Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

.ok so try drinking lots of calorie rich beer and only get like 75g of protein and tell us how it goes.Originally posted by madgame
Lately, I've been wondering whether the (almost) 1g of protein per lbs of body weight..or well ok rather 0.8 on average (considering I have days when I dont eat the way I plan to) is really necessary. I've tried consuming less like 2 or so years ago and I obviously got wrong results. But then again, it was because I ate a lot less food in general (because I didnt need to eat so much to get the protein). My guess is, that even though you do need more protein than the average person who doesn't work out, a lot of guys are fooled by this "you need a **** load of protein to grow" statement that everyone who works out gets to hear. Maybe it's really more the calories not so much the protein (though youll most likely still need more protein than the average joe who doesnt want to build muscle). When I play sports a lot and dont make up for the calories I burn, but still get enough protein I wont gain muscle or strength either. So maybe it's the same thing in general. Maybe you dont need all that much protein and would be fine if you ate more in general (and thus didnt have to force yourself to eat the same boring food every day just because its so high in protein). I mean I know guys who have actually not the slightest idea of the fact, that they (are supposed to) need protein to put on muscle, but still did through working out. But then again, I plan on having finished my mass gaining cycle after several years in one year at the most from now on and thus Im not gonna experiment with that and just keep eating my rich in protein foods
How do yall feel about that though? I bet some of you just believe protein is THAT important because thats what being told to you 24-7 if u work out. But to those who have tried out either way (lots of protein/not so much protein) like me --- have you ever tried either way (lots of protein/not so much protein) with roughly the same amount of calories consumed?
Every time you put 'maybe' you weaken your argument, which, considering you are arguing directly against researched and proven science, was never very strong to begin with.Originally posted by madgame

Yeah, actually I meant to say my point isn't strong at all and I'm not gonna bother trying to change my fairly high protein intake now, if I dont plan on trying to gain mass for any longer than another 12 months at the most. In fact I'm leaning towards I need that amount of protein, but I just had the thought that maybe me and a lot of other guys are wrong about that, because we basically just believe what we're being told..Ive tried eating less protein and didnt stagnate, but looking back at that time I have to say I ate way to few calories during that time (because I get all my protein from foods). No need to dismantle my "argument" or anything, I was just wondering maybe, etc.
That's how I've felt too for a lot of years until now and Ive done the same thing, but: did you make an effort to keep your caloric intake constant? Because..if I did try to eat fewer protein now my caloric intake would probably only reach 3000 cals when I obviously need like 3800+ to keep adding strength/mass (Ive made that experience before...when I play sports for example i have to eat so much more food to be able to pack on mass so I think I have a good feeling for the caloric intake i need).
