Protein

Yep, "bro-science"

People do have different protein requirements depending on their age, their size, their levels of activity and health. However, those requirements are not as high, and don't vary as much, as some of the popular hype around protein might lead one to believe. The U.S.D.A recommends 5.5 ounces of protein for women 19-30 years old. For all other women's age groups they recommend 5 ounces. For men, 6.5 ounces for 19-30 years old, 6 ounces for 31-50 years old, and 5.5 ounces for over 51. 5 ounces is about 142 grams. 6 ounces equals about 170 grams.

Some nutritionists, and the World Health Organization (W.H.O), believe the U.S.D.A standards are too high. The W.H.O recommends 8 grams of protein for every 20 lbs. for adults. By those standards, an adult woman weighing 130 lbs. would only need 52 grams of protein - less than half of what the U.S.D.A. suggests. An adult male of 180 lbs. would need 72 grams. Again, less than half. The discrepancies between the U.S.D.A and the W.H.O may reflect special interest pressures on those groups. At any rate, one might surmise that the U.S.D.A numbers are at the top end of any reasonable scale.

Here's some of the "THEY SAID" science:
Studies (Tipton KD, Wolfe RR. (2004). Protein and amino acids for athletes. J Sports Sci. 22:65-79; Rasmussen RB, Phillips SM. (2003). Contractile and nutritional regulation of human muscle growth. Exerc. Sport Sci. Rev. 31:127-131.) have shown:

The amount of dietary protein needed to stimulate muscle recovery is surprisingly small, only 5 to 10 grams of amino acids (that's only 20 to 40 kcal of protein).

But you know, who believes these people, they don't have a clue.

I'm not gonna argue with you man but your studies are from 2004 and 2003 bodybuilding is a forever evolving subject the very first "protein shakes" had 2000 calories with only about 10% protein to weight ratio now your looking at 130 calories ranging from 90-100%. Also I was stating what has worked for me and people I know and have met personally its worked and i'll stick to it and If what your saying works for you then thats great give me your regimen and some before and after pics because my protein consumption costs a lot of money and I would love to cut that down IF what your saying actually works.
