Just curious for all those bodybuilding champs out there, i pay close attention to my protein intake, i ran a report on the past 90 days of protein and the highest i achieved in a day was 273G. On average i eat 200G, i weight 185. wanna see if anyone else pays any attention to their intake, and if anyones has had a crazy high amount

    The highest I've ever logged (and probably ever had) was I think 353g in early-mid December.. so far this year my high is 333g and I've averaged roughly 273g daily.

    I think some of the craziest days are when you get a lot of protein on a lower calorie day. Friday I managed 265g on just a 1640 calorie intake.

    I'm believing the high protein intake I've kept up has really helped me maintain (and even in some cases further) strength during my "cutting" phase.

    Mine's about 330g. No supps or shakes to get there either. Usually, I get about 200-250g.

    @UCB - Nice! 353 is intense. after i made this thread i strived to break my record, and i hit 300! first time ever, i kept ending up in the mid 200s. not today!

    @mcb - with no shakes? you're crazy man, did you just eat chickens live?!?

    I'm not sure I could ever hit those high numbers without significant supplementation, lol. I'd have to gorge on Greek Yogurt, egg whites, and chicken!

    I keep hearing about quinoa lately though so I'm kind of tempted to check it out and see what it's like.

    I tied my year-high so far, got 333g today. Could have been higher for sure but I like to sprinkle in some empty calories on my surplus calorie days. Nothing at all wrong with mid-200s I'd say, I think that is still plenty in most scenarios! I think my fascination with a high intake pretty much boils down to the fact that I LOVE food, could eat almost anything in absolutely gruesome quantity, and protein keeps me fuller and my mind off of food more.

    My highest since tracking is I think 209. On average I get around 190 grams or so. Since tracking I realized I was shorting myself every day when I was ballparking it.

    No, humans...:devil: jk :laugh:

    I eat mostly chicken, fish, eggs, pork, turkey, milk, nuts and vegetables to get the protein whilst trying to keep the fat content down (which is v. hard).

    It suits my tastes really well, plus I'm not keen on shakes of any description. I'm not slamming them or anything, just a personal choice.
