is the 1g protein per 1 lbs body weight a meme

Yes, try 0.75 g/lb

>>41329774
how much is that for me? i'm 75kg

>>41329793
Bodyfat estimate?

It's more like 1g protein for 1lb bodyweight not including fat. So if you are 200lbs at 10% bodyfat you should eat 180g of protein.

>>41329805
25-28%

>>41329847
Anywhere around 120 grams and you should be solid

>>41329938
thanks senpai thats a lot tho

if you have to take more than one scoop of protein supplement a day, you just aren't eating enough.

also, the whole gram per pound of body weight, whatever ratio, is fucking pseudoscience at best. There is a fixed amount of protein you can take every day and still grow.

>>41329947
he fucked up the calculation, you only need 90-110

>>41330122
thats better

try per lean body mass instead

>>41329757
yes

>>41329947
Just eat half a kilo of chicken breast and that should be enough.

>>41329757
1g/kg of bodyweight is enough.

>>41329822
what about bones and other tissue?

>>41330305
nice meme

>>41330330
so 70? really?

1g protein per 1 lb of LEAN body weight.

Most of you should be between 100-160g protein a day, at most.

>combats broscience by posting more broscience

>>41329757

It is 0.8 gram per KILOGRAM bodyweight.

Explain this fags.

I ate at a 1000 calorie deficit and lost 50lbs.
Afterwards I was weak as hell and had like no muscle mass.

I ate 1g protein/lb.
It doesn't work.

>>41331588
Your body will just use muscle for energy when the deficit is too high.
There's a limit on the rate in which your body can burn fat for energy. That rate is determined mostly by your overall fat mass. Once your body needs more energy than what you provide with food, and what it can burn from fat, it will also turn to muscle for fuel.

Tl;dr needs more calories

>>41331635
Also most of that protein you ate was not used to build any muscle, it was used as energy, like it was carbs

A slower diet could have saved you

>>41331588
>didn't eat enough fat and carbs so your body had to use calories from protein to sustain itself
>lol why didn't all my protein go straight to my massles guise

noggin stats: joggin

>>41331588
Too high or defecit and when cutting you should be aiming for a much higher 1g/lb ratio. AT LEAST 1.2 but 1.5 would be on the safe side.

The academy of Nutrition and Dietetics reports that bodybuilders require 1.4 to 1.7 grams of protein per kilogram, or about 0.63 to 0.77 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day and that 1.4 to 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram is required to build muscle mass.


Now everyone fuck off.

>>41331588
>1000 calorie deficit

Fucking stupid.

>>41331718
>bodybuilders

>>41329757

it's suppsed to be 1g per kg

>>41331588
Protein synthesis requires glucose/insulin to work. If you didn't eat enough carbs your protein consumption won't do shit.

Pick up any biochemistry textbook, this ain't even broscience, bro

>mfw 60g is slightly more than what I need to eat

>>41332814
using per kg, not lb, by the way.

>>41331718
>bodybuilders

A metastudy of dozens of trials shows that muscle gains even in top athletes top out at about 1.6gkg of LEAN mass. Some very, very rare outliers top out at 1.8.

Those same athletes are able to make some very small gains or at least maintain muscle on much less.

>>41332097
This. Eating some carbs with your protein is goat. If you're saying not either carbs or fats you're setting yourself up for failure no matter how much protein you shove into your mouth (or peehole.)

>>41332097
>>41334937
protein provides enough of an insulin response

>>41329757
yes, but I get that much anyway

>>41331588
you were weak as hell and had no muscle mass at the beginning of your cut

>>41331657
1000 cal

>>41336138
hit post too early

1000 cal deficit is not that much, it should be easy to retain muscle on that deficit

the losing muscle while cutting thing is vastly overstated, it does not happen that easily

>>41330693
Do you think proteins only build muscle? Your organs and most tissues need proteins (among other things) for sustenance
