Protein????
I need to eat more protein,
but i dont eat meat. I do eat
peanut and almond butter, but
not enough. What are some
foods that are high in
protein?
If you know exactly which ones
and how much that would be
even better. If not, it still
helps.

I'm guessing you have no idea how much protein you need and are giving in to the myth that vegetarians don't get enough. Hell, vegans get enough protein with a normal diet. If you're eating dairy and eggs, I don't know what you're worrying about. |

How to substitute for protein I am 19 years old and I live
in Afghanistan. About 6 months
ago, I got into body building.
It is very hard to find
protein shakes or protein whey
here in Afghanistan, and even
if you do, it is cheap
quality. I have been body
building for 6 months now, but
I havent gained a lot. What
kinds of food or drink has a
high level of protein? How can
I get sufficient protein for
body building without having
to buy protein shakes or
protein whey?

How much protein should I be I've been body building for
about 6 months now and I'm not
sure how much protein I should
be taking. Some people say
about 30 grams a day and
others say 1 gram / lb of
weight.
I'm 6'3", 220 lbs with about
18% body fat (and going down).
The other thing is when I
should be taking the protein?
I do take the protein shortly
after a workout session, but
do I need to take more protein
on the off days as well?

You should be getting 1.5 - 2 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight. Protein consumption should be all day long with about 2.5 hours in between meals. Pre and post workout meals should be the most important. Drink plenty of water in conjunction with eating frequently throughout the day. |
