My gains have been exactly the same since dropping whey protein.

On rough estimate, I get 80gms of protein from food and have been seeing consistent growth, similar to when I was having the same diet + 2 scoops of whey protein (additional 50gm protein)

Get to know your parents: you never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings: they're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Enjoy your body: use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it: it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

There's also been lawsuits for spiking whey with very small amounts of steroids. All that does is bring down your t production without any of the benefits from the steroids.
Yea i read about that. Forgot the name of the popular whey product that was busted.
If i remember i think there was a dude who did testing on some different companies.
Wish they did one on Bulk Nutrients which is the one i use.

^One of the main reason i only take whey is because of that price.

I would say the least i ate was around 100 grams per day, and the most was around 220 grams per day....since i am not trying to get as huge as possible, i found that protein amount didn't really had any effect as much as total calories

during a cut, i would drop my calories to around 1500-1600...which of course makes the body feel weak and slightly lethargic, but more cut.

On average, eating around 2300 - 2400 maintenance for me, no matter how much fluctuation in Protein content, i never found a difference.

Nowadays, i get around 120-140 grams of protein per day, slightly under 1g/lb and i am maintaining well although i only lift 2-3x week compared to 4-5 times in my middle 20's

If you're only maintaining then you don't need nearly as much protein. You can like get with half as much.

Very true, this is just me eating foods i like, plus gotten used to having chicken/fish/meat twice a day for the last 10 years or so, can't easily change that

Buking and huge amounts and protein is the biggest muscle building myths today. I can't stress this enough.

You'll know when you're taking too much protein when your piss smells of ammonia. I like 1g/lb bodyweight, always served me well.

I hear a lot of people eat 3000 Cals per day. But conservatively, lets use 2000 cals.
if you only consume 100g of protein, thats 400 cals... what does your other 1600 cals consist of? fats and carbs?

Where else would the cals come from?

1g/lb seems to be the best for me when training 6-7 days a week. Soreness on the 2nd day after a workout is a good sign to up protein.
Bench: 115 x 1
Squat: 95 x 2
Deadlift: 135 x 2

Doesn't even lift makes fun of people on bodybuilding site crew.
