Why do bodybuilders...

[BBAddict]

have such insane amounts of stinky gas?!! Whenever I'm eating clean and especially when I'm eating a lot of protein, I have a ton of gas. I always have to find a quiet corner at work to drop the bomb and then hope nobody walks by for awhile. I was at Taekwondo last night and got punched in the ribs and let a huge one rip-everybody heard and smelled it!

Does that mean I have excess protein or is it just a product of your body breaking down all the protein...or is something else? I'd just like to have a good explanation for my wife!

I just showed one of my coworkers this thread, because he always tell me I need to see a doctor or something... now he sees that anyone consuming as much protein as I do has the same issue... It's one drawback of this lifestyle that my wife could do without :-)

Screw doing it in the corner bro, just let rip and to hell with the consequences.....

And as for the gas, I can't remember exactly, but I think its to do with the protein breakdown and nitrogen formation....

bro i dont think anyone has gas as bad as me, and if i hold it, i have some major problems.

lol, the funnest thing to do is let a vicious protein fart halfway up an escalator then turn around and watch the expressions on peoples face as they get lifted into it one by one... plus, no one knows it was you

hahaha thats great i could picture that

[JUICE]

hahaha the gas thread. Yeah man i got the same problem too. All the time im fricken letting them rip and thier horrible. I guess we eat too much protein or something. Cause those days i wasnt eating nothing but junk, i wasnt doing them. But since i restarted dieting down again, man thier they go.

Heh, one of my friends says that my insides are rotting due to all the horrid gas.

[Thuump]

yeah I never have stinky gas... until lately... have been drinking 2 protien pitchers a day and farting alot more... heh thats when you know the proteins working I guess... muscles feel alot more dense

[Taylor]

ever since i started consuming alot of protein my gas has been brutal


i've been having the silent deadly ones

smells like rotten eggs....its probably from all the egg whites we eat

i knw when i ran out of protein and i had to just mix eggs w/ the yoke with milk...i could clear a room in a second

its been putrid tho, fortuneatly i haven't really ripped any good ones except at home

[Mr incredible]

Let yer ass go bro, its perfectly normal amongst real men
