Book on Protein intake

Could that website look anymore like a marketing scam?  With all the free information out there from actual experts and reputable sources, I fail to see who would buy this. 

If anyone has $37 burning a hole in their pocket, let me know and I'll give you my PayPal. 

I can just save you the time though and tell you that the book will indicate there there are several studies that indicate you only need about 120-150g (~1 gram/kg) of protein per day to build muscle (+ nitrogen balance).  And there are. 

However, and like that author (who is a whopping 170lbs), those people are around the size of an average house cat with corresponding caloric requirements (as well as a corresponding training age).  As such, the applicability is skewed, and most normal sized folks on this site eat more, and therefore eat more protein (cause steak is fkn good). 

Many many many studies. You are better off browsing pubmed or even googling your questions. Just read the studies the articles use as reference and pay attention to the type of person used - As already mentioned, there is a difference between protein absorption in a sedentary person and an active athlete.
Just base your opinion and eventual knowledge off of actual research not the rumor mill.

Craig your right about it being cheesy..  It just validates the .8-1g per bdy wt..  For those that like to see all the science mumbo jumbo.  I really dont care what the guy looks like..  Intellegent and well researched, than make an educated decision..  There a lot of huge guys doing a lot of wrong things...  Open the mind

IT doesn't validate the .8-1g per, the actual research that is free and readily available validates that.

I agree with a lot of people doing a lot of wrong things, but they could be doing them for a reason too.  I mean you could have semi-intelligent people paying $37 for something that they could look up themselves...that might be considered doing something wrong

Isn't he basically renowned as one of the best drug guys in the business though?  That would certainly be a reason to listen to him, even if his own physical attributes aren't there.  Not to mention coaching for XX years, etc....  Hardly a comparable situation to the author of the book in the OP.

Accomplishments count for a lot in terms of credibility. Research and book-learnin' are great, but I want to see application.

And, spelling counts.

More is better
