How much gram of protein should i be consuming in order to gain muscle?

I searched the net and they say eat 1 to 1.5 times your body weight.So if you are 150 pounds you have to eat 1-1.5 times that amount of protein which is 150-225g of protein..But on different websites it says the same thing but instead of 1-1.5 times of your weight in pounds they say in kgs which is if you are 60 kg you have to eat 1-1.5 times of 60 which is 60g of protein to 90 gram!Which makes a huge difference in the two.I am confused can anyone help?Which weight measure should i take?Thanks in advance.ah...spammers.... ;0@chris, is that enough to build new muscles..?i guess no it only help to sustain the current muscles,but thanks :)

I have big calves! How to slim down my legs?

22, been playing tennis since I was 13.
I gained quite a bit of weight especially during high school, lost the weight at the end of high school, but still have big calves. They''ve been pretty ever since I noticed in elementary.

Some of my friends who play tennis have slim legs, and some do not but they all are extremely skilled.
My calf muscles do stick out and my legs/ankles are slim.

Can it be a natural thing? I''m 5''1 and a half at 120.
Any tips to slim them down?


Thanks!
I would be lying if they were pure muscles! Lol!

I played softball too in middle and high school. The darn socks and pants were such a hassle around the calf area!

Holiday Weight Loss Tips - How to Lose Weight During the Holiday Season

Recommended Answer:
Calves are those kind of muscles that are very much determined by genetics. If someone was born with nice calves, they''ll always have nice calves. I''m a competitive athlete, and love the look of muscle. Unfortunately I don''t have those good genes for nice calves.
I''m training my ass of to get them bigger but it is very difficult to change their size, let that be up or downsizing. I would "kill" for big calves (muscle).

You''re saying they''re not all muscle. Well because there''s no such thing as local fat loss, if you keep losing weight, you''ll lose fat from various parts of the body. You can''t really determine from where, it depends on your metabolism, body type and your hormones (and genetics). Normally the "newest" fat goes first. The fat that you''ve been carrying for the longest will be the most difficult to get rid of.

Muscles give shape and curves to the body. Embrace your gift, it just does not look good when someone has stick legs. Be proud of them and don''t think that they don''t look good. It''s the opposite. Nice calves make you look fit and sporty. Since you''ve lost weight, it probably gives you a more athletic look too. Especially if you have small joints. That''s the best combination! You have very good "material" to look phenomenal. Good luck!

PS
Or just give them to me, I would swap. LOL hehe.
God bless

• it depends on if they''re pure muscle if not go hiking to tone them... my calf muscles are very large also because i played softball for 14 years and it sucks because nothing fits right :(

If I quit cold turkey how long will it take for me to feel normal again?
