nocfgs Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Anyone know how much protein there is in beef. I have never seen a nutrition facts on the package. Also I heard to gain musscle mass you should increase your protien to one gram per pound of body weight. Any one know if this is true?

Any one know if this is true? if you are working out i think its about 1.2 - 1.5 pro per body weight. not 100% about that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ou812 Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 On a gram to gram basis I'm not exactly sure how beef protein breaks down.On the biological value scale (BV) it rates in at about 80. Here's a quick rundown on BV #'s for a few protein sources:Protein Biological Values (BV) Whey Protein 104 Whole Egg 88 - 100 Egg White (Albumin) 88 Fish 83 Beef 80 Chicken 79 (Turkey is just slightly higher I believe)Casein 80 Soy Protein Concentrate 74 Wheat Gluten 54 Beans 49 BV basically rates how efficiently and quickly a particular protein is absorbed by the body.

Thats a great resource what you posted! Awesome.The thang is with some people - at least for me - I've found that *** egg white and whey protein in the evenings is best rather than other items that feel heavier -- totally sware by it . I leave consuming of the beefs and chickens to the rest of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ou812 Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Beef is a very slow digesting protein so it takes some time for it to get broken down, so it's good to satiate yourself with, and actually good at night because since it digests slowly, the amino acids in it will be taken up by your body for a long period of time in to the night.Whey protein get absorbed in about 30-45 minutes, very quick, not a very good protein source to take right before bed to last you through the night.

lalate Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Yep, but its a give and take .. cuz beef is heavy before bed whereas whey (shake) before bed (and after a workout) is not as heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
