How important is getting 1 gram of protein per lb of bodyweight

>>42515500
I'm going to say it depends on the person. I tried 1g per lb and I was so hungry by the end of the day that I would go way over my TDEE.

Seems like I just need more fat and carbs to keep me going but I still get about 170g of protein and weigh 205

0%. 1 gram/kg is all you need, max.

Did you make noticeably better gains though?

>>42515574
I've heard other people say this too. Is this real?

I'm cutting, only lost about 10% strength after 30lbs weight loss so far. Definitely look better. Currently at 205

I've heard 1g per lb of lean body weight touted quite a bit, but I've also heard that you can get gains on a lot less. It's important to remember that some of the studies which show the need to have large amounts of protein are done by supplement companies.

I believe the rule that most weightlifters (Oly lifts) use is 1.3 to 1.7g per kg of bodyweight (when bulking). I know a few people use that rule.

I think people like 1 to 1.3 when cutting, but idk about cutting as much

its not. whatever you consume and your body doesnt need it then the body just expells iit out

1g per lb is minimal when training hard. Protien does so much more than just build muscle, it produces enzymes, helps your body metabolize vitamins and the ever important positive nitrogen balance for muscle hypertrophy, it should always be taken with a little fat, mct is what I use but others like flax, hemp seed oil is good as well. Fat helps with protien synthesis. After work outs the try for around 40g-60g, and aim for 25-35g for rest of day per meal. I take aminos complex during workout. In the end every new research study that is viable says 1g per lb is keystone. Oh and there is also a thermogenic effect from high protien diets. One studied showed when taking in 1000 cal extra a day in protien no fat gain was evedent.

Clarence Kennedy, the strongest vegan alive, eats 1.2-1.4g protons per kg bodyweight so there u go :)

dont listen to this retard

Its really easy (chicken breast, whey, greek yogurt) to reach that target so why not. Might as well consume more protein rather than less.

focus on calorie intake. just eat in a calorie surplus and get like 0.8g/lb of LEAN body mass and youre good. but you will build more mscle if u eat more calories not protein % of macros

More importantly, how important is it to get that protein immediately before or after training?

People tend to confuse lean body mass with body weight. Afair 1g/lb lbs is a good measure.

>>42515500
its 1g / LEAN BODY MASS, not TOTAL WEIGHT. When will fatties realize?
