Where the fuck do you lads get 350 grams of protein every day? That's fucking half a pot of whey powder, 2kg of chicken or like I don't even know how much GOMAD
>>38538584
Are you fucking retarded? The sticky is full of horseshit. 0,8 grams of protein per pound of body weight is enough.
>>38538584
You don't need that much really.
Just aim for 150g daily and you will never have an issue unless you're fuckhuge.
PER LEAN POUND OF MUSCLE RETARD
>Find BF% (for example 20%)
>You weight (for example 180lbs)
>180lbs * .80% = 144lbs
>Body is ~60% water
>144lbs * .40 = ~57
>Round up.
>60lbs.
>Bones are ~15%.
60lbs * .85% = 51lbs (Rounding to 50lbs).
50 POUNDS * 1 = 50 GRAMS
THAT IS HOW THE ~50 GRAM DAILY PROTEIN INTAKE IS OBTAINED
THATS TWO SCOOPS NIGGER

He's right, Protein is overrated as fuck, carbs are so much better to build muscle, protein should be only like 30% of your diet
>>38538617
are you saying he only needs 50g of protein...
im 190 lbs and i get away with 100g protein everyday
>>38538617
low quality bait, c for effort
>>38538624
Yes, to maintain.
As per scientific government guidelines, that is how they obtain that number.
Go higher if you need to grow.
>>38538584
Someone will probably post it but it's 1g or 1.5g per kg of lean mass (weight - bf) for elite athletes
The sticky is out of date and full of bits that are wrong but it's still a great starting point
>>38538634
you're also kinda DYEL.
try talking to successful lifters who've managed to get big and strong and ask them about their protein intake. it's pretty much always quite high.
>>38538642
Have you taken into account hat your body is not 100% efficient at absorbing every gram of protein you eat?
>>38538584
I found the pic
Fuck...I'm only getting like 80-100 grams a day
6'0' 145lb

>>38538697
So according to this graph, if I'm getting 1g/kg any more would be completely unnecessary.
>not eating 1lb of protein per gram of bodyweight
>>38538728
If you are sedentary yes
For an endurance athlete ~1.4g
Strength ~1.8g
Read >>38538701 this article is short and sums it all up pretty nicely
>>38538701
>that webm
dude i had so many anxiety attacks just watching that
holy shit is right
>>38538701
In the article they make several mentions of the only exception to the 0.82g/lb limit is beginners, but they don't say what beginners should get! Anyone?
>>38538777
Nigger .82g/lb is the MAXIMUM the body can absorb. Take that much
>>38538792
>>38538864
0.75g/lb if you don't have elite genetics.
1g/lb of LEAN bodyweight is about as good as it gets
