On extreme protein intake

Yes it's obvious to see that successful PLers and BBers eat an insane amount of protein everyday but you always get skinny dudes and fat dieticians quoting some government study that suggests eating a tiny amount of protein is enough.

When I was younger ( 14-24) and wanted to gain muscular bodyweight, I did the following eating plan.

First, I would stock up the fridge on quality proten items such as soft boiled eggs, chicken breasts, swiss cheese, sirloin burgers, and would put all of this in a large tupperware container in the fridge and during the day would snack out of it, at least every hour would eat 2 eggs, or one of the meat items and then at night, would get up and eat as well.

In addition, would eat regular meals, usually big salads and tons of fresh vegetables and maybe some brown rice.

I would also take a high fiber supplement as well.

This worked especially well when I had been training real hard for the previous 4-6 weeks and had hit a plateau.

this worked especially way over three day weekends, such as Labor Day ( approaching soon)

The results, I always achieved incredible solid muscle and strength gains in the weeks following this eating plan.

I can see where you're coming from but I can also see where the "skinny dudes and fat dieticians" are coming from. I say it's all a knee jerk reaction on both sides. And yes, I'm saying both sides are guilty of going to extremes. The nutritionists and/or dieticians you're talking about are not looking at the big picture but are towing the line of their peers instead. I see no difference in the sporting community where just because certain individuals eat a huge amount of a particular macro nutrient, all now have to get on the band wagon and do likewise. I mean if someone is growing fine on (say) 2g of protein/kg, why increase it to 3 or 4 grams just because someone else is doing it! Steroid dosages are no different here either since paranoia reigns supreme in the sport of bodybuilding (and possibly other sports).

The formula is, the less your calorie consumption, the more protein (and more quality protein in that) you have to consume, and the higher your calories are, the less protein (and less attention to quality is the norm).

What taught me the above? Experience.
