Yeah that I agree.

Fuck stairs. First squats in 4 weeks yesterday.
Paying.

So you're talking about < 6 shakes a day? I wouldn't say it's not "that much". Also consider absorption and utilization are not the same thing. I suppose if you're fcn killing it every time you go to the gym you're utilizing it. Personally I'd rather do about half that (@185lbs), alternating release types depending on my activity. It's probably easier on your kidneys also.

i have 2 shakes. 1 with 1 scoop and one with 2 (post-workout).
And no, im not utilizing it 100% since im still lifting very low weights. But im pretty sure my calorie-counting app is a bit off, but it is definitely 200+. As long as you dont hit 400 regularly theres very little to no health risk.
Its hard to hit the exact amount (which would be 210), but it is what i aim for and I'd rather be a bit over than under.

I only said six shakes because i was going by your example. Where are you getting the other 110 grams? Again I wouldn't say 200 isn't that much. I take in a little less than that myself. Mixing types, saving whey for immediately post w/o. The average person is recommended less than half that. Naturally if you're activity level is high more is better.

300g of skinless chicken breast is around 70g of protein, a protein bar would be approx 25g, 4 eggs would be around 30g.

The average person isn't trying to build muscle.

Right. But we are talking more than twice the recommended daily amount. You're pissing cash away if you just think because you're working out that your body will utilize whatever you throw at it because of that. Again, my seemingly elusive point was that I don't think 200+ grams of protein a day qualifies as "not that much".

Recommended daily amount is simply for a healthy diet. If you want to grow muscle you need to eat around 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight (I'm sure you're already aware of this), studies have shown this to be the case AFAIK.

I do agree though eating all that protein isn't necessary if you're lifting light, because you aren't doing enough to stimulate muscle growth in the first place.

Well on that point for me it goes without saying that it is a lot for the bodyweight of Kampf, as it's 1.5g of protein per lb of BW a day. I usually try to get 0.8 - 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight, though at the moment I'm trying to lose fat so I'm not fussed about being strict on it. I just eat less and try to replace as much carbs with protein / fibre (ie. vegies) as I can.

And yes, it is very important to get the bulk of protein from your diet if possible IMO. I have scoop of whey in my rolled oats for brekky, then the only other times I have a shake is pre and post workout. Rest of the time I'm eating chicken or salmon.

That sucks. Found a short article here that outlines the potential risks of a high protein diet.

My diet isn't all that high in protein, and I do eat fibre every day.

A problem I run in to is i am prone to kidney stones. And Animal Protein is one of the leading causes of them

I am not (afaik). No one in my family, and i eman no one, has ever had them. I assume being prone to themcan be hereditary.
I drink plenty of water and have never had any other kind of kidney problems. So i think im good.

And i fucking hope i dont get them. I read the other day that the pain has been proven (as far as you can proof pain) to be worse than child birth.
(suck it women, some men do know how it feels, and worse. shit excuse)

just fyi, in case you didn't know, eating a proper amount of protein is really important while maintaining a caloric deficit because it's the key dietary factor in getting your body to preserve muscle and burn fat instead.  you should still be eating .8-1.5 grams of protein per day.

I'm mainly not too fussed because I've been working so much lately I haven't had enough time to eat properly. My work consists of me staying at work overnight, so 16 hours at work each night for 6 of the last 9 nights... pretty hard.

dont you bring food to work with you?

yeah...  i know what you mean.  my diet has been suffering from focusing on school as well.

interesting app

At the beginning of each week, you set a goal for the number of times you'll visit the gym and name a price you're willing to pay for not meeting that goal. If you miss your goal, you pay the price. If you make it, you receive a portion of the cash collected from all the people who missed their goals. The iOS app confirms you've actually been to the gym through a location-based check-in feature.
