so are they not enough to make a difference too? - I think you was missing he's point, he did not mean just eat a 100g of flax seed a day and nothing else. He ment to implement it into your current diet. That would mean, 6*25-30g's of p = 150 - 180 grams of p a day! - 6 being the number of meals you have each day just incase you didn't know. peace. | |

| Registered User | I know what he meant Kurt. My whole point is that 100g is 3-1/2oz. and that does not equal 25-30g protein for you information that equals 20g. Most people take about that amount at the most daily. For someone that is doing a high protein diet and is not a skinny little boy........that is not enough to make a difference one way or the other. I weigh in at 240lbs. so I take in about 250-300g daily.........20g don't make a real big difference in my diet. What most people don't like though is the fact that you might get you 20g of protein for eating 100g of flax seed but you also get 41g of fat with that. What I am trying to say is that other foods like chicken, fish, lean beef should be the main source of protein and not to rely on seeds and so forth because they contain much more fat with less protein. |

bump on the chicken, etc. scientific research has shown that 1.3g's for every lb of bodyweight is the 'perfect' amount, i take 220ish grams a day when adding mass. peace. | |

| Novice | I'm a martial artist and also a amatuer bodybuilder and the best thing for you to do is take whey protein. Its the best form of protein and gives you the best gains. I don't know how much you weight but I'm 5'6 and 151lbs. And my intake is around 250 grams of protein a day. You should take in about 200 grams day. That should be good. Try companys like gnc, and weiders.

Never tried soy protein supplement, nor done much research on it. any takers? Few other companies you might want to try. AST, Prolab, Designer Whey, Optimum Whey. I've always been happy with the products I've tried from these brands. O, AND STAY AWAY FROM MUSCLETECH! Last edited by Kurt; 08-27-2003 at 09:44 AM. | |

![]() | Take a protein supplement if you are out to gain lean mass,and especially if you have a hard time eating many meals throughout the day. I have taken soy protein,and it is a fair source if you are tight on funds...this is when I use it most,but do not limit your supplement ation to the majority of soy since it is lacking in the aminos methinone and cysteine. Oh,and if you intend on taking a soy protein supplement then make sure it is an ISOLATE form since any other form will have impurities that will negate your efforts. I go with SUPRO brand since all other brands tend to be of lower quality and tear my stomach up something bad in the stomach cramp/gas department. Supro works like a charm though with no stomach upset whatsoever.

![]() | This 1.3g/pund thing, does this include, or not include, the protein that you get from your natural meals? I usually some eat fish, chicken or red meat as a (small) part of most meals, and i should get some protein from that each day aswell. So should i eat 1.3g/pund as supplement, or would perhaps 50-70% of that be enough considering i have other sources for the protein? Also, for those of us who dont work out every day, should we decrease the protein intake on those days where we are inactive, and only do full-dose on the practise days? (If we assume for the sake of arguement that the supplements are taken right after training). Ive not been too into the whole diet thing so far, but im becomming increasingly curious to wether there is an untapped potential here for me to use... -Stigma

![]() | Hate to tell you this but there isn't that much scientific research that states 1.3/pound. Where did you get this number? Sounds like some slick manipulation in a ad in a mag to me.

On days I don't workout I lower my calories slightly, as I won't be expending as many. I do not lower my protein intake much, as I know it is needed for the new growth my body is undertaking. And you should def. look into sorting yourself out with a well planned diet, you will see far better results in strength and recovery, there will be much 'untapped potential' for you to unleash. peace. | |
