dont replace all your meals with protein shakes... the best time to have one is right after a work out so your body can get the most of it. 1-1.5 g per kg of body weight is what seems to be the recommened amount for people who are actively working out.
to get from pounds to kg divid your weight by 2.2

It depends on your activity and goals. Your body can't stock protein (as it does w/ fat for example) so I may suggest you have a new protein intake at about every 3 hours. No use to take it in excess.
Protein necessary intake:
- sedentary: 0,88 gr for each body kg
- moderately exercice: 1,1-1,3 gr for each body kg
- intensively exercice: 1,5-2 or more for each body kg.

yeah it does but it doesnt have that transfat from the hydrogenated (sp?) oils they put in commerical peanut butter that holds it together. all the natty peanut butter is is just peanuts i usally have like 2 - 3 pb+j sannies a day
but its like anything to much of it can be bad for you.

What? One chicken breast on my little George Foreman grill takes 5 minutes!! That's not long at all!! Especially since I eat chicken 4 times a day...Grammaton said:
Natty PB is super-good, but just remember that it is very calorie-dense, so don't go overboard - make sure you are measuring it out.
Egg whites are an excellent source of protein, too. You can purchase the liquid egg whites in cartons (not Egg Beaters) and 'scramble' them in the microwave in less than 3 minutes!
spockafina we are not all bless like you are with a george foreman grill 
i have to bake mine they always come out dry, im doing something wrong i think.
im not a nutritionalist thats just want i found on the net if you think its low double it doesnt seem unreasonable. what ever your body doesnt need it wont use just dont go to overboard with it.

I got my little grill on sale at Filene's for $14.99!Grammaton said:spockafina we are not all bless like you are with a george foreman grill
doctor peter lemon is sometimes referred to as the godfather of protein studies.

Effects of exercise on dietary protein requirements.

This paper reviews the factors (exercise intensity, carbohydrate availability, exercise type, energy balance, gender, exercise training, age, and timing of nutrient intake or subsequent exercise sessions) thought to influence protein need. Although there remains some debate, recent evidence suggests that dietary protein need increases with rigorous physical exercise. Those involved in strength training might need to consume as much as 1.6 to 1.7 g protein x kg(-1) x day(-1) (approximately twice the current RDA) while those undergoing endurance training might need about 1.2 to 1.6 g x kg(-1) x day(-1) (approximately 1.5 times the current RDA). Future longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these recommendations and assess whether these protein intakes can enhance exercise performance. Despite the frequently expressed concern about adverse effects of high protein intake, there is no evidence that protein intakes in the range suggested will have adverse effects in healthy individuals.
