Amount of protein in one sitting

Your farts might cause catastrophic damage to the ozone at 3 scoops baw

I mean you can do three scoops and however long your body takes to process it is just whatever, but I think two scoops is plenty in my opinion, just focus on consuming the right things every day and the weight loss/muscle gain (exercise/weight training) should follow suit man.

How much do you weigh? Why are you concerned with the amount in one sitting vs the overall day? It’s not about whether you can or can’t but rather why do you need 75g in one shot.
I shoot for 200g/day.
Wake up: 30 (6a) drink
Breakfast: 30 (9a) eggs/oats
Lunch: 40 (12p) ground chicken
PreW: 20 (4p) drink
PostW: 40 (5p)drink
Dinner: 40 (7p) meat

Let me answer some of these questions. The type is body fortress whey protein. I currently weigh about 230. I started this diet at about 256. I want to get to 195. And i guess i was just wondering to see if it could help me get a little more in and outside of chicken breast it is the most efficient food I eat for nutrients per calories. I’ve been around 1300-1400 calories a day and around 175-195 grams of protein

Banging out 75g at once isn’t gonna do anything, good or bad. What number you’re at when the day is over is all that matters. If it’s the only way you feel you can get to it, fine. At 230, I’d up the total protein. And I’d up the cals. 1300/day is over a 1000cal deficit. You’re losing the muscle you’re trying to build

Ok got a question about calories related to muscle. One of the only online fitness people I take seriously says that building lean muscle has nothing to do with total calories. He says building muscle is a signal dependent process not an energy dependent process. So as long as you are sending the right signals to your body (strength training and eating the right amount of protein) total calories don't matter. He says this is how you can be in a deficit and burn fat while building lean muscle at the same time. I follow this person because he is an actual doctor trained in nutritional research and his thing is debunking gym bros and holistic fitness people who try to get you to buy snake oil or their particular workout plan. Not saying that makes him 100% right all the time as the last 10 years or so have weakened my belief that a degree makes you right or honest.. What is yall's opinion on that subject?

I think you’ll find people that’ll tell you both ways. Who’s right/wrong? Both? Neither? The way I was told is that it’s possible but not likely and may be limited to lifting newbs and people with higher bf%. Whether you can or can’t probably depends from person to person but 1 thing is for sure, it’s not optimal.
Could be one of those things like spot reduction. “Scientifically proven, real world impossible”.

Another thing to consider to you specifically is the aggressive deficit you’re operating out of. You’re not in a typical 300-500 deficit. You can’t be getting enough carbs to fuel workouts and recovery. Can you build in a 300 cal def? Probably. In a 1000+?

Any of them will do because they all put you in a ballpark. They all have an error margin of +/- 20-30%, which is the difference between losing and not losing. I’m not gonna say it’s a guessing game when you start but it’s a guessing game when you start lol. Start with a reasonable number and then adjust as you go.

Keep It Simple Stupid Method

Body Weight x 12 = Maintenance Cals
For fat loss…Subtract 200-500cals. People use 500 because 3500 cals =1 pound so that would create a 1 lb per week loss.
Body Weight x 1 = protein daily intake in grams… that # x4 = calories
Body Weight x .3 = fat daily in grams…that # x9 = calories
Add up the cals from those 2, whatever’s left over = cals from carbs. Divide that # by 4 to get grams per day

Ex: 200lbs x 12 =2,400 (maintenance calories)
-500 (caloric deficit) = 1900

200lbs x 1 = 200g of protein x 4 cals per = 800 cals
.3 x 200=60g fat x 9 cals per = 540 cals

1900 - 800-540= 560cals from carbs
560/4 = 140g of carbs/day

Re-Eval after a few weeks, reduce 100cals (from carbs) at a time
Overly simple but a good starting point

I started this exactly about a month ago now. Started at 200. Down to 192. Probably about 15% BF. Maybe a lil higher. Also running Reta, Tesamorelin & Ipamorelin so my results may be “skewed” lol

wrong, unless you are a novice or extremely overweight, must be in a caloric surplus to build muscle. not a huge one, but still in one.

So it's impossible to loss body weight/fat and build lean muscle at the same time? I thought that was the whole skinny fat thing to try and avoid? Not trying to argue or be a smartbutt just trying to understand.

---

if you are a novice sure or way overweight yea

but most of the time when you see someone recomp and it actually looks like they did, its more they added 5-8 lbs of muscle and only 1 lbs of fat or less.


or they are coming off a long break or juicing

No, definitely not, it can absolutely be done. Healthy calorie deficit and hit your protein goals diet wise. It just depends on how severe of a calorie deficit you do. Too much and you just don't have the energy to do proper workouts and all your energy sources will get depleted for your body to use that aren't muscle tissue. The "bulking" mindset really isn't necessary and a lot of recent studies have shown it doesn't actually do much. A 5-10% surplus over maintenance is about all you'd realistically need if building muscle is the only goal.
