I think your protein intake is very low esp the first 2 meals & dinner, how come?

*shrug*

It's not necessary. Research shows that people on the RDA for protein (0.8g protein per kg bodyweight) can build muscle mass with regular strength training. [Source:- Campbell, W. W., et al. 1995. Effects of resistance training and dietary protein intake on protein metabolism in older adults. American Journal of Physiology 268: E1143 -53.]

Strength athletes seem to do well on twice the amount.

So, as a rank beginner weighing (now) 77-78kg I'd need 62g protein, as a powerlifter or bodybuilder I'd need 134g - though of course I'd weigh more then, so more like 150g.

At this stage, I am not a complete beginner, but nor am I a "strength athlete" - I'm still in that starting groove. So a bit above RDA is good. Less would slow me down, more would just get pooed and pissed out. I am gaining muscle mass, strength and fitness, and losing fat. I also find that high carbs earlier in the day gives me energy for my afternoon workout, and protein later in the day helps me recover from it.

So the diet is working. If it ain't broke, don't fix it

As I pass out of the starting groove I'll increase protein intake. It's just not needed now.

Shrek you must be a muscle monster because i dont eat much protien and i can lift fairly heavy at least i think i can. You should start a diary so we can see how your going Im sure lots of people would use it as a reference for their own routines.

I go for 40gms (approx) of protein per meal. I eat 6-7 meals per day. I don't think that's a lot of protein just average for a BB.
