    I know all about smurfing protein. What I don't get is half your weight in it. Even a serious bodybuilder only takes like 1gram/pound of body weight.

    By adding all of those together (even the ones he doesn't eat everyday) it becomes perfectly clear that he weighs a very ripped, and toned 400g.

    How Much Do You Need?

    We need protein at all stages of life, for a variety of bodily functions. It's the major component of all cells, including muscle and bone. It's needed for growth, development, and immunity to fight off infections and protect the body.

    The Institute of Health's Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) recommendations allow for a wide range of protein intake - anywhere from 10% to 35% of total calories - for normal, healthy adults. For example, on an 1,800 calorie diet, you could safely consume anywhere from 45 grams (that's 10% of calories) to 218 grams (35%) of protein per day.

    However, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is 56 grams a day for men and 46 grams a day for women. Most Americans have no problem getting this much, but would struggle to take in enough protein to make up 35% of their calories.

    That said, is it possible to eat too much protein? There are no dangers associated with higher intakes of protein - unless you have kidney disease.

    To get the potential weight loss benefit, experts advise aiming for around 120 grams of protein a day. If you want to increase your protein intake, do it slowly over the course of a week.

    To be on the safe side, check with your doctor before adding large amounts of protein to your diet.

    Actually I'm 5'11, 183 pounds. Have a small gut I'm trying to lose. Been making progress though.

    I have a fairly set lifting routine. I have a five day routine, each day focuses on different muscle groups.
    Day 1 - Chest and Triceps
    Day 2 - Back and Biceps
    Day 3 - Shoulders
    Day 4 - Arms and Abs (Core)
    Day 5 - Legs

    I really should do core every day, but I just don't like spending more than an hour to an hour in a half at the gym.
    Also, I try to change up the actual workouts for each muscle group every couple months. It is working out fairly well so far. Though I really feel like I should add some cardio to my routine. And I don't take any health supplements or protein. I work out to feel good about myself, not to get big or ripped.

    2+1/2 hour bike ride yesterday. Not only do my legs feel like sh:- but so do my arms. Leaning forward to reach the low handles far ahead of my seat put a painful strain on my upper back and neck too.
    We also stopped midway and tossed a football like a bunch of idiots. (SPOILER)Then we played in a kiddy park like a bunch of idiots. I climbed up the slides and slide down the ladders like an idiot. There's this thing I've never seen before with a kind of valve wheel on it that you can twist until it goes all of the way up and then hang on it and it spins you. But it's too slow for me that way, I don't like having to lift myself for a measely half-spin. So I kept my foot on the ground and used the leverage to spin absolutely out of control! My glasses almost flew off of my face.
    That was fun. Of all the things I've ever done in my life, very few things are very exciting to me. I like climbing, dropping, flipping, and... definitely spinning!

    I jumped off a children's swing once and almost broke my foot. It's my greatest achievement yet.

If I can't make it, I make sure to at least exercise every day, playing pick-up games of basketball or soccer at the local parks, go for walks and the like. It also helps that I spend a lot of time in NYC since walking is the easiest option of travel there as well.

    For the first few weeks of this regiment I would wake up sore as all hell, but my body has adjusted and now it's just a mild pain in the morning.

    Take care all.
    There is no hesitation in it if you get the gym only three days in a week. The main thing which really matter is that you must concentrate on the routine that is really helpful for you to get the result even with the use of the 3 days in a week.
