I am currently taking 2 and a half table spoons of protein powder with water, 3/4 times a day. Is that too much or not enough to get definition and increase strength?

Is this so I keep my muscle or is this how much I need to gain more muscle? Shall I consume like 50-75 more grams of protein so I gain more muscle. Please answer.

You are a big fella, and i think you should go have your body fat index measured by a qualified professional instead of an online calculator. Keep up the good work though, 50 lbs. in two months is great. and Christian You calculated wrong, you forgot to convert the percentage into a decimal.....it should be 65 X .071=4.6....65-4.6=60.4 X 2.75=163 grams.

I currently weight 325 lbs., and my body fat per your calculator is 31%. Using the calculations you've given means that I would need 281g of protein per day. Is this right? Can my organs handle that much? My goal is to get down to 260 and then re-evaluate. I do 40 min. of cardio per day, and about 45 min. of weight training 5 days per week. I do 1 hr of cardio in the middle of the wk to break it up, and 30 min. on Sunday w/ no weights and hit the sauna for 20 min. I want to lose the fat obviously but I would also like to replace it with muscle. I don't want to look like one of those people that lost alot of weight but have extra skin just falling about. I'm getting about 150-170g of protein per day right now, but I'm afraid to go too high because I don't want anything clogging up or organ issues. I need some good advice, please if anyone can help.

I weigh 144lbs (65kg) then my body fat percentage was 7.1 soooo 65 X 7.1 = 46 65-46=19 then 19 X 2.75= 52(52.25 if u wanna get technical) so 52 grams of protein is my ideal amount of protein to consume per day to build muscle right? …. it said i needed like 50 grams…. i dont get it….
