  1. I try to get about 2 grams of protein per kgr of my weight. So I consume
    whey powder.

    I notice that I have a lot of gasses (and smelly ones) when I do this. Is
    this normal? Isn't this an indication of improper digestion? SHould I cut
    down rotein? Should I do something different?

    BTW, should I consume 2 gr protein per kgr of weight, or per kgr of Lean
    Body Mass?

    It's the protein. Certain brands give worse gas than others.

    I'm still trying to understand why they mix SI with archaic English units. I
    guess it makes it easy to calculate.

    Whey concentrate tends to cause a lot of farting. Much less so with
    whey isolate, but it tastes more bitter. A mix tends to work best for
    me.

    Only a true connasewer tastes his farts for bitterness.

    One that makes you fart and taste bitter? You've succeeded.

    On farting, not whey protein.

  6. if you're gonna take a protein supplement, which i think is unnecessary
    anyway, the only one that i've found not to make me sick is isopure.

    really, if you just eat meat at every meal and don't allow yourself to
    get too hungry, you should be getting enough protein.

    Correct. And you don't even need to eat meat at every meal.

    Neither. 1-1.4 grams/kg of *ideal* body weight is enough. Don't
    waste money on protein.

    "I need a lot of protein to get big and strong." A myth that
    just won't die.

    I'm open to listening to this. I'm always open to revising my thinking.
    So, just as Williams has done, please point out some research that supports
    your view. I'll read it if you'll present it.

    you could always do the research yourself.

    That's not the point. I'm not the one handing out very opinionated advice
    here. If he's going to take issue with people here that have supported
    their viewpoint with research, don't you think providing some support for
    his claim is in order?
