You don't need 1g per pound, but it's not difficult to achieve even if it was necessary.

>>42019649
It's 1g of proton per kg lean body mass

>>42019649
160 is pretty easy

It gets hard when you get over 200lbs.

I weigh 220 and take in about 50g of my protein from whey. So you really shouldn't have trouble hitting 160 just from food

>>42019676
This.

>>42019649
Is everyone in this thread trolling or what? It depends on how many calories you're eating but if you eat anywhere near 2500 calories, 200 grams of protein is easily achievable. Ever heard of meat? Chicken breast perhaps?

>>42019649
Its 1kg of protein per 100 grams of lean bone mass. How many times do I have to say this!

>>42019649

Actual ressearch says that 0.6-0.7 g per lb of bodyweight is enough. Above that you're wasting money.

>How much protein do you need?
>How much protein you need depends on a few factors, but one of the most important is your activity level.The basic recommendation for protein intake is 0.8 grams per kilogram (or around 0.36 g per pound) of body mass in untrained, generally healthy adults. For instance, a 150 lb (68 kg) person would consume around 54 grams a day.
>However, this amount is only to prevent protein deficiency. It’s not necessarily optimal, particularly for people such as athletes who train regularly and hard.For people doing high intensity training, protein needs might go up to about 1.4-2.0 g/kg (or around 0.64-0.9 g/lb) of body mass.2 Our hypothetical 150 lb (68 kg) person would thus need about 95-135 g of protein per day.
These suggested protein intakes are what’s necessary for basic protein synthesis (in other words, the creation of new proteins from individual building blocks). The most we need to consume throughout the day for protein synthesis probably isn’t more than 1.4 – 2.0 g/kg.

>precisionnutrition.com

sounds scientific

Does anybody have that graph of protein consumption for different athletes? Strength athletes were eating far more than their peers as it gave better performance.

Also, how the fuck are you struggling with protein counts? Add a scoop to your day since it's cheap as fuck if you're struggling or drink milk. 140g of chicken breast has 40g protein according to Google. If you eat a chicken breast for lunch and dinner with a glass of milk and oatmeal with a scoop and a glass of milk for breakfast that's 150g of protein right there. Eat beans as a side to get more.

Protein cannot be that important

>1g of protein per lb. of body weight

Way too much.

How do I calculate lean bone mass?

>>42019772
Is too much protein a thing?

>>42019837
Yes, and you can fuck up your liver, kidneys, and give yourself kidney stones.

>>42019649

There's a study that gets thrown around about 0.82 g/lb of body weight being optimal for trained people, and 0.6 g/lb of body weight not being that much worse. So it's not like you'll see a huge difference if you eat 0.6 g/lb of body weight, but 1 g/lb of body weight is overkill.

It's also not impossible, but it would fucking suck especially when you're trying to eat at a caloric deficit.

>>42019676
Alternatively 2 grams of protein per kilogram of lbm for our European friends

itt: natty cucks

I eat 2g per lb

>>42019649
Eat chicken breast or eggs every meal. Chicken is very dense in protein

0.8 g/lb

>>42019844
When does it become too much? Is lean bone mass also really a thing?

>>42019649
1g per lb of lean body mass ON A CUT
if you're maintaining or bulking you need even less

>>42019649
>when I eat a shitload of protein dense foods I can barely get over 100g
You're doing something wrong. I'm a vegan and I easily get 120g without supplements.

>>42020001
The sticky says 1g/lb on a bulk and 1.5g/lb on a cut.

You need half a g of protein for every lb

Use Whey. It's food. Don't let fggts tell you otherwise.

if you have two healthy kidneys you can go for 1.5-1.6g per pound of bw. barely anyone goes that high so i wouldnt worry about it.

>>42019649

It's really not that hard if you know what you're doing Anon. It's 1g of protein per LEAN lb of body mass. So just eat a bunch of chicken breasts, fish, & eggs. High protein foods that are low in calories.

This is only if you're doing bodyweight and light training and it's to maintain mass. And it's actually 0.76g/lb
>>42019844
Kidney stones? Really? Maybe if you only drink Gatorade and no water.
>>42020001
You need at least 1g/lb on a cut. Psmf puts you at like 1.1 with its calculator.

>>42019649
All you fucking niggers complaining about how you can eat that much or muh info is more correct. You're all fucking small and will stay small.
For instance I'm on a -1000 cal/day cut (but m-muh muscle loss - wrong again bucko, strength and sets are staying exactly the same for weeks now) and I eat AT LEAST 240g protein a day, usually around 270. 80g carbs or less. Only 2-3 scoops of isolate/casein after lifting.

Listen to the Brofessor here! He studied at Broscience Academy for years!!

>>42022595
I've read any noteworthy study from the last 30 years. These are average people. Not average gym-goers. Average. People.

Ask anyone who lifts for a career what they think. Read forums from people with real experience and results.

Or stay a skinnyfat sperglord forever.

>>42022480
1 gram per lb lbm is the upper limit of protein intake sufficient for training. Realistic anywhere between .55 and 1 gram is enough for the purposes of training. That is about 1.2 2.2 grams per kg lbm

1 gram per lb is only used because it's a very easy way to remember. 0.9 is a better measure

Also
1lb != 2.2kg
1lb = 2.202kg

Boogie would have to eat a cow to get his macros in

>>42022670
Maybe if you've been training less than 3 years, are natty, and/or are fat. You can't put on mass and stay around 8-10% when you're a sniveling little shit eating 175g of protein a day.
>>42022808
Will be 8% 215 in 3 weeks there sport

>>42022868
Boogie has no muscle and has years of stored fat to use as energy, so no.

>>42022868
He can eat a multivitamin and drink a gallon of water a day and get all of his macros.

He litterally only needs JUST enough vitamins to prevent his body from eating his internal organs...and let's face it. Dude is not healthy. That will do serious damage to an already ruined system.

>>42022999
So you fraud? Sorry for your inadequacies buddy

>>42019649
It actually blows my mind that people AREN'T getting 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. How many fucking calories are you eating, dude? If you're 160lbs you should be eating at least 3000 a day. How the fuck are you going to get to 3000 calories a day without hitting that? I usually get around 3500 a day with almost 200 grams of protein. No supplements.

>>42022480
Cite one publication advocating anywhere near 1g/lb.

>>42023060

not everyone is 6'8" bro

serving of kirkland greek yogurt for breakfast, one for after dinner = 46 g protein

add in some oatmeal and chia seeds with this and you're probably hitting an easy 50 g protein by the end of the day

the remaining grams of protein could be filled out decently with lean meats for lunch and dinner (a salad w/ sardines helps w/ protein too)

realistically you could easily hit 100 g with this if you integrate enough lean meat
