  • How do people make sure they are eating enough protien? 2g per kg of lean mass for me is about 135g for me. Without drinking a couple of protien shakes I find it hard to eat enough.

  • FWIW, I was definitely able to add mass without going anywhere near 2g/kg.

    But I guess the main ones would be: protein instead of carbs for breakfast, snack on protein instead of carbs (nuts, boiled eggs, tins of fish), and realistically - use protein shakes.

  • My guess is this really. 1g per lb or 2 per kg is so neat that you can smell the bro science.

    I think protien shakes may be the best solution for me. Also may just aim to have over 100g.

    I'm not actually training at the moment as I'm fixing my knee after full time child care has fucked it up. I'm nearly there now and soon I'll have time to train 3 time a week again. Think I'll put in a concreted effort to build some muscle for 3 or so months then look to maintain as I do other things I like such as running.

  • Weirdly, I've been on a relatively low protein diet for a few weeks (unintentional, just eating almost no meat without replacing it) and i've not noticed a huge change in my gainz.

    I'm probably not beefcaking hard enough though.
