Reminder that 0.8g of protein per lb is sufficient

(optimal)
do you get that word ?
>>42266101
Yes, and?

>you're just supposed to take for granted that they "trained intensively"
Exercise "science" at its finest. Garbage opinion discarded.

kinda makes you think

If he measured bodybuilders, they probably roided which just makes this study practically useless - in addition to being 25 years old.

Thanks for confirming I probably need like double that

isn't 1g per kilo enough?

badly done study... very badly
>>42266933
the newest and more precise studies actually show that 1g/kg is more than enough for proper muscle gains, you could use more if you were roiding though, but there is no need for natties to take more than the optimal 1g/kg

1 g / kg is like 80 grams a day. That ain't shit. What the fuck do you even eat all day to have that little protein? Just pound white rice and fruits and shit? Enjoy your beetus.

Here's the .6-.8g/lb argument, and it seems to be the same as the OP / Reddit argument, but it bases on, "If the studies were based on unreliable methods such as nitrogen balance, a marker of lean body mass changes, I only included them if they controlled for sweating and dietary adaptation periods." Well, what source states this of nitrogen balance? That's where the discussion is -- to what extent an increase in nitrogen positivity is helpful (https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson75.htm) --

>Badly done study
What the fuck are you on about? It's not a study, it's a meta analysis of the current scientific literature on the topic, absolute brainlet
