 Consuming the correct number of grams protein is essential for yielding optimal gains. You will want to consume between 1 and 1.5 grams protein per body pound body weight each day. Here is a very easy to understand formula to calculate the number of grams protein you should be consuming: Daily Protein Consumption Formula: Assume for this example your body weight is 175 pounds. 1 gram protein x 175 pounds body weight = 175 grams protein 1.5 grams protein x 175 pounds body weight= 262.5 grams protein You now know that you must consume between 175 and 262.5 Grams protein  each day if you want to achieve maximum gains. If you consume more than 262.5g protein per day your body will turn the excess protein into waste product. If you do not consume enough Protein  you will be depriving your body of the primary source needed to gain muscle. More is not always better; same goes for whey protein consumption. Drinking 10 shakes a day is not going to be the most effective way to utilize your protein supplement. Limit yourself to 2-3 shakes per day. The remaining protein you must consume should come from lean food rich in Protein . Math is not my forte, but this daily protein consumption formula is simple easily understandable formula that you can be integrated into your diet and training programs.
