Get what you can from food and suppliment a little each day. I suppliment a little over 50 grams a day and I weigh 245 solid and growing. Oh yeah I'm 5'10

In all due respect, you are wrong. Let me explain this more clearly for you. To maintain your muscle or to grow muscle you need about 1.5 grams per pound of your lean body mass, so they basically say to just figure 1 gram per 1 lb of your total weight. To figure that out your lean body mass, you would need to quire your bf%, but like I said, it is more simple to just eat 1 gram per lb of your weight.
Being that you are only 5' 10 and 245, you are obviously very high on the bodyfat %, hell you are actually severely overweight and need to be careful. If you are only taking in 50 grams of protein a day, I am glad you shared this because at 245, you will not be able to keep any of the muscle let alone grow more at the rate in which your protein consumption is at right now.
Eagerly awaiting your reply

*edit* In a thread below this, you stated that you were 250, which although at that weight 5+or- 5 lbs doesnt make much difference, but just realize that unless you are informed try not to guess your way at giving people advice. From the looks of it (since every thread on this page shows that you have recently responded to it), it seems as if you are just trucking for a high post count. There is a nonsense forum for your needs.
