Let's settle this once and for all... How much protein do you actually need? I know the standard bodybuilding ratio is 1 gram per 1lb of body weight, but I've heard that you can go as low as 80g per day without any impact on your gains

.61+ at for optimal growth; adjusted to .82+ just in case.

From what I've read, the absolute maximum any study has shown anyone to be able to utilize is .86 g/lb. That's for high level weightlifters.

Realistically, you can probably do .5-.7 and get the same gains.

I challenge anyone to show me a study suggesting benefits from more.

I weight ~160lbs and consume 100-120 protons

Why would you NOT want to eat more protein, though? It's satisfying and delicious. Just fuckin prioritize protein, bro. Arnold did it.

More protein from food is ok, but trying to get as much as possible by consuming shitton of protein powder is a waste of money and calories
