I'm very concerned with Protein intake and trying to gain muscle mass. I did a lot of research, a lot of it over yahoo answers. Now, heres what I'm hearing when I research: A person who is looking to gain muscle mass, needs to have as much in protein grams per day as you weigh. IE: Weigh 180, you need 180 grams of protein. This can be obtained in foods, but its hard to get all that in food, thats where the bars and powder come in to play. It also says you should work out every other day, and make sure to take the shake within 20 minutes of working out for maximum results. So, after hearing this I started planning a diet to try to get around 175 grams of protein a day. I continued to research and came across articles saying too much protein can be serious to your kidneys and liver, over working them, and giving you a much higher chance of osteoporosis down the road. They were saying they would suggest 50-60 grams of protein per day as opposed to 175. Thats a BIG difference. help?
