[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 2766, member: 3"] It would be cool to see how he came up with those numbers. The 1 gram per pound per day of body weight goal has never been validated and it is a hard goal to attain for many. I have never been able to consume 210 grams per day of protein even with digestive enzymes. I think we can build muscle with much less than that. Unless studies are done in metabolic labs where they measure nitrogen uptake with and without exercise, these data are speculative in my opinion. In HIV studies we found no increase in lean body mass in people consuming whey protein compared to placebo. They ones consuming whey had a feed back issue in which their appetites decreased to compensate for the extra calories. Unless we force ourselves to eat without appetite and have good guts and kidneys to handle the extra load, I think only highly motivated people can attain a goal of 1 gram of protein per pound of desired body weight per day. Fat consumption is easier since it is more calorie dense. [/QUOTE]
