Diet ?

[Scott Stevenson]

Powerof2,

I'm not sure really where to start with you post, as the information and questions are far too jumbled for me to make sense of. (See below.)

After digging into the protein consumption debate I decided to spend my night gathering information on exactly what takes place with in the body with the excess. Most of this I have read or watched videos ect on but never put it all together at one time. So the body can convert around 20g of protein into muscle a day if ur very luck?

This would be extraordinary and equate to ~35lb of muscle mass in a year (off the top of my head).

> And maybe use another 50g give or take for muscle sparing?

I have no idea what you mean by this.

So what happened to the rest.

Protein no used for replacement of protein broken down or added to tissues (e.g., growing muscle) is stripped of it's nitrogen, used for gluconeogenesis (and oxidized), or or oxidized to acetyl-CoA, either used then as fuel or (much less likely) contributes it's carbon chains to fatty acids in the triglycerides stored in fat cells.

From what I can see it is turned into fuel ( carbohydrates i.e. A longe way about it) so why not give it what it is going to do any way.

This non-sensical to me.

I'm not saying consume 70g of protein a day. ( bare in mind I'm thinking actual meat protein and not sources from grains nuts ect) 400-500 like I do is just a waste. Further backing up digestion. So if one is try to eat 5000 calories a day and is trying to keep his fats down how would this look diet wise? 605 carbs 55%- protein 330 30% ( just going of fitness app that adds all protein. I have found u can drop 50+ for other sources other than meat coming to around 270 ish) and fat about 70 15%. What do u guys think especially scott

This just kind of comes across as gibberish to me. (I don't know what "drop 50+ for other sources..." means, for instance.)

If you have the FT book, I actually have an EXAMPLE 5000kcal / day diet there.
