i read on more than one occasion that if you're working out and trying to build muscle, you should consume one gram of protein for every pound you weigh. I know that seems a lot but that's what i read. My co worker used to compete in the Mr. Olympia contests in the 80s and even today he takes in about 160 grams of protein daily and he's at around 225lbs. I think it's common knowledge that you should take protein shortly after working out and I've read on a couple labels ie.. muscle tech's protein that you should take some before a workout as well.
As for me I usually take protein drinks 2x a day and I try to get the rest of my protein through different foods.
