What's the point of working out intense if you can't build muscle. We need to keep our bodies in protein synthesis 24/7. Meaning our bodies will be in muscle building enviroment instead of a catabolic state. When you increase your lean muscle tissue your body will burn fat.
I would do a little more research if i was you.300 grams is way too much for his size and his caloric intake.he will end up in a hospital if he takes in 300 grams of protien a day.I am not trying to argue with you but i am just stating facts. 1 gram per pound of body weight is even too much for your average person and this guy is average.You are advising him to take in 1.5 grams per pound which is way too much

Of course his caloric intake is way too low, that was one of my 1st comments. The guy needs to at least get 1 gram per lb. with as much exercise as he does. I personally think more exess protein is better than a lack of protein....if you take it right and you are right about watching out for the kidneys.
 
I am currently in the process of opening a few nutrition stores so I spend alot of time researching every product available in the market. There are many products out there that are garbage and would never take.

Is nobody listening to me at all?
 
He's five ten / 220 and does hours of ellipticals and has been eating healthy.
 
 
That means he does not build muscle whatsoever.

For the protein gram record.............
 
I've been eating about 160 per day according to my completely updated web calorie counter and I don't see any muscle loss. 
 
Got 2 pounds of baby gut to go but don't think have lost any muscle in an 12 pound reduction from 193 to a current 181

Too paranoid here to handle any muscle loss so lift heavy (for me) at least once week per body part.
 
In the meantime, aerobically going nuts.

Put it this way, would rather be tad over with muscle than skinny.
 
But getting skinny lately
 
It feels weird.  Feel like I'm 12 years old

Me too but it appears that you are giving him the diet of Lawrence Taylor when what he really needs to do is start some heavy training first..... and not talking the elliptical.

Not a trainer here so feel free to balls but this guys needs to amscray that elliptical and start doing pushups asap.

I don't know what he is doing as far as his training goes but his caloric intake is very low.
 
I do cardio 6 days a weekfor 30-45 minutes but i make sure i keep my heart rate in a fat burning zone. Once again I try everything possible to not use muscle as a source of energy. Get that heart rate cranking and you will end up looking like a kenyan running a marathon.

And shrimp has never done an hour of elliptical
 
Aerobically going "nuts" is about 15 wind sprints OR about your 45 minutes of breathing but under nonelleptical formats.

I was in the same boat as the guy who started this thread.  I went from about 225 to lean 190 in about two months on low-carb, high protein diet.  I read about a year ago on one of those doctor websites that you want the amount of protein grams to equal the amount you want to weigh.  (I.E.  If you want to weigh 190, take 190 grams of protein a day).

Providing clean protein 5 times a day to add up to 200 is not a piece of cake.
 
Hard enough finding 30 grams of protein in a good meal and you think you can do that five times a day?
 
Bear in mind breakfast is fiber and carb time.

This is not show or stage time, we are just in a forum talking about fitness and stuff.

If you want to kick our ass, then go for it

3-4 shakes a day at about 40-45 grams of protein. Mind you i am getting my glutamine fix with each shake. i take a real clean protein mixture with 4 types of protein (time released) low in fat and the carbs in the protein are dietary fibers.
Breakfast is usually about 7 or 8 egg whites and some oatmeal and maybe a banana. The egg whites are about 30 grams of protein. So i am starting my day with close to 80 grams of protein. I usually have no problem getting my 250 grams plus a day.

I don't understand his theory on this. You can take protein shakes all day, if they had no fat and carbs, and unless you are working out extremely hard and they wont have much of an effect on your weight. A whey isolate might stay in your system for an hour and that's it.

Well, you certainly have the protein covered.  That's very hard for most people.
 
Do you ever cook dead chickens?

  Cool
 
If you wanna kick somebody's ass though to blow off steam, I would recommend Timber9, he gets all fucked up and stumbles into the food/fitness room few times a week.  The guy is a mess and needs lots of straightening outs.
 
I'll help you any way I can.  I do know he likes to barbecue goats though.
