TOO MUCH whey protein?

Question

I understand that the rule of thumb for using a powdered whey protein is 1g per pound a day right?

well... i weigh 245lbs, and if you do the math, i simply couldnt afford to take that much a day, financially.

If i take less than that (which i obviously will have to do if i want to use this) then how much will i have to use to still recover properly from my strength training every day?

or will i just have to take the 245g's a day for it to work properly?

P.S: my goal is to lose weight in which i already changed my eating habits and do cardio, but i want to recover my muslces faster while doing strength training also.

Answer 1

you don't need to take 1 gram per lb of bodyweight. you only need 1 gram per lb of lean body mass to maintain a positive nitrogen balance, after all fat doesn't need protein

one of the biggest mistakes that most people make when dieting is not taking the body composition into effect. the caloric requirements of a man at 15% body fat and 25% are not the same, even if they both have the same goal of reducing the body fat, gaining muscle, etc.

Answer 2

there is whey in milk..... drink milk
