holy shit dude. how in the world do you manage to eat 250-300 grams of protein a day?!! is that supplemental or total?

Eating too much protein will just turn into fat. Ideally you should consume 2.5g of protein per Kg of body weight. If you goal is to build muscular mass then you should concentrate on eating lots of complex carbs with low glycemic index. 6.5g per Kg of body weight of cabrs is ideal for mass. Now don’t forget about fat which is also used as energy source by your body. 1g of fat per kg of body weight is ideal. Remember if you increase fat in daily intake lower your carbohydrates and vice versa.

1g of fat per kg of body weight? Jeez, that sounds like an awful lot, bro.... I doubt I have 25% of that......

Its easy. What do you mean by supplemental. I dont know about all this kilogram bullshit but in good old america, we strive for about 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight.
