Sorry, did you say 8kg free weights, or is that a typo?
i thought even standard barbells were 10kg by themselves....
that is pretty terrible diet no matter what your goals.
Probably a lot better than most of the population who have a extremely high sugar content diet.
What are your goals? Current weight? Height?
More protein is required at breakfast and lunch.
2.5 gram of protien per kg bodyweight.
That is an extremely high recommendation. It's completely unnecessary. Dieticians, who are highly educated in this field, recommend a maximum of 1.7 grams/kg of bodyweight, and that is for high performance, elite athletes, who strength train. Olympic weightlifters, who have rigorous and frequent training sessions seldom achieve your proposed target of protein in their diets.
Far too many people over-emphasise protein in the diet. It's absolutely a necessary component of our diets, though consuming excess amounts of protein does not correlate with greater gains. You only need certain amounts, whereby excess amounts are chemically modified, usually as a fuel; though I can assure you, most people achieve their daily requirements without even knowing it; so consuming excessive amounts is unnecessary; particularly when you can divert your attention to carbohydrates instead - a far better, more efficient energy source.
The more protein thre the more individual amino acids your body ingests the more glutimine bcaa's ect ect but from your vast knowledge i wouldnt have to tell you that. Regardless of his activies the more protien we ingest the better for our bodies.
As far as AIS ect is concerned i think they reccomend eating muslie bars and rubbish They also promote soy based protein bars and the likes.
Is it not better to have an excess of somehting good for us in our system.
Apparently 100g would be enough for him if he weighs 60kg.
How can you reccomend carbohydrates when you do not know his specific goals?
That is not true at all. We only need a certain amount of protein in order to meet our structural, and functional requirements. Naturally, particular training methods / intensities / frequencies will yield greater protein requirements in the diet - however - as I mentioned in my post above, 1.7 grams per kilogram of bodyweight is the 'ceiling' amount recommended.
I don't get your point here? - There is nothing wrong with achieving protein from the sources you've just mentioned - Though, no one has suggested that to be a problem?. It's the total daily intake of protein that you're recommending that I'm taking issue with.
Not always. Much of what we derive from food and beverages have limits of toxicity. That is, limits whereby pathological responses occur if we ingest too much. While protein is ideally "safe", long-term excessive ingestion can lead to health concerns. Granted, this is a very long-term response.
Correct. 100g of Protein is sufficient. Exceeding this, within reason, is fine. I'm not stating that he must strictly reach this level only. However, your suggestion of "2.5" is highly excessive. Not to mention, when considering the total caloric (or kilojoule) requirement of a 60kg individual who's training for hypertrophy; '150g+' of protein would make-up far too much of their total energy source derivation. I can explain this further if necessary.
The very fact you are asking this question highlights how little you know about nutrition for health, or for exercise. Carbohydrates (CHO) is our primary fuel source. It is the most efficient source of fuel we use. It not only yields more energy (ATP) per gram; though can be broken down or modified for storage in the liver and muscle. While excess protein can be chemically modified into glucose as well; it is more taxing on the body and yields less energy (ATP).
What are your goals? Current weight? Height?
More protein is required at breakfast and lunch.
Im not too sure about my carb needs though. i rarely feel tired (or hungry for that matter) and i dont find it hard to "have the energy" to work out. I dont know if that has anything to do with what im eating though.
