Sick of it all!
Posted 07-24-2008 at 12:56 PM by Beavs
I am scarfing down little meals every two hours or so and I still can't get more than about 100/150 grams of protein of the 200 I am supposed to get into me every day (and I am using protein powders even though all wise PT tends to discourage it). I recall Hilary Swank, during preparation for Million Dollar Baby, was actually getting up in the middle of the night to suck down more egg whites. I feel her pain. I'm doomed.....

Gee whiz -- 200 grams! I have read (don't know if this is accurate or not, mind you) that the body can't process more than 25 grams of protein at one sitting, which would mean you would have to eat 8 mini-meals!
Why so high? Just curious. When I am really pushing the limits I can get up to about 130 grams but it's hard without going way over on my calories. A personal trainer I was seeing in January told me I should eat about 1 gram per pound of lean body mass (my lean body mass was about 120 lbs at the time). Mind you, his specialty was exercise, not necessarily nutrition, so maybe he was steering me wrong? |

Well, I am a hard gainer...an ectomorph so I've been working my tail off for years and not seeing the results I want. I'm trying to build muscle mass so I scarf protein and lifting heavy three times a week doing drop sets. I've been eating about six mini meals daily so I am taking far more in that I used to but still cannot hit that 200 mark. My trainer has various certifications and does nutritional counseling. She is well regarded in the region so I trust what she says even if I want to curse her every time I think of eating more yucky chicken.

Oh dear, now I am feeling your (and Hilary Swank's) pain! Good luck with hitting your 200! I will think of you every time I eat chicken ... I eat quite a bit of the stuff but I'm guessing you must be having quite a bit more!
