Quoted message said:Hi everyone. I have a few basic questions to ask. I'm a 22 year old
male, 225 lbs, 6'2", bmi of roughly 29-30. I'm considering changing my
diet to 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fat with 1800 calories. I have
figured out how to do it with 5x cheese sandwiches on whole wheat and
5
scoops of protein powder. I've lived most of my life with maybe 10g of
protein consumption per day. I just learned a bit about nutrition and
am trying to incorporate it into a gym plan.
And where did you learn about this nutrition from a weight lifting gym
rat or Power Lifting magazine? 40% protein is bit much and will really
tax you system.
Quoted message said:3. How safe will this regime be (I've never had that much protein
ever)?
I'd do some homework on excessive protein consumption - you may not like
what you read.
""Question: When I enter 35% for my protein intake in your Healthy Body
Calculator, I get an error message that 35% is too high. I am a
weightlifter and this is not 'unreasonable'. Please fix this or find a
way to enter whatever values we would like. I like your page and would
like to keep using it.
Ansser: Actually, protein intakes above 20% are not recommended based on
current research, even for weight lifters. High protein intakes stress
your kidneys and do not result in greater muscle gain.""
Excessive protein also leaches the calcium from you bones.
Quoted message said:4. Can muscle soreness and stiffness be attributed to longterm lack of
protein?
Can be attributed to a thousand different things to include something as
simple and doing too much lifting, running or pogo sticking and not
allowing a proper recovery interval and nothing to do with diet.
