000 calories a day as well. (just for comparison purposes)
Tom.
