I am a senior nutrition student, but that said I am not a registered dietitian yet. However, I think you really should talk to one before you start any certain diet. I have seen the super high protein diet so many times and the fact is that your body can not utilize all the protein, thus you will be excreting most of it unused. Also, with the excess protein, this most of the time causes a deficiency in other areas. While protein does help build muscle, there is a very fine line between the right amount and too much. I have done case study after case study about guys exactly in your situation. That said, since I am not licensed yet, I really think you need to talk to a registered dietitian and then your physical therapist. Together they will be able to give the you the step by step program you desire. Good Luck and if you are in Texas, I can recommend some wonderful sports nutritionist. When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
