watch yourself beach...treading on thin ice with only 16 posts?

stay with 300-400 grams of protein a day. Your calories are WAY too low. go to a site calculator and get your MATH right. You should be eatting about 2500 calories a day to lose weight properly.

dont be an ass on this website. it will not be tolerated.

300-400g's of protein is kidney murder unless if your drinking a lake of water, becasue he doenst sound like he is more then 160 lean bodyweight

you need to know your bf% to get your protein intake right. find your lean body weight

the math for everyday intense athlete is:
1.4 x lean body weight = protein intake

you dont need half a gram more then this amount.

8pack, although I know many people agree with you on "too much protein is unhealthy", I have to disagree. Most nutritionists say more than 50-100 grams of protein a day is highly unhealthy, and we all know thats not the truth.

I lost 75lbs of pure fat, and I did so by eatting MASSIVE amounts of protein, moderate fats, and very low carbs. My kidneys are 100% a-ok.

i have about 142lbs of lean body weight and i consume 2500 calories on a cut to lose a lb a week. if you weigh 235, you shouldnt be eating 1000 less calories than me, unles your goal is to lose muscle and gain fat

same with me bud, it does make you feel better having taken 2x the amount you need to make sure your good to go as far as the protein but you do not need that at all. it all gets dumped out, puts pressure on your kidneys. Keep healthy by drinking a good amount of water. But again, no need

no...it kept me full. which stopped me from eatting pizza/donut/cheetos/twinkies. when you're hungry, eat protein. if you do that ALL day every day, you can never get fat, lol.

^ well, when nutritionalists say that, they are referrring to normal everyday people. athletes, bodybuilders need more protein as they use up more. With the use of protein, of course you're not going to experience any problems in the short run. But then again, it's like when they say "smoking causes cancer", but someone who has smoked for the most of the life lives a long life.

I am 235 lbs. and use to take in around 300 grams of protein evrey day. How many grams should I take in now that I am on a diet.

Calorie Intake: 1500
Protein Intake: ???

15oo is way too low-sure you will lose weight but most of it will be muscle. I would set calories at about 10calories per lb of bodyweight. so you should be in the vicinity of 2300 calories. If you lose more than two lbs a week-increase slowly. IF not losing decrease slowly. Body fat reduction is not a sprint-you body does not react well to anything drastic. Protein should be about 1 gram per lb. The excessive protein being hard on the kidney-yeah it is possible but we are talking in the area of 5-600 grams per day. But honestly from my experience anything over 1-1.5 grams is overkills

Once you post your diet we can talk supplements Smile
