1.5 per pound. Is this for real?

>>42386615
haha epic bait bro!

>>42386615
1.4 grams per kilo

>>42386615
Just try 1g per pound of body weight at first see how that goes before moving on to higher dosages.

>>42386615
Anything more than 0.81g/lb is overkill and taking away from carbs which are more important for performance, recovery, and gains in general.

Most people can get away with 20g 4-5 times a day.

What an I'm looking for? Energy level? Weight loss? Gaining strength while cutting?

The sticky days per lb...

>>42386707
1g*

There's conflicting info all over the place. I'm about the same weight and I'm shooting for about 175 to 200 grams of protein a day.

>>42386640
2.2 grams per kilogram lean body mass and +3 grams for cutting

Everything else is a literal meme and people who advocate less are part of the Jewish movement to make even DYELs

>>42386735
More*

>>42386735
What do you mean +3?

OP here. I'm currently shooting for 175g and weight 205 lbs. Too much? To little?

What are the benefits of more if any?

>>42386791
I don't remember the exact amount as written in the study, but I know that the amount needed to maintain muscle mass at a caloric deficit is greater than 3 grams per kilogram LBM

So I wrote +3 to signify greater than 3

>>42386615
1g/lb of lean body mass. That's a lot lower than you think it is.

3.3 g per bmi point plus your height in decimeters.

>>42386921
I'm like 25% body fat

I read a study saying 0.6g/lb
I reach that as my minimum, sometimes going over, and haven't had any problems.

I'd experiment on the low end and increase as needed.

>>42386977
Yes and you have bones as well, a few pounds of blood and organs, etc.

>when the dogs know about noclip
Seriously, pay attention to the right end of the branch.

no scientific evidence above 0.87g/lb of LEAN bodymass

However, that doesn't mean it doesn't help, but as with most bodily processes there are diminishing returns

>>42386615
Whats the downside of eating too much protein? What if i have 2 per lb? or 3?

>>42387713
Glycogenesis, your body starts converting surplus protein into glucose.

>"The hypothesis that the rate of gluconeogenesis is primarily regulated by the amount of available material, e.g. amino acids, has not been supported by experiment. Having insufficient material available for gluconeogenesis will obviously limit the rate, but in the experiments we reviewed, having excess material did not increase the rate."
>"We haven't found any solid evidence to support the idea that excess protein is turned into glucose."

>>42386828
Are you kidding me? Thats 250gr of protein a day.

>>42387713
You'll be wasting your money because of diminishing returns
0.8g per lb is the upper limit for muscle gain, the same study that came up with that number also mentions that some people didn't see an increase in gains while going over 0.6g per lb

Don't shoot the messenger brah.

Protein is immensely important in building muscle. But it's twice as important in keeping muscle.

If you are going to be eating less food throughout the day, you are in a position where your body is using its reserve of energy (mostly fat). However, during this state, maintaining muscle becomes less of a priority and doubly so for building muscle.

So the protein you'll eat in that day is going to be used for energy instead of building/repairing/maintaining muscle mass.

Oh shit. That girl did porn? Link?

https://examine.com/nutrition/should-one-gram-per-pound-be-the-new-rda-for-bodybuilders/
tl;dr 2g protein per kg bodyweight is enough for 99.9% of young male bodybuilders
