it's probably the most common myth spread around the bodybuilding community. some people advocate upwards of 2g.
| quote: | The general rule, in terms of protein intake for size gains has, for some time, been one-gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. Certainly, the recommended daily allowance (RDA), for the general population, of 0.8 grams per kilogram of bodyweight is way off the mark for bodybuilders and other strength athletes.
A nitrogen balance study of bodybuilders demonstrated an increased protein need relative to controls and estimated the RDA for bodybuilders to be 1.7 g/kg total.
In another study, impressive strength gains of 5% and size of 6% were seen over several months of strength training in world-class weight lifters when they increased their dietary protein from 1.8 to 3.5 g/kg of body weight per day. |

anything more than about 10g of whey (that is 1/3 to 1/4 a normal shake scoop) will not get used. in general, all supplements (protein, aminos, vitamins, etc.) should be taken at a fraction of the recommended dose, but at higher frequency. most pro bodybuilders (coleman, etc.) have one shake pwo and that's all. real food is far superior.
think about it... there is a fraction of a gram of creatine in a steak. when you take 3g of creatine in pure form, your body is just going to go "wtf is this shit lol! out the piss pipe for you". this applies to almost every supplement in existence.
