How many meals of protein do you consume per day?

[headtrainer]

How many meals of protein do you consume per day? I consume protein 5 times per day. I consume approximately 250 grams of protein daily split into 5 meals.

 

[Flex500]

I do 4 but I don't eat my first meal until about 11am. Roughly 11am, 2pm, 6pm, and around 8-9. I also eat about 250 grams a day. Usually one of my meals has 80-100 grams of protein (usually the pre bed meal) and my first meal usually has around 70 and middle two around 50 grams or so.

If for some reason, I can’t get in five meals of protein, I’ll do 4 meals of protein exactly as you described.

I've been pushing mine a bit higher and working up close to 275 at this point. I generally do better eating more protein, lower carb, moderate fat. I'm just a little guy now though

The very high protein night meal always really helps me sleep especially when my calories are a bit lower like they are now. I usually make that a very enjoyable meal as well.

yeah we are very similar I'm 220 this AM but I do have some fat to lose...dexa had me at 11% but no way I'm that low. I honestly think it's more like 14-15% bf. I really feel like I'm in "no man's land" and now that I'm passed my "glory days" I don't know if I want to push the food and bulk up a little or get lean. At 200lbs I'd look very, very lean...but not sure I want to do that.

I've settled on just training hard and being super consistent on a 240-275 protein, moderate to low carb, and moderate fat diet and really just being consistent and seeing how I can maybe recomp. I've also been on basically 100-175mgs of test a week the last couple years so thinking I may bump that to 300mgs. Should keep bloods great and give me a nice boost. Haven't taken that much in close to 5 years.

what kinds of foods do you mostly eat for your carbs? Or do you just diversify a lot?

no its pretty much only cornflakes (no sugar), corn cakes (same as rice cakes just from corn), blueberries and occasionally i have some bread or pasta

 

[PRorER]

I do almost every single meal but I prefer eating 2 large meals (post workout / before bed) and 6 smaller meals (500cal or less) so for the large meals we’re talking 50-80g and smaller meals anywhere from 15-30g

 

[MackCoach]

Breakfast
Small protein snack like Greek yogurt -sometimes
Lunch
Protein bar sometimes pre workout
Dinner

Not exactly a “bodybuilding lifestyle” diet more like “real life I have to work a full time job” type diet

And I’m pretty jacked at 52 years old

 

[grammo13]

6 meals 40g protein from protein sources only while off season. 50g per meal when cutting. Obviously a little high protein if I counted trace macros

 

[LATS]

I rarely get over 175 grams a day. Example was yesterday .
Breakfast (my usual).. 8 oz milk, 8 oz water, 1/2 cup oats, large banana, tablespoon natural peanut butter, 1 large scoop milk, egg, whey protein blend. Blend it up and drink it down..

Lunch wife fixed me 6 oz chicken 6 oz steak With rice.. rice was roughly 2/3 cup or so.

Mid day premier protein carton

Workout..

Dinner went to Italian restaurant and ate a salad, bread, and Italian rolli.. ( rolled pasta stuffed with ham, cheese, spinach and sauce..

Before bed another premier protein carton..

So when I add it up its roughly 175 to 190 grams.. and some days less. .

 

[TheOtherOne55]

6 meals a day right now.
I only count protein from complete sources (basically meat, egg whites, shakes) and even with that i get 430g from complete sources. Most likely my total protein for the day is north of 500g.

 

[Bobik]

6 meals - about 400g proteins.... never less or I would starve to death lol

 

[primobolan]

I eat when I’m hungry so it varies. Sometimes 2, sometimes 6.

 

[Doitagain]

One gram of protein per meal, 500 meals a day.
Time consuming but worth it.

 

[livinlean]

300g protein spread across 5 meals. Heaviest protein meals being Meal 1 and post workout.
