Lately I read that the human body cannot use more than 30 grams of protein every 4 hours. If that’s true, how is one supposed to consume 170 grams and more (as I am doing at the moment, trying the Zone Diet) of protein on one day? Any comments?
Thanks, nightmare.
No, it wasn’t a study; it was just an article by someone who claimed to know something about nutrition, so his views could be dead wrong as well. I was surprised reading that anyway…
benny
could you post that study? im interested to see what level of activity level the subjects were and what size/type of body.
check out john berardi’s new article on the t-mag site, he goes into this a great deal.
not true,
There are alot of factors to be taken into consideration.
I am sure Pee Wee Herman needs less protein than Ronnie Coleman.
Ronnie weighing about 300lbs - I am sure he can handle more than 30g of protein at one sitting.
Things to consider:
- Age
- Male of female
- weight and BF %age
- Activity level.
- Type of exercise program followed.
- Stressfull lifestyle or not
- Time of day
- What you have just done.
- What you typically eat.
thats only the ones I can quickly think of.
zoom,
sorry dude - thats what I get for quickly scanning the previous posts instead of reading them thoroughly.
My post wasn’t aimed at you personally - As you can see I am with you on that one.
Zoom,
No word on Ian - I also heard that he was doing 400s, but, he seemed to say this was only to help him with the 200 - which he considers his main and best event.
This was a while ago - so I do not know what he is doing for sure.
