What is the reason for you using the protein? To gain? If the amount of training, calories and, yes, protein are enough then you'll gain muscle. If it's too much you'll getting fat and if it's not enough you won't be gaining. Simple enough??
 
for your weight 200g of protein a day is too much. you don't just throw food at your body like crazy unless you just want to get fat.

you build quality muscle mass OVER THE LONG TERM. by getting on a proper workout program, and eating clean food.. eating muscle food. stay away from kiddie food.. you won't grow off pop tarts, frosted flakes, cookies, ice cream, fast food, chipotle, and that other garbage i see 20 somethings eating everyday.

Because of the simple fact that if you don't eat enough (meaning caloric surplus) you are not going to build any muscle no matter how much protein you eat.
And the reason why he probably asked that question is the fact that you have been training for 4 years but weighing only that much which indicates that you probably have not been supporting your training with adequate nutrition.
 
I gotta say the weight thing caught my eye too. That's about 60-kilos. I dumbbell hammer curl more. It suggests he's not eating enough full stop. Of course he may be real short in height too

1g to 1.5g of protein max per pound of bodyweight. The rest of your calories should be fats and carbs curtailed to your macro requirements

Ok. So the numbers are all over the place a little.

132lbs is 60-kilos. Which is what you weigh now (although around 10% bodyfat).
68-kilos is 149.6lbs. So a LOT more (relative to 132)
57-kilos on stage (just a few months ago) is 125.4lbs.

Now I know that the Indian guys tend towards a lighter frame (small joints) and you're short but not crazy short at 5'5". #

So the question I asked is the same - are you (and do you) wanna get bigger, heavier and or add muscle? If so and you're not then you add more food and protein (it's at a decent level now for what you weigh). If you're happy as you are leave it where it is and if you're adding fat (doesn't look that way with the abs being visible) then lower it.

I want to go big gradually off course but some of my mates are saying that i am wasting my protein all together and my liver and kidneys will be in too much stress if i go around 200-250 at this body weight. little confused about that and i abruptly wrot this post. [emoji1]
but thanks to you for your time.

look bro, just post a picture because a lot of the meatheads on here don't understand what being a shorter guy and ripped looks like. to them if you aren't atleast 250 pounds you need to 'eat more'

just saying 'hey guys i weigh 130 pounds' is like the weight we use to warm up with so it isn't going to get you responses that are helpful if you get my drift.. btw i train a super light weight who weighs what you weigh and he is ripped to the bone.. super super small bone structure, so for him to 'bulk up to 150' would mean he would get fatter. so people on these forums don't 'understand' if you know what i mean

a picture would help

and my last advice is DO NOT LISTEN TO FRIENDS OPINIONS. they don't have your body structure or genetics. so what the fuck do they know about what works for you and what doesn't.

exactly what i thought. you look fantastic.


just eat when you feel hungry and eat clean. don't pay any attention to the scale and how much you weigh.. keep killing it in the weight room and good things will continue to happen. you have the perfect base for your age and don't fuck it up by throwing tons of food at your body

dude ignore all the meathead logic you have heard. don't listen to it. people are going to tell you to eat this much protein, that much carbs, this much calories, count your macros blah blah blah.. just ignore it and stick what you been doing. these perma bulkers telling you that you are doing things wrong only know to eat a lot of food and stick their ass with steroids. they got nothing more to offer.. any brainless monkey can do that and 'get big'.. i'm not impressed at all sorry.
