How much protein do we need

1g/lb is a good guideline, if you can't manage you won't make it.

Why risk taking less?

>>36843831
it's 1g/lb of lean body mass

The sticky is complete bullshit when it comes to the nutricial stuff. Take like 0.8 max. Should be plenty.

>>36843882
Is there a reliable way to calculate lean body mass without water displacement?

>>36843875

What happens if you get a few grams less protein than the max you would need?

Lose all your gains

1g/kg of LBM

Youre all fucking retarded

>t. skinnyfat vegan

I don't know what to believe anymore

>>36844203
Who do you want to believe, the skinnyfat vegans who tell you that you only need forty grams of protein a day so that you'll be more inclined to eat their cuck diet, or the huge ripped bodybuilders of the ages that have all eaten AT LEAST one gram of protein per pound of body weight? At worst, that extra protein will just be converted to glucose, so there's literally no reason to just hedge your bets and go with the vetted bodybuilding values. It's not that hard.

Taking one gram per lb is a good way to get kidney failure

At 6'2, and 180lbs, I consume 140-160g.
Works for me, I could probably go a bit lower, but who cares?
>>36843929
Nothing.
Just don't make a habit of it.
If you're struggling to reach your macros, try whey, or switching from something like rice as a carb source to black beans, lentils, quinoa and etc. Barley is pretty great too.

If you've got shit kidneys, sure.
Higher amounts certainly aren't great though.

Just eat normally and supp with protein shake, it's cheap and easy, too much is better than too little
>1 scoop for cutting/maintenance
>2 scoops to make sure you gain
>4 scoops two or three times a day to leave humanity behind

Do vegans ever feel shame about lying so much, or is it just instinctive?

>>36844660
They don't know better.
It's close to a faith for some people.
Not bashing on veganism, I think it's great.

But people will always be pushy cunts with their beliefs and feelings.

>tfw always too high in protein and too low in carbs
probably the reason i'm weak

Can you snort protein powder for gains?

>>36845558
U should inject. So gainz direct in muscles and no loss in stomach.
