This is a tricky question. You really need to talk to a nutritionist because everyone has different needs.

Generally, you want to eat about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight if you are trying to gain muscle mass and are working out with weights regularly. Some body builders even double that amount. But if you want to just maintain the muscle you have about half that is okay. Protein is so vital to every thing that goes on in your body. Enzymes, hormones, body cells, bone, skin and muscle are all made up of the amino acids from proteins so plenty of protein is essential but balance that with an equal amount of good carbohydrates to give your body the energy it needs to do all things it does.

1200 - 1500 caloric intake means that you consume that many calories in one day, whether you workout or not.

hit the gym, do core excercises like heavy squats, deadlifts, benchpress. those are the 3 main mass building moves. Make your diet high in protein and low in fat. you should be eating at least 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight per day in order to gain muscle.......good luck

Make sure to eat a  meal that consists mostly of low to moderate rated carbs (gylcemic index) to provide energy for your workout appox. 30 min. before. After working out within one to two hours consume a ratio of 4:1 carbs to protein (40 grams of carbs, 10 grams of protein). Then two hours later eat a regular meal consisting mainly of protein. Your total protein intake should be about one gram per pound of body weight for the entire day. So if you weigh 150 lbs. then you will consume 150 grams of protein.

Nothing much, you just consuming extra protein. If you eat too much you will get fat or you will start to have health problems if the %% of set amino acids is over healthy set limits.

Depends on level of exercize, etc. but the average diet is probably between 2000 and 3000 calories a day.

There's no single answer to this question, and your ideal protein intake will depend on your activity level and whether you are trying to gain or lose weight.  Some say that too much protein can contribute to joint pain, but it is generally accepted that active individuals looking to build muscle can safely consume 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight.  Despite the plethora of fad diets out there, the most proven technique for good health is eating a good balance of proteins, carbs, and healthy fats.  I'd recommend a total calorie intake to manage the weight you want, and try to aim for 40-50% of calories from protein, 20-30% from carbs and the remainder from healthy fats (try to avoid excessive amount of saturated fat).

You can take in too much, or too little protein, The recommended daily protein requirements for humans are derived from "ideal body weight". The ideal body weight is calculated based on height and varies slightly for men and women. Our protein requirements can also be expressed in terms of total caloric intake. The world health organization and many national health agencies have independently conducted studies, which (even though they differ slightly) all conclude our daily protein requirement should be between 10% to 15% of our daily caloric intake. \n\nTo calculate your specific daily protein requirement 1) determine your ideal body weight, then 2) calculate your specific protein requirements based on your ideal weight.\n\nTry the link under sources to calculate the right amount for you

hi, don't take any protein formulas that's for sure....\nif you have a balanced diet you need nothing more as it means that you are ingesting all the right amino acids and vitamins. lots of weight exercise will give you what you want. all these people that take protein thinking that it helps them built up their muscles, the only thing that they do is to put a strain on their kidneys. body cannot use more protein just because you are having it. if you think about it, you will see that all these people exercise too much and that is what actually builts muscles and not the protein supplementation. there is a huge number of research on that so play it safe!EXERCISE (weight lifting) and a BALANCED DIET. 2 glasses of milk (300ml x 2) + a portion of fish or meat a day will provide all the protein you need for a day.

Whey protein also eggs, turkey and tuna, need to get your protein intake up to 1 gram of protein per lb of body weight per day and do progressively heavier weights to failure, 3-5 sets, 6-10 reps, don't work out more than 45 minutes to 1 hour per session, no more than 3-4 sessions per week, work opposing muscle groups.  Also good is Flaxseed oil 1 tablesoon/day and don't forget carbs you need good carbs like pasta etc.  Eat 5 to 6 times a day, 400-600 calories per meal.  You have to consume more calories than you burn to put on mass.  You will also probably add some fat but you can burn it off later with light cardio.

Congrats on becoming vegetarian. You are on your way to a healthier lifestyle.\n\nThe average person needs approximately 60 grams of protein per day.  If you are an athlete or someone who is extremely active, you could need more (up to 1 gram per pound).  \n\nThere are some excellent, vegetarian sources of protein. If you go to your health food store, you'll find a plethora of soy-based protein foods that taste good.  Soy milk, dairy products, eggs, tofu, beans, veggie burgers, chillis, etc are all excellent sources of protein.\n\nI recommend that you take a multi-vitamin every day -- one that includes iron / minerals. Most newbie vegetarians often don't eat enough minerals and wind up deficient.  Consider using a free web site such as http://www.fitday.com to monitor your protein and mineral / vitamin intake.\n\nGood luck.

Take in 1200-1500 calories per day.  Exercise 30 min. per day.  If you are a male, then you will need more calories though.

If you are working out to gain muscle mass you should consume 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, according to the trainers. \n\nIn my opinion, the trouble with a high protein diet is watching out for the cholesterol that comes with it.

That is a two part Question Mass is different from Tone.  Lets take me for inst-ens I weigh 200 lbs so I need 200 gram of protein just to keep what I have to get more you add more protein a little at a time with plenty of water and sleep. I had 27 1/2 inch legs 50 inch chest a bicep of 19 inch and weighed 180 ate 5-7k min. cals a day just to stay there. I build mass so easy it's not fun Tone is not me so think of that as well what is your standard build? thick / thin / med. are you big bone or small bone frame ??? That all plays in as a factor.
